Loma vs Linares gets made if ESPN moves softball game

[jas]

to think that womems softball is jeopardising a major fight for hardcores

Listen, I'm all for the d1kes on spikes game to be shown but gives us men our boxing please.

I stand corrected. Apparently women's softball is probably more watched than boxing lol. Give us ladies our boxing please and let those dudes watch their softball game earlier

This is by design though. Arum has the May 12 date penciled in a while ago according to ESPN.

So maybe this Linares thing is just smoke and mirrorsand is another case of Bob floating a top name while planning the blow out all along.

I sure hope not.

arum got the rigo fight done so that should kill the in house fights only narrative and if it ends up being beltran I see nothing wrong with that beltran is a solid opponent and world champion the linares fight will still be there to be made

You seem to be purpousely missing the point.

Loma/Beltran is the fight Arum seemed to have planned, but that has been met with a lot of criticism, despite you liking it. I think most people would rather see him fight Berchelt or Linares.

Bob floated the May 12th date all along knowing Fishnets and GBP had an issue with that date. So people are upset this might be another "bait and switch" from bob.

So if the Linares fight gets made, cool. I will be happy and watch. if its Beltran, I'd be less happy but watch.

Strong rumors here that everyone is aligned, working together (Top Rank, Golden Boy, ESPN, HBO) to make @VasylLomachenko- @JorgeLinares fight. Announcement imminent.

Now that I think about it, if ESPN actually did that, they would get some serious backlash. The Huffington Post bloggers would be foaming at the mouth, writing 10 articles a day on the on subject.

who cares will just make more people want to watch anyway

LOL

The state of boxing, gents. ESPN shouldn't even think twice.

Certain bouts have shown that even casuals will tun into the big/good fights. I've seen twitter effects views, like the 3rd round of a fight kicks of violently, twitter erups, millions go to ESPN to watch.

The names matter little. People died for lomachenko when he embaressed rigo

This is what I like to hear yessssssssssssss. This is a top quality fight.

Looks like Gloden boy and Arum worked out everything but changing the fight time so it doesn't compete with GGG vs Canelo replay. A women's soft ball game has to be moved to a earlier time so this fight starts at 8pm est.

If espn doesn't change this they are idoits, no one cares about women's soft ball.

Fawk it move the damn game to ESPN 2

[sicko]

Please tell me that Softball is not a bigger draw for ESPN than Boxing
