PBC, Showtime, & Schaefer all working as one unit

Cute delusions and parroting from JoeMan aka one of Kathy Duva's inbred sisters.

Let's be real.

HBO is getting out of boxing because they are LOSING.

They blackballed Haymon and thought he'd come back crawling, but instead he got his revenge by taking control of 80% of the talent and freezing HBO out.

Now HBO can't make a good fight...only mismatches and retreads...so they're taking their toys and going home.

Packing it in because they lost.

If Haymon has 80% of the talent, then I think its time to shut boxing down for good. None of his fighters do **** or can win a damn meaningful fight.

He has like 200 fighters and like maybe 3-5% of the talent. Its pathetic really.

What does K2 and Duva have but a bunch of old trash???

K2 has Golovkin which none of Haymons middleweights can even touch.
Main Events has Kovalev who has a really good chance of entombing pretty much every light heavy on Haymons roster.

Its about quality, not quantity.
They each have one fighter in those weight classes and Haymon wont even bother going anywhere near them.
Thats whats sad.

They told you from the beginning that Showtime would remain a major player. In the first press release. In the ensuing press releases.

i never read a press release. where was this press release at? and they weren't a major player at first. look at the first few months. they became a player again when the money started drying up. look at the non showtime or spike funded pbc shows this year? almost all small cheap shows. Only big budget shows were Garcia Guerrero and wilder Arreola. Just the facts.

"80% of the talent..." Yet meaningful fights are rare and Hay mon would rather make Lara vs Zaveck, Lara vs Rodriguez where Lara gets $2 million. GTFOH.

Haymon and Schaefer are a dynamic duo.

We're going to get some amazing fights in the near future.

So you're just going to keep peddling your horse manure. Ok.

NEW YORK – CBS Sports and SHOWTIME Sports® have announced a multi-year joint venture to present live boxing on the CBS Television Network—the first of up to eight live events in 2015 will premiere on Saturday, April 4 at 3 p.m. ET on CBS. Premier Boxing Champions on CBS will air in conjunction with marquee SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING events as part of a partnership that will cross-promote the live programs across multiple platforms.

The first six weeks to begin this venture will feature two of the biggest names in the sport—Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., and Adonis Stevenson—and bookend this year’s most anticipated boxing event, the SHOWTIME PPV® presentation of the undisputed pound-for-pound champion Floyd Mayweather.

Each live boxing event on CBS and SHOWTIME will be supported with short- and long-form shoulder programming that will air across multiple platforms including CBS, SHOWTIME and CBS Sports Network. In addition, a significant marketing budget will be dedicated to promoting each of the live CBS broadcasts and each major SHOWTIME telecast with targeted advertising campaigns.

“The Premier Boxing Champions series on CBS will help usher in a new era in the storied history of boxing,” said Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President & General Manager, SHOWTIME Sports. “With the support of our parent company, we are uniquely positioned for a three-tiered approach that includes live boxing broadcasts on America’s No. 1 network, the cable reach of CBS Sports Network and, of course, the premium television leader in boxing, SHOWTIME. The benefit of elevating the sport across these platforms for all involved, including SHOWTIME, is immeasurable.”


Just let me know how many more releases you need. I know you're the type to keep your head up your ass cuz you're so full of ****.

Won't force HBO out, I don't think HBO will go away they been in boxing for too long but I do think boxing needs some type of unity for it to thrive because this DIVIDE right now is hurting EVERYBODY both HBO and PBC as well as the fighters so something really needs to be done about that! HBO don't have the roster to maintain because while they have top talent, those top talents need Dance Partners or else you will so more fighters do what Luis Ortiz is doing right now which is trying to get out of his current situation to make the jump for better money and better competition because he sees that at HBO and with GBP it is nothing for him at Heavyweight so they will continue to give him low pay and weak match ups! No Way will HBO be able to keep everybody happy. I think Schaefer will land some big names soon to his Promotion I'm sure.

I be schooling you on the regular. Then explain why nbc and espn are out of the pbc biz after their contract is up this year and why there have only been 2 big pbc fights through 8 months that werent paid by showtime or spike (garcia-guerrero and wilder-arreola which isn't even really that big but will give that one to them) and why nbc is showing cheap b rate shows now. Explain why all the other big shows are all paid for and not with waddell and reed investor money. Because the money is running out? Bingo! I stay clowning you hoes.
