    ?????

    What is their partnership with TRU TV, and if there is one, I wonder if theyd allow for their top sellers to fight on that network to help in making fights vs Haymon fighters. :think

    Why wouldnt he????

    It's not HBO, and realistically, his PBC model is only gonna go so far.

    It's a great platform and a great start for his brand, but Showtime will never air a PBC show, HBO will never air a PBC show, and while we've always had these promoter wars going on, boxing always prevails and the fighters insist on fighting the rival promoters fighters.

    :think

    BTT

    So, Showtime figured to give Haymons biggest names network contracts, something Haymon is unwise doing tying his guys to a single network and killing possible megafights on basic cable and network TV.:think

    What big name fighters are tied to Showtime besides Wilder and Stevenson?

    Broner has a contract with Showtime but just fought on SpikeTV.
    Garcia, Thurman and Porter fight on CBS and NBC.
    In fact Khan fought on HBO and so did Wade.

    Haymon is very open to letting his guys fight anywhere that pays them right. GBP and Top Rank are ****ing there fighters by having them only on one network.
