That's dumb. Why would you want less boxing outlets?

so the fights you want are more likely to happen.

if the best talent is spread across five leagues, the best are less likely to face the best.

imagine if the nba and aba never merged, and you also had three more leagues. lebron, steph, kd, etc all in different leagues.

But could one argue that because Boxing is so divided it allows mega fights like maypac to be made?

For instance if Floyd and Manny were under the same promoter their fight wouldn't have been as big a deal.

They really screwed up by trying to “preschedule” a main event. What a down time, lost a lot of buzz. Peter Nelson needs to get fired asap

Also this aspect of the sport is what makes it so valuable to so many different networks ( the Mayweather effect) the hope that maybe one they will make another Mayweather who can bring in hundreds of millions of dollars

When I watch fights on Showtime I don't notice a bias. Pretty much ever. I'd love nothing more than to see Canelo and Golovkin get co-promoted by Arum, Haymon or even Hearn.

They just never shut the **** up though.

I remember watching Bute-Di Luisa on some channel. I thought, "**** it, just going to peep it in Spanish." I hit the SAP button and there wasn't any commentary, just the sounds of the fight. It was glorious, I teared up a little.

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum ripped apart the overall telecast of last Saturday night's HBO Pay-Per-View from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas - which was headlined by the middleweight rematch between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin.

But isn't it the promoter's not the tv network's fault?

This guy talking about undercards? Memory be going on him, he is notorious with crap undercards.

[aboutfkntime]

Anyone gots Sirius Radio & heard this whole show? What else was said about HBO?

Arum's definitely right in regards to the long ass pause. I believe it was a 1hr20mins between the last undercard fight & the main event. Thats f#cked up. Idk why you don't show Vergil Ortiz's fight & some of the other undercard fights to fill up your time. No one wanted to see these mfers talk for 80 minutes.

this

surely a plan B wasn't too hard to setup

seems like a very easy problem to solve

they could have also replayed a canelo fight and a golovkin fight during that timeframe
