Reports are HBO did make an offer for the fight.


I'm 100% sure HBO offer was less than the ESPN one.

ESPN ISNT PAYING THEM FOR THIS FIGHT! THIS IS PART OF THE PACKAGE TOP RANK AND ESPN DEAL! THIS FIGHT IS BEING PAID FOR BY THE AUSTRALIAN TOURISM BOARD...

[BOXINGADICT]

well yeah, obviously. And it is was a big enough offer for arum to take terrence crawford and vasyl lomachenko there also.

its not a offer! They did a long term 22 show deal with espn! Pbc has changed the game its obvious

[Beercules]

same way people complained about pbc being on free tv but the match ups werent up to par? Did you forget all that pbc hate for weak matchups??? Thurman vs guerrero got hate but manny vs jeff horny the school teach is a gift lmfao!

Manny. Pacquiao. Is. On. Free. Television. ESPN. Not. Bounce. TV.

if many destroys horn that would be great for him and his stock on free tv

how the fug is jeff horn lmfao

**** NEWS FLASH ****

LMAO!! Arum has turned out to be quite the comedian.

1. HBO refused to pick fight up!

2. Showtime would dare pick it up!

Even ARUM didn't do a PPV for this fight because he knew the not o my did networks laugh at him about PPV for this,they wouldn't even show it on regular cable.

ESPN is the only place that would have it!!

i criticize arum a lot but this is a good look for boxing. Hopefully they bring more competitive matches than pbc did on espn.

pbc gave us more competitive matches the past 3 years than any promoter on this planet! They had sooo many platforms they cant put all the good stuff on one channel! Manny vs horn is the worst matchup lmfao! Its like danny vs salka!

Pacquiao's last 3 fights have been turd shows and the broadcast for those 3 have declined steadily.

Bradley 3 HBO PPV got the lowest PPV buys out of their 3 fights because no one was clamoring for a 3rd fight.

Vargas was a joke cherry hand pick that was broadcast on the Independent PPV of Top Rank and was the lowest PPV buys total in a long, long time for Pacquiao.

Now the School Teacher Jeff Horn cherry hand pick gets put on ESPN.

Pac's last 3 fights have been dreadful opponent selections. Bradley being the best of the 3 but not a fight people were clamoring for.

A gift to boxing fans!?!?!? Lmaooooo more like ESPN was the only network willing to make an offer to televise this mismatch.

Spoon will take that gift...theres always 1 out of a few ten thousand that are grateful

i didnt even see the point for bradley 2 let alone the third one! Manny vs clottey, manny vs algieri, manny vs rios were all rip offs.... That horrible matchamking is partially to blame for mannys declining ppv sales also im sure.... Also once you fight on espn for free its going to be even harder going back to ppv and expect people to pay $70....
