Comments Thread For: Showtime's Espinoza: There's One Network Committed to Boxing

[MrRolltide91]

He's right.....

[al-Xander]

They're committed to boxing, yet they're not addressing the massive inactivity of top fighters in their side of the fence.

Sadly I have to agree with Espinoza, HBO has been downhill since time ago.

If you pay attention it seems like they only broadcasting now Canelo, Golovkin, Cotto, Lomachenko, Kovalev and Ward. Had forgotten Crawford.

and you can have a salido, francisco vargas thrown in between ocassionally.

Even HBO's webpage is trash now, they used to have quality and quantity I remember going to his website it was filled with interviews, boxing shows, 24/7's, face-off¿s.

It's sad because I always saw HBO's shows better than Showtime's ones, it just seem it's boxing budget got cut big time.

Showtime >> HBO

ESPINOZA IS SPEAKING THE TRUTH AS ALWAYS BUT SOME LOMA AND CANELO D RIDERS ARE CRYING BECAUSE THE TRUTH HURTS....

[JASON SHAW]

well considering they didn't spend much on boxing in 2015 and 2016 you better put that money to work because aside from two shows on the network hbo is kicking their asses on show ratings and viewers. I will acknowledge they've had a great start to 2017 and hope they keep it going.

showtime did way more than hbo for boxing in 2016 and 2017......

Showtime: the heart and soul of boxing.

Of the two premium networks they are the one that is giving the fans more of the fights they want to see.

Lol yea. Every time we turn around for an HBO event it is labeled as HBO PPV. Pfftt

And when it's not PPV it's some ****ty ass match up Fox Sports type ****.

Any chance we'll get to see their top fighters fight 3 times this year? Or they're content fighting once a year? This is the commitment they're talking about doe. Top fighters fighting once a year.

Daniel Jacobs called ... because Charlo said his name.
Jacobs-Charlo later this year?

[Butch.McRae]

HBO will leave the sport within 2 years, unless Canelo does big numbers against Chavez and GGG.

The entire future of boxing on that network is riding on him.

[Eff Pandas]

Yep Showtime on the rise....again. Lets see if they can avoid fumbling the ball once again. I'm rooting for them cuz they do seem more committed to boxing lately with putting on more of the fights people wanna see, but Espinosa has excelled at snatching failure from the jaws of success lets not forget that.
