Comments Thread For: Arum Explains Why Lomachenko-Linares Being on HBO is a 'Waste'

[Strategic1]

Arum is right.. ESPN will produce more exposure... HBO is premium... so there wouldn't be as much viewers...

Still...they should compromise.

[j.razor]

He's a spiteful old man but he's right.

espn isn't "free" & hbo would pay more to the fighters so Where is he right? The views?

[TheUntouchable]

Like the one last week when zurdo fought a guy not even in the top 100?

Yeah most early Haymon shows were like that. That's my point. Haymon only started matching his top fighters against each other when everything collapsed around him.

All I know is that the live card that GBP is planning to pair with the replay is going to the one of the ****tiest cards you'll ever see.

Instead of working together and giving fans the fight they want. GBP's greed is getting the best of them. They can obviously negotiate a way that Loma vs. Linares can appear before or after the replay. GBP's refuses to make that accommodation because they want to show their prospects, that no one cares about, like Ryan Garcia, Rey Vargas, Diego De la Hoya etc.

So lets make this clear. You as a fighter would take less money on espn or more on hbo?

[Bronx2245]

Pacquiao-Horn
Lomachenko-Marriaga
Crawford-Indongo
Ramirez-Hart
Murata-N'Dam
Shiro-Guevara
Lomachenko-Rigondeaux
Beltran-Moses

Not the best fights in the world but okay for the first 6 months, considering his stable of fighters.

And I'm really not a fan of Arum. I don't like any promoters, I really dislike them.

So, your turn, first 6 months of Haymon non PPV fights?

We were talking about GOOD FIGHTS. Not all fights.

[jjsmyth87]

Yeah most early Haymon shows were like that. That's my point. Haymon only started matching his top fighters against each other when everything collapsed around him.

And even then after Thurman Garcia there werent any good cards on Pbc last year, mostly mismatches and this year it looks like that trend is continuing for the most part. The Top Pbc fighters have been inactive as hell while the Top Rank fighters get 2-4 fights a year so we get to see the best Top Rank fighters more often

No they were not lol. Especially not the main event championship fight.

Ah come on, most fights were brutal mismatches. You can't deny that, nobody can.

Most of all of those fights are garbage lol and I thought we were comparing Top Rank on Espn which had its first fight July 2nd 2017. If thats the case we could go back and pull up hundreds if not thousands of Top Rank cards over the years.
