all he would have to do is an exhibition/sparring session of 3 rounds vs anyone and say its part of the card.... i remember larry holmes doing that on an HBO card back in the day and the aired it.... realistically there are 25 other channels they could also use with this much time to spare...obviously they better learn no to announce dates next time unless they are done deals
Yeah like I said though the Magee and Dirrell fight was never locked down, so that might be why Showtime passed. TMT couldn't give them assurances that they could deliver a double header.
