Showtime needs to fire Espinoza.

[sicko]

Only 4 about to be 5 months into the year, lets see how the rest of the year plays out. Losing Devin Haney, probably will ultimately lose Jaron "Boots" Ennis and Clarissa Shields as well.

Still have Wilder and I'm assuming Pacquiao vs Thurman would be on Showtime PPV as well. Keeping Wilder with Showtime probably Saves him...For Now

Espinoza, Showtime’s president for sports and event programming, thinks Haney is on the cusp of becoming a “Showtime Championship Boxing” fighter.



lol Espinoza wanted Haney real bad. That's a huge L for him.

Nope! Pacquiao Thurman will be on Fox PPV.

SOURCES: Manny Pacquiao and Keith Thurman are closing in on a deal for a FOX PPV welterweight title bout that’s being pegged for July 20 in Las Vegas. There doesn’t appear to be any big hurdles to clear in completing deal. Big-time fight this summer

still can't get over how McGregor clowned him so badly.

hilarious

I think he's fine. His biggest loss so far was yesterday with Haney.

Damn Well...Espinoza better get on the phone and beg Mayweather to comeback

[kafkod]

Not a good year thus far? Sure, but why the hell would they drop him? He's the one that made the Mayweather deal and made SHO the equal of HBO, and eventually it's superior. HBO dominated for years and he changed that by getting the Floyd deal, which eventually led to getting all of GBP and Haymon fighters.

Haymon sent a lot of his top names on FOX in the first half of the year. Doesn't mean that will continue. Espinoza's plan is still to air the GRJ/LSC fight later this year as well as the 154 unification bout, preferably Charlo vs Hurd.

FOX getting the top names from their new deal was expected, but Haymon will soon to need to distribute names to both networks equally. I mean SHO still got the biggest PBC fighter in Wilder, and eventually hope to get the Joshua fight on SHO PPV.

So yeah, firing a guy that led the start to HBO's demise and making SHO the premium cable leader in boxing while putting on three of the four biggest PPVs ever is suspect to say the least.

There isn't a hope in hell of that happening now. Even if they could afford to outbid DAZN, which they can't, Hearn and AJ no longer trust Espinoza after he told lies about them on behalf of Finkel and Wilder.

Man you said it all

wtf is this guy doing? Haymon has been sending him his scraps all year. I mean I like the Easter-Barthelemy fight but that's pretty much an FS1 tier matchup tbh. They spent a bunch of money promoting Shields vs Hammer and it did terrible ratings. They also lost out on signing Devin Haney to DAZN which is a bad look because they featured him on Showbox 3 times before. Not a good year for Showtime boxing.

They made money off Pacquiao and Wilder's PPV. And they got Wilder's next fight.

Espinoza has made Showtime a fortune off boxing.
