Showtime: "If Al Haymon Wins GGG vs Jacobs bid, we'd do it on Regular cable not PPV"

[NEETzsche]

It would probably have about as many viewers either way

I can't wait until Monday to see how it pays out.

Make it happen on Showtime doe. HBO, ESPN, Fox, who tf cares where and which network?

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Keyword "TRY" , he said he would try to put it on regular showtime and not showtime ppv.

I really hope this doesn't go to Showtime. They have absolutely ABYSMAL viewership, it would be an absolute waste putting a fight like this on there.

Not to mention I don't have Showtime.



Now you're talking. This would be amazing for boxing.

Nice way to try and really bury the lead there, lol.

Pay the fee to get the channel for a month (to catch the fight and the promotional video) or look for a means to try and steal it.

[Rip Chudd]

Put it on PBC and you'd really have something to excite boxing fans.

That honestly would be the best thing for boxing.

[Mr. 29K]

I hope its on PPV. I want this to flop, so Triple Flop aka Triple She can be remembered as Mr. 97k for life!

As a fan, I wish it was on regular Showtime rather than HBO ppv, 100%!

But read between the lines - is Showtime going to drop $6mill on a Golovkin fight so that he can come onto their network, KO Danny Jacobs, and go back on HBO??? What kind of investment is that?

To me I see this, and either Showtime is expecting Haymon to subsidize the fight to meet it's price line or they're blowing smoke.
