    Iole has mentioned that this may lead to HBO dealing with shows that Epix had been picking up on the down low.

    Just like Sky boxing is Matchroom boxing here, Showtime boxing is Golden Boy boxing in the US.

    Top Rank/GBP don't do businesss together as it is, this just kills any hope of a truce in the near future.

    Not good for the sport at all.

    Dan Rafael reported this on his twitter finishing with "That's big."

    Tyson Fury replied with "not as big as your belly lol". :lol:

    Has Fat Dan said something to **** Tyson off in the last couple of days? Can imagine him being right up Cunningham's arse crack.

    WealthTV have also picked up same great fights in the last year.

    the Bute-Grachev & Viloria-Marquez cards were fantastic cards, good entertainment on the undercard and you could legally stream it from WealthTV online for £6.

    Good on HBO for calling enough is enough.SHOWTIME doesn't have the budget or the dates to keep GBP happy and there is no other network big enough to handle this.

    :lol:
    When you go onto the forum page it has all the threads. When you've made it double click around the title but not on it obviously. It then becomes editable.

    Can do the complete opposite, too.

    GBP and TR are now being freed up to boss their respective networks without a single rival promoter in sight. The playgrounds are theirs.
