Still no numbers for 'The Moment'...HBO done well to drop TBE

Haymon is pathetic

 

Hopefully the underwhelmingness of Pacquiao's and Mayweather latest outings will result in the networks putting pressure on the fighters to make Pacquiao-Mayweather happen.

 

Maybe if this were 2010 and both Mayweather/Mosley and Pacquiao/Clottey flopped big time.

 

i know i'm a dreamer

 

Haymon is pathetic because he pitted Matthysse against Danny.

The hype train derailed completely. :deal

 

HBO simply understood that it wasn't Floyd by himself selling the PPVs - it was both Floyd and THE OPPONENT. That's why they actually tried to make a Floyd vs Pac fight.

Al Haymon is a clown and a very shady one at that. He needs to go because his only goal is to make money selling people fights they don't want to see.

And the fans even told them they weren't going to buy the fight. Remember the reaction when Floyd gave everyone a "choice" between Khan and Maidana? We had a poll on here and most people voted for Pacquiao and Lara.

 

Showtimes boxing viewership is up 61% since 2012.......hmm what happened in 2012 that caused their boxing viewership to go up? That's a rhetorical question but for those of you who don't know the answer, I suggest you do your research.

 

....and for the record HBO didn't drop TBE, he left for greener pastures.....literally.

 

HBO is owning Showtime this year.

 

time will tell if haymon's business model is sustainable. so far, though, it ain't looking good.

 

i said this before hbo made a smart business move.

 

havent heard Showtime complain at all.....

 

you think they would make the complaint public ?
