What are some of the fights that have taken place on mainstream television, whether it be basic cable or premium channels, between two combatants, and the rematch was on a rival network...??? Such as: Jonathan Banks vs Seth Mitchell 1, aired on HBO Jonathan Banks vs Seth Mitchell 2, aired on Showtime
Spinks vs Judah I HBO Spinks vs Judah II Showtime Arce vs Hussein I HBO PPV Arce vs Hussein II Showtime Lewis vs Mayorga I HBO Lewis vs Mayorga II Showtime (dougie friday mailbag) Holyfield vs Moorer I HBO Holyfield vs Moorer II Showtime Holyfield vs Ruiz I & II Showtime Hoyfield vs Ruiz III HBO
Daniel Santos vs. Antonio Margarito I was on Showtime and the rematch was on HBO. Bermane Stiverne vs. Chris Arreola I was on HBO and the rematch aired on ESPN. Nonito Donaire vs. Vic Darchinyan I was on Showtime and the rematch aired on HBO. Jean Marc Mormeck vs. O'Neil Bell I was on Showtime and the rematch aired on Fox Sports Network. Tomasz Adamek vs. Steve Cunningham I aired on Versus and their rematch took place on NBC. But I guess this doesn't really count, since Versus is now NBC Sports Net.
I was going to mention the Adamek vs Cunningham shows, but I figured someone would point out the obvious that Versus is now NBC Sports Net...!!!
:good Also, Nelson vs Leija had different promoters for the fights: 1 & 2 were Don King 3 was Top Rank
Both weren't on HBO ? Hopkins vs Allen I & II Showtime Hopkins vs Allen III (what a pointless fight) HBO PPV I remember that the Berto vs Ortiz rematch was supposed to be on Showtime (first one on HBO) Carl Froch vs Mikkel Kessler I Showtime Carl Froch vs Mikkel Kessler II HBO Cleverly vs Bellew I Boxnation Cleverly vs Bellew II Skysport Fury vs Chisora I Channel 5 Fury vs Chisora II Boxnation
Nope. The first fight headlined a small Showtime card in Puerto Rico promoted by Frank ******. The rematch was the co-feature to Cotto-Pinto on HBO. But now that I think about it... Margarito-Cintron I was on ESPN PPV and the rematch was on HBO.
