Comments Thread For: Showtime's Espinoza: 9 Boxing Events In 10 Weeks Says We Remain Committed To The Sport

[Hustle]

Its funny how people were saying that Showtime and PBC were broke, but they have one of the busiest schedules on the boxing landscape. Also, side note that I'm ready for the hate for, notice that Espinosa says the "Charlos," as in plural, that means Big Charlo is on his way back soon, and its going to be a lot of ass whoopings for some of your favorite fighters in a hot minute.

The problem is showtime ain't giving us fights we want.

That's a cute schedule but outside of davis vs Tank and plant vs benavidez which are ppv. Where are the real fights that actually matter?

These are undercard fights being presented as a big deal.

Let's cut the sh#t.

Admaes vs j rock?
fundora vs mendoza?


Really bro? This what we doing? We thanking Al for this? Showtime will always put on these level of fights.

We want broner vs maidana level fights. We want canelo vs trout level fights. We want Garcia vs Thurman level fights. The old haymon.

Not these cheap @$$ cards.

Man, I had DAZN, and cancelled after a year of those stale fights with maybe a good one every 2 or 3 months. At least these fights have boxers that are one step away from a championship fight, or fighters that I'm interested in seeing develop into the next primetime guys.

Dazn is definitely trash. But they are trash because they dont have fighters

Showtime has the fighters we wanna see and we still dont get top fights. Then we only see them once per year in a fight that we not asking for. To me thats even worse.

No one wanted PBC to fail, they were just giving fans crap after crap fights. They started out great then started to decline on quality fights.

Nah, there were ALOT of posters on here hoping and praying PBC would fail! I mean ALOT!!!

The way I see it, Showtime is the best. They have some really great fights. Considering how picky the champions and promoters are once they get a belt. Showtime does a pretty good job..

I just watched O'shaquie and Vargas 2 weeks ago, Matias and Ponce last week, this week its Figueroa and Magsayo, they're giving us something interesting almost every week and they haven't even got to the bigger names yet.

Splitting Showtime and Fox fights were a big mistake. Time to consolidate.

Well that's messed up. Some people are expecting DAZN to fail as well. Not sure if they want it to fail. But as long as the promoters give us good quality fights fans will watch.

Dude you're not going to get Hagler vs Hearns every week. These are good fights to help bridge the gap between the big fights. These type of fights have been happening since boxing was created. We live in a new world of boxing where Al can't rely on Mayweather vs whoever with 4 million PPV buys that pay for Garcia v Thurman and Canelo v Trout and AB v Chino every week. Calm down. We just had three decent weekend of fights in February. Now it looks like we will be getting a card every weekend up until June which will include one very good PPV and another MASSIVE PPV. Also getting a few TR cards too. Also heard that when the other fights are announced they may land on some daytime cards on CBS. Bye bye FOX. We hardly knew ye! Ummm, has anyone heard what's going on with the Dazn American Takeover. I haven't heard that loud mouth gut over here in a while.

The backlash is bearing some fruits. Part-time boxers will eventually get sick sitting around doing nothing. They'll take whatever offer just to get back in the ring. There are also cheap, inexpensive tuneups available, but don't expect to get $1 million each for such fights, or expect not to get bashed for taking easy fights.
