HBO on that ? with the delayed broadcasting rights. The winner of the fight gets the fight shown on his network. It's fair and what was done in the past.
Also states HBO wants to have the fight in 2016 when Mayweathers contract with SHO runs out. Smh.
HBO just pissy they're the network with the b-side fighter
when they had the a-side fighter in the lewis/tyson fight - the delayed broadcast rights was a non-issue
now they're kicking up dust and want to wait until 2016 (to most likely throw money in mayweather face and keep the fight in-house)
they might turn around and rob arum the fight for good....
problem is HBO is still the A side network.
its like mayweather challenging for a title. hes still the A side even though they are the champs.
in this case, showtime has the draw but they still have the smaller subscriber base.
point blank this fight has too much red tape on it lol
and the worst part is, the ? all gonna be for an uneventful 12 round majority decision (unanimous would be my prediction but for a fight this big they'd wanna do just like the alvarez fight and leave room to sell a rematch)
When netflix decides to do live tv or streams. All cable will be over. For now, its a top "cable network". Its time is very limited though. HBO may not even be around other than its HBOgo app in about 10-15years... The network dominance it has over showtime is small in comparison to the subscriber ship of Netflix.
agreed, which is why you are making the argument for their current stance.
everything you said is a reason for them to put their foot on the ground for this fight -
all this plan b talk doesnt have me shocked, but its most def pushing towards making that cotto mayweather 2 fight nobodys been asking for -

If Mayweather Vs Pacquiao doesn't happen, neither will Pacquiao Vs Khan. Al Haymon will say no and wont allow Arum to make a big purse from that fight. -
Is Cqnelo v Khan or Pacman a possibility?

My thoughts exactly! I ain't even siding with a fighter from either camp. ? them, their camps, the tv ? , the whole ? farce it is.
On a side note, who'd bang Jinkee, Pacman's wife?? Seen him playing guitar and her singing just now, a recent post online.. she cool -
Watching Pacquiao play guitar and watching his wife sing seems like you most def sided with a fighter lmao!

i promise you this guy is doing his best to sabotage the fight....i don't know why no one else sees it... the only person talking to the media instead of in a negotiation room.....if bob wasn't a part of this, the fight woulda been happened 6 years ago......i've never been more positive of nothing in my time as a fan of the sport -
lol so it has nothing to do with anyone but arum again?http://ringtv.craveonline.com/news/379901-bob-arum-on-mayweather-pacquiao-nobodys-listening-to-anybody

pattern of behavior.....
no one else is running to the media complaining about how difficult the fight is to make but bob.... -
People are so thick headed and biased its just annoying ..
You have cats. that are saying that Floyd is just acting like he wants the fight to not want it...
the logic is ? ? .. there is no upside to him pretending to want a fight.. he wont turn the tide in his favor ever.. ? is stupid..
-
people don't like floyd...that's the basis...
they want him to be a cowardly ? ? who is scared of getting his ass whooped...that's the motivation
so anything using his name will be addressed with those two things in mind...
it has nothing to do with logic, or most likely scenario.....it absolutely has to end with him being afraid of fighting manny, and being a ? ? in general
most of manny's fans truly honestly believe that Floyd is afraid of him,.....if the fight falls apart now they will say he was scared....if the fight happens, they'll say he was scared to make it 5/6 years ago......
people truly 100% believe that Floyd is afraid of fighting manny.....afraid.....like a scardy cat
-
problem is HBO is still the A side network.
thats true - but 'larger subscriber base' is their only leverage at this point
the inital issue in the lewis/tyson fight is showing its face again (from a network standpoint) - they're making it about themselves instead of the event/ fight alone

lol this is what i'm saying,
hes complaining to the media about the fight being difficult to make so that means hes not trying to make the fight?
what?
this is the same ? as when the showtime rep said theres no tv deal yet so pacman couldnt have signed anything
or when hbo said they aren't holding anything up
its negotiating through the media, its done all the time, it doesn't sabotage the fight.
whether or not the ? gets made at this point is hanging on a tv deal. the fighters settled their differences already. -

this is very true, but its a double edged sword, this same pactard logic has driven the fight to a fever pitch.
its still a few years too late for my taste, but no one could deny the 3-1 odds are only this close because the marketing has pitched this idea.
its what helped make this such a high priced fight (i'm sure every ? in here who knows boxing knows this ? isn't going to be anything other than a lopsided decision)
