How predictable was this? All the "fans" who nuthug Afro American fighters and hate Eastern Euro's now suddenly have no use for HBO and think Showtime's business medel should be standard operating procedure. HBO still has Irish Andre Ward!
Showtime is just a venue for perpetuating the myth of West African superiority in boxing. That's why we are getting the mistmatches we are today from Showtime. HBO has a full range of fighters from diverse ethnic and racial backgrounds that extends further than the typical slick ghetto American hoodrat. HBO fighters come from places such as Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, Cuba, America, and Latin America. I see nothing wrong with HBO trying to propagate a new surging number of fighters hailing from Eastern Europe. I can't believe that some of the fans here would rather some fighters jump ship from HBO and fight exclusively for Showtime when it emerges that they have a new challenger on the horizon that hails from Eastern Europe than give the fans the fight the fans want to see. Their excuse on the matter would be along the lines of citing a fighters financial woes as an excuse for blatantly ducking a fight in lieu of taking the more honorable approach of going out there, fighting, and falling on their shields as a true warrior would. I see it here so many times in regards to the Stevenson-Kovalev fight being made. Fans are happy that Stevenson is ducking Kovalev because Stevenson priced himself out of a one sided mismatch. Is Stevenson paying your bills you ******s?
It's quite disgusting but very predictable. The same way all these La Raza douche bags on here will support Chavez Jr when he signs with Al Hayman to avoid GGG.
Where the **** are you European pansies coming from? Why do you have to make up some anti-European conspiracy just to justify why people don't seem to like that boring robotic European style? Lomenchenko was said to be the next big thing here (probably becuz he's white) but HE FAILED, and so no one cares. EVERYONE liked Khan when he was winning, but he got KO'd. Calzaghe had nothing but opportunity to prove how good he was, but he chose not to (and yet still gets a ridiculously undeserved amount of respect here). So what exactly are you guys talking about? Everyone thinks GGG is the best middleweight. Everyone likes Kovalev, what the hell are you guys talking about?
SHO is killing HBO. HBO has nobody over there. Rigo, Ward and GG. Good fighters, but nobody is watching them regardless of how many lies they tell about those guys getting good ratings.
How many alts are you going to come up with, damn...!!!??? No matter how much you want to whiten your opinion here dick head, we will always know who you are every time you post. You get no respect, your alts get no respect, and the white fighters that you like get no respect.
I gotta go with SHO. 2013 was one of the best years in boxing history. Mainly due to SHO. HBO is bigger, because of more subscribers. But its not really close in boxing anymore. Golden Boy has better fighters than Top Rank. I love the SHO commentating team. And the best fighter in the world is on SHO. HBO will have nothing but rematches for the next 2 years, GGG fighting some Tomato Can, Kovalev fighting some tomato Can. Mikey is about to come over to SHO too, so thats gonna be great.
Excuses excuses I was responding to someone boasting about showtime and I had a rebuttable no need to get mad :good Pssssh.. If I'm wrong please correct me with facts showtimes first half has been mismatches curtsey of Al Haymon
Showtime has more guys I agree but having all the guys don't matter if there not fighting each other One word AL HAYMON!!!!!!:hi: Pssssh... Sources say Haymon is pushing hard for khan to be Floyd's next opponent in September yawn
:rofl:rofl The fact that you think I use alts is hysterical. I'm not here to push forward an agenda to a bunch of people I have no knowledge of beyond the confines of a very insignificant, inconsequential, and inconspicuous internet forum dedicated to a sport that is already one hair away from the peripherals of mainstream sports. I'm here to discuss boxing with like minded people. Most people here have there own personal agendas to push forth that are predicated on race, ethnicity, and blatant sycophancy. I am not one of those people. I just call things as I see it. I choose this website because it has a very user friendly interface.
HBO's fall season had nothing to due with it? :think They gave probably most of the compelling, and action packed fights of last year.
