    Fight Camp 360 instead (I actually prefer that to 24/7)

    The biggest thing to come from this is no more Michael Buffer for Floyd fights :yep

    It's Showtime!

    HBO's boxing budget is at least 3x of Showtime from 2-3 years ago, I doubt it has gone up that much.

    I don't think it was that much bigger.

    Last year it was reported Showtime had increased their boxing budget whilst HBO had cut it.

    :goodIts the biggest differece between the two. HBO guys (except roy jones) go off talking about things that dont have to do wih the fight.

    What is so hard to believe about the fact that different judges see different fights. Explain to me why floyd in the hatton and dlh fight was ahead when he clearly was not the aggressor or why he had morales up when he wasn't the aggressor. If you were put in his spot I'm sure myself and millions of others would trust his scores more so than yours.

    6 more fights? :think

    I guess the idea of Alexander/Mayweather isn't so farfetched after all.

    damn, talk about a **** year for HBO. First all those cancelled good fights and now this? Some people about to lose their job. As for the move itself, I have Showtime, so bring that **** on already! Commentary will be leagues better then HBO, barring RJJ.

    it's well known that gbp/schaeffer promised to deliver floyd to showtime in exchange for getting most of their dates.

    it was posted on another site that there was a holdup on the fight getting announced for awhile as floyd wanted to stay with HBO but if Floyd did that, GBP won't guarantee his purse. seemed like floyd backed down and is now doing what his pimp oscar told him to do.

    Anderson Silva recently signed a 10 fight mega deal similar to this.

    Floyd's whole thing is being undefeated. He'll retire undefeated. I can't see him taking any fights he's not 100% sure he can win.

    It means no more Floyd on 24/7.
