Comments Thread For: Espinoza Confident Showtime to Air Joshua Fights for Long Time

[rickJen]

This may be the final straw if these 2 clowns jump to HBO, it is so obvious who is ducking who. With Showtime in the mix, I do not see why this fight doesn’t get made to see who the real heavyweight of the champion is, that is what the REAL BOXING FANS want to find out and see once and for all. If AJ pulls it off, I will be the first to give him his props, but for now, he is a scared fraud!

Joshua was not the one who ducked Klitschko doe.
Wilder did. Just imagine if Beyontay was the one who beat Klitschko.
He'll most likely want 80/20 split.
Beyontay is one of the biggest jokes in boxing.

[IMDAZED]

Has Espinoza given up on making big fights locally and has become dependent on whatever Hearn produces?
Beyontay can't even accept anything less than 50/50, of all people.
How do you suppose to bank on a fight that is not even sure of materializing?

Spence is fighting Peterson.
Swift is fighting Rios.
Garcia is fighting Lipinets.
Are these all SHO got?

GOAT troll

[Pigeons]

Joshua-Wilder, the next Kovalev-Stevenson. Except this time, the b*tch will be fleeing to HBO instead of Showtime.

Stephen Espinoza has been killing the game. I remember when all the weirdos laughed at his huge signing of Floyd. They started making threads about showtime losing money lol.
In just his short stint with Showtime floyd accounted for the 3 highest PPV of all time. Great gamble and win for Stephen.

Killing the game? If by the game you mean show times budget, then yes. Espinoz is an idiot bidding against himself.
How much do you think they paid for the spence fight next month? Who else would have paid anywhere near that amount? Espinoza should have offered half of what he wound up paying.
What about Garcia vs Rios? Who is paying for that, again Espinoza should have offered half of what he wound up paying. The only fight he should be bidding on is the Joshua vs Parker fight and he doesn't have to, he just has to match hbo's offer.

What happened to all this "PBC on free tv" we got it the first year and select fights last year, but Espinoza paying for Garcia vs Rios when Channels like NBC, FOX and CBS were getting paid to show thurman VS Garcia AND Guerrero and Garcia vs Guerrero demonstrates that he's paying for inferior fights thatn what networks were getting PAID to broadcast!

Why say no when offered a free steak dinner at Morton's steakhouse and instead head over and pay for McDonald's?

Shut up Espinoza has nothing to do with PBC

Shut up Espinoza has nothing to do with PBC

How doesn't he when I swear most of them PBC fighters fight on Showtime with the exception of ABC NBC FOX FS1 BOUNCE & ESPN for the PBC platform so he would have to be involved some where down the line when itcomes to working with Haymon

[Bronx2245]

Yea that's the joke on free Tv all boxers do over a million views
Showtime and HBO subscription Ratings are the ones that count

The first fight was on Showtime, which is a subscription channel.

Despite currently being inferior in quality HBO still has a much bigger platform and the proven track record of creating superstars. With the exposure HBO could give him, AJ vs Wilder would be a greater ppv success. The only big ppv's Showtime has done recently featured guys who were built on HBO. Showtime has not been capable of creating a big ppv star for as long as I can remember.
