So how does a Showtime employee get assigned to judge a fight.....

It's convenient that you only noticed this weekend, though, wouldn't you say? Given your past posting history which is...shall we say...rather hypercritical of Haymon and PBC?

Some might think you're being selective with your outrage.



I think it's refreshing that this forum has folks that speak up and ask for Haymon/PBC to be given a fair shake. It's a nice change of pace from much of the boxing media that seems to have had it in for him since day 1.

That type of bias from supposedly objective outlets is what should truly be nauseating to you.

Got him!

You wiped your ass with that hater.

Anything is better than a roach with plucked eyebrows.

Steve Weisfeld has also scored fights for HBO. He returned to judging fights in 2015. Are you saying he is no longer allowed to judge the biggest fights in boxing (those that air on HBO and SHO) because he has at one time worked for HBO and SHO?

For me thats a problem. And I'd like to think it'd be a problem for a respectable boxing commission (which my be a oxymoron). If you worked at Wendy's & now you work at the FDA or somewhere where you could make Wendy's look good or bad you probably shouldn't be allowed to do that specific Wendy's job in your new capacity at this new gig. This isn't complicated.

And fwiw I'm also one who sees a problem with Lederman's daughter judging HBO fights when her dad works for HBO.

I suppose you could play 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon with conflict of interest situations & leave everyone jobless & all fights judgeless, but I think there are certain connections that are too fresh or too closely connected to be ignored.

What about the judge that scored it 97-93 for Granados? We must look into his past!!!

I'm more bothered by the scale fiasco. They allowed Broner to weigh-in, then suddenly everyone else's weights were off and they discovered the scale needed to be recalibrated. Everybody had to reweigh except Broner. It's almost as if they set the scale to take off a few lbs for AB then tried resetting it but messed up.

involving a Showtime fighter?

How could Steve Weisfeld's conflict of interest not have been OBVIOUS to the Ohio commission? And he unsurprisingly turns in a scorecard with the widest margin (7-3) for the Showtime fighter?

Boxing doesnt even try to hide its corruption / incompetence anymore. And people wonder why its a fringe sport......

So true. Lots of hometown cooking and SHOWTIME cooking in that one.

american boxing for you.....

The Haymon defence force trying to make this a non issue just because the judge has worked for HBO? if anything, that doubles the judges conflict of interest...

Damn, I swear people cry and bitch for damn near everything. Can a former NBA player not become an NBA ref? Should a baseball player that played for multiple teams not be able to become a manager because one day out of 162 days in baseball regular season, he might manage against another former team of his?

You dudes act like females on here over every damn thing. I had Granados winning but 2 judges, not just this former employer, gave it to Broner.
