    Get on twitter (@StephenEspinoza) and tell him you're going to cancel your subscription to Showtime if they continue to let Al Haymon throw mismatches at you for your hard-earned money.

    We need to put Showtime on warning and let them know that we as boxing fans will not accept such a poor product.

    If we don't, the standard will just continue to drop.

    I think the backlash was pretty clear already
    But according to the Garcias it's all Salka's fault for being such a poor and low ranked boxer.

    Outside of Friday night fights, and a few other small press snippets, I really haven't heard much backlash. It's one of the worst cards I can ever remember a major titleholder being involved in, either on HBO or Showtime.

    Jacobs-Fletcher is a decent fight and the rest is just build up for Peterson-Garcia unification at the end of the year.

    Some good prospects on the under card

    For a free to air fight card, i don't see the big issue.

    Want to send a message? Dont watch.

    This is one of the best cards of the year, you biased nuthugger..

    Garcia vs Salka will be a HUGE fight.

    Just the type of sheep response I would expect. Also, it's not a "free to air" fight.. it's on a subscription-based channel, so what are you talking about?

    I did one better, I just flat out dropped my subscription. They don't give a sh*t about threats but I bet they care when it gets real. I ONLY have (or HAD) Sho for boxing...nothing else.

    When the cards get better, then they can get my money. I don't pay for bullsh*t.

    Good for you man. You should let them know why you cancelled it, if you didn't. Otherwise they just look at it as churn.

    Well cancel your subscription and quit your half assed bitching?

    Apparently calling for boycotts isnt a "shepp" response, even though people call for them constantly.

    If you think showtime doesnt show good fights, ring them up, and cancel your subscription.

    When I said freer to air, I obviously meant its not PPV

    That's the whole point of what I said, you dummy. :patsch Showtime needs to know WHY the subscription was cancelled, and why they need to put on better, more competitive matches as a "PREMIUM" cable channel.

    To be honest, I'm not even sure why I'm responding to you. You clearly have an agenda of supporting a load of **** like this. Good for you! Pat on the back for that one. If you were less of a fanboy and more of a fan, you would be bothered by poor cards like this.

    Also, to reiterate "Free to Air" is entirely different than "Premium cable", but it sounds like you're too busy with Danny's nuts in your mouth to understand the difference.
