This would be an amazing start to 2018. Garcia and Linares both FIGHT. Every time I go to cancel HBO or Showtime to save money, these types of rumors show up on Showtime or a favorite of mine signs up with HBO and I am right back to paying out the cash.

Both camps sound like they are serious. I would be super stoked for this one.

4 reals. I was going to cancel HBO and Showtime but kept them because Wilder vs Ortiz and Berchelt vs Salido. Hopefully this fight gets made. It's getting expensive.

Almost all of HBO's big fights are on pay-per-view, you can cancel HBO without missing out on much if you're the type to watch PPVs and not wait for the tape delay.

But Showtime is absolutely essential for any US boxing fan. Almost every US world champion is fighting on Showtime.

Fricken love hearing this.If we get this WILDER VS Joshua and Thruman vs Spence in 2018? Boxing will be much more revalent in 2019. It will make 2017 look like crap and all 3 are poss. Plus GGG v Canelo 2 in may(no later)

It goes to show that the whims of a single TV executive or higher up can dramatically change the landscape of any sport. Les Moonves loves boxing and sometimes that's all it takes.
