    Comments Thread For: Espinoza: Golden Boy Knows Showtime 'Very Interested' In Canelo

    NEW YORK Stephen Espinoza has made an aggressive pitch to Canelo Alvarez's team. All Showtime's president for sports and event programming can do now is wait for Alvarez, Oscar De La Hoya and Golden Boy Promotions president Eric Gomez to choose the Mexican superstar's new broadcast partner in the United States. Alvarez is a television/streaming free agent now that HBO has announced the premium cable network will move away from broadcasting boxing by the end of this year.

    Golden Boy will take Alvarez to Showtime, mainly because Oscar isn't going to want to share co-promotion with Eddie Hearn (DAZN) or Bob Arum (ESPN).

      Of course ESPN are interested, the majority of money in post-Mayweather boxing at the moment is between Canelo and AJ; the latter already being signed up to DAZN/Matchroom.
      DAZN may make an offer but won't be able to afford both big-money fighters, so Showtime will likely be the biggest competition. Who else is showing fights Stateside now HBO have thrown in the towel?

        Lol, where are the ****** fuccs who kept saying Showtime wouldn't pursue Canelo because Stephen Espinoza didn't like Oscar... 😂
        I told you morons this is a business and a smart businessman won't let his personal feelings get in the way of making money...
        Canelo is the biggest star in boxing and there isn't one sports network who wouldn't want Canelo on their network!
        That's reality!

          Wait wait wasn't Espinoza so angry at Canelo and Oscar for not even listening for an offer before moving to HBO? and he express "that was hard to reconciled."

                Oh okay then. Yeah too many fools be sensitive on here. That pretty much tells you they aren't very smart and don't accomplish much in life.. 😆
                Boxing is a business and Stephen Espinoza is a smart man and he's not gonna let his personal feelings get in the way of making money for Showtime.
                Too many fools on here don't see it that way though...

                  Awesome, make Canelo-Spence for Dec. They both need dance partners.

                    Showtime makes the most sense. Actually for Canelo/Golden Boy and GGG/Loeffler.

                    They will get one of them. But if they get both than damn!
