Comments Thread For: Showtime's Espinoza: No Sport Lies To Its Fans Like Boxing

[Bob Haymon]

When did Espinoza mention Davis? Look at the quotes. He didn't say Davis once.

Espinoza is talking about wanting to have unbiased announcers. What's wrong with that? We all dislike biased announcers, and I think most people would agree that Showtime is less biased than the other networks. What's there to disagree with?

Did you even read the story? Here is what it says in the story:

Espinoza pointed to a competing network omitting Davis from its list of the sport’s top punchers as a prime example of attempting to mislead viewers with what he considers agenda-driven information.

He is talking about a ****** controversy from a few weeks ago when ESPN showed a list of champions with the highest KO percentage. Tank was left off the list because he vacated his belt and isn't a champion right now.

like the head of a network saying they care about boxing and the best facing the best, but only really caring if he can make it for his network, otherwise blocking it. and since his network offer less money for the top fights like aj-wilder and even lesser fights like tank-farmer, it means they're blocking more often than not. this guy is stopping the best fights, his network constantly putting on intentional mismatches, but he's blaming everyone else

Do you even follow the sport of boxing???Showtime didn't block AJ-Wilder. Wilder and AJ made their own decisions. Showtime didn't have an exclusive deal with Wilder, so they couldn't have blocked him.

What international mismatches has Showtime done lately? I mean, besides Joshua-Molina and Joshua-Martin.

You got some reading comprehension issues. That word is intentional not international.

What's an intentional mismatch? Are there accidental mismatches?

And how did Showtime prevent AJ vs. Wilder from happening when Wilder wasn't signed to Showtime?

Intentional mismatch as opposed to trying to make evenly matched fights. Charlo-Hogan and Davis-Gamboa are trash.
