    It better not be a Top Rank TV streaming service. I'm sure not paying a monthly subscription for 2 or 3 fights limited to one promoter.

    IIRC, Dan said a "different platform" than HBO. Didn't specify television, which makes me think it might be Hulu or Netflix or something like that.

    Hulu only has 10 million subscribers. That isn't big time. Far from it. Netflix would be big time but can't see them caring about Boxing.

    The irony is that Arum was on free tv 100 years before Haymon. If anything, blame HBO for the **** that is PPV which changed the way things are done.

    That will be a problem because he ****ing spoiled these guys so bad that Garcia's daddy was whining like a jailhouse ladyboy in a gangbang about his son, "not being a stepping stone for NOBODY!!!"
    Him and Berto where lavishing in the era of getting big money fighting c level guys and now the gravy train has stopped and they have to fight now thank God. Haymon needs to free his lower teir guys if he is not going to have them fighting regularly like you said. It does not have to always be on TV. Top Rank and GBP put on fights regularly and keep guys active with or without a camera.

    EPIX would be a possiblity, since EPIX showed The Klitschkos' fights when HBO and Showtime were boycotting them...........if now, Showtime would be great as HBO is just not showing enough fights and those are becoming PPV at fairly soon to be $100...............Greed!

    Maybe the Ward-Kovalev reaction is calming down enough to bring this up...
