    The only reason Showtime is airing Linares vs. Crolla II is to set up Garcia vs. Linares!

      Yes. This was a smart move by Espinoza. Makes me think someone is doing his job for him. LOL

          If we can't get Mikey against Lomachenko or Crawford, this is an acceptable alternative.

              This is a beautiful match-up. Two clean, hard, creative punchers. Advantage goes to Mikey due to his freshness and more responsible defence, though

                It also makes me think that HBO doesn't want to be in the boxing business anymore.

                  I think they are going with the star driven model. They will feature stars and then low budget fights.

                  The big one is Joshua/Wlad. If showtime outbids them for that and Joshua wins, then HBO will have wlad and Ortiz and all the other HWT's will be on SHO.

                  If, and its a big IF, SHO can get HWT poppin again, then they may start to see the pendulum swing.
