Blame ShowTime yeah ,Remember somehow they approved this August 9 Card which is the worst this year for a Championship fight :--lol:
when will you idiots learn, showtime has no say over his opponent selection. They cannot force nothing, listen to tephen espinoza!!
The promotion went all out and put two stars on the undercard in Khan and Broner and couldn't break a million buys. First, they'll say it was hurt by NBA games. Come September, they'll say college football hurt their ratings. I really wonder what's going on at Showtime these days. With their decreased PPV buys, guys like Cotto and Pacquiao will likely be forced to take a paycut in their next bouts or rely heavily on PPV upsides. Mayweather gets his no matter what, and there is no bout on the horizon outside of Pacquiao that could do close to the number that the OP predicted. I don't understand why they continue to appease Haymon with crap fights like Garcia/Salka. Mayweather's already under contract; it's not like HBO would put up the same guarantees that Showtime has agreed to.
