    Haymon still has a lot of control over showtime dates. Since pbc began, it is very apparent that haymon puts cards on showtime to compete/sabotage with hbo shows and makes sure there are no shows that interfere with his pbc shows. Espinoza needs to show some balls and tell haymon that he wants his Saturday nights without going against hbo. This, among other things, has killed showtime's ratings
    Showtime had the date first.

    HBO should have picked a different date that had no boxing. That way fans don't have to go through long periods with no fights.

      I'm going to be at the vargas vs berchelt fight so it doesn't matter to me but if I was sitting at home and had to pick one card to watch it would be vargas vs berchelt why? because its guaranteed action and will probably be a fight of the year candidate. miura vs roman on the undercard will also be fireworks!!!!

          2 great all action cards on the same night. This is why every boxing fan should have a digital video recorder (DVR).

            These guys know when each other are planning shows, whether it's public or not.

              No problem. I can watch one or the other after watching one or the other. No big deal. The Vargas fight seems interesting.

                The bigger more important fights are on SHO. But HBO will likely double them in viewers. That's just the way it is.

                  It's sad.

                  Carl Frampton vs. Leo Santa Cruz II and Mikey Garcia vs Dejan Zlaticanin are both terrific fights.

                  They deserved to have the spotlight to themselves that night.

                    Plus I believe the winners will get matched up and maybe the losers can fight each other or Salido

                    Both fights will be amazing

                      I really hate when boxing does this, hurting an already damaged sport by forcing its true hardcore fans to choose.

                      I'm gonna watch the showtime fights live and record the HBO fights to watch afterwards.

                      All that being said, will be a great night of boxing
