Haymon and Showtime killing HBO CELEBRATION THREAD

[Randall Cunning]

You're so ****ing ******. Showtime just signed the biggest boxing deal of their existence. They spent tens of millions to bully HBO out of the boxing business. Showtime won. Now they get to reap the rewards. Why the hell would they leave boxing when they just tripled down on boxing and it's been such a huge success for them?

Good point Schaefer.

The OP beat me to this thread.

HBO shot a burning slug into their own heads in 2013 when they banned Haymon fighters from their network.

They had plenty of time to mend that fence and didn't care to.

I don't celebrate ANY carrier getting out of boxing.

But, this was SOOOOOOO avoidable...

They obviously made the decision to get out of boxing, and it's been coming for a while. Why would they want to avoid something they were doing intentionally?

[just the facts]

the only thing haymon has killed is interest in american boxing, what stars has he built recently? HBO pulled out cause people arent interested in boxing any more save for canelo, pacquiao and joshua. Theres more money to be made elsewhere

Again, if Al Haymon was Caucasian, you’d be posting over and over about how PBC was the best thing that ever happened to boxing.

Good point Schaefer.

You know you're wrong. Which is why instead of addressing my points, you try to make a joke. Very cowardly tactic. Just be a man and admit there's no logical reason to believe Showtime will get out of boxing any time soon.

Showtime is about to have their most dominant period in boxing ever.

[just the facts]

Haymon is a snake and a slave master.

Based on what exactly?

Damn one of the worst things ive ever seen from a so called boxing fan. GO USA! GO USA! Same with every sport, America throws the toys out of the pram if they aint on top.

I never said I was a boxing fan. Stop making things up.

no i wouldnt....

Your racist history here says you’re lying.

This simply signals the decline of US boxing. You guys are ridiculous not realizing that you're celebrating the decline of your sport. For decades HBO was the heart of the sport. This Haymon feud is making you overlook the real reason HBO is dropping boxing.

Yeah, fans are now laser-focused on Showtime and PBC.
Fans are going to puke if they see garbage fights again
such as Lara vs Zaveck, Lara vs Foreman, Lara vs Gausha, etc.
Spike finally cut their ties with Haymon and stopped buying such garbage fights.
Could happen with Fox if Haymon is not careful.
