Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Hopes To Continue Working With Mayweather

Meanwhile, Showtime will keep on struggling. If they had their way all their boxing events would be on PPV, which is the exact opposite at HBO. It's financial strain for Showtime to make fights like Thurman vs Guerrero, for instance. Fighters want high pay for high risk fights, which SHO can't afford. That's why we'll probably never see these Haymon fighters fight each other except on PPV main or undercards.

This is right on the money.

Now that Porter has become a name expect him to fight even more infrequently just like the rest of them.

He was moving to showtime because HBO were choosing bigger fights over these showcase fights that's why.

But you're right it really doesn't matter about TR since TR isn't the be all end all, so why is it a bad thing Oscar gets fighters fights with other promotional companies on HBO again?

The only fight that got chosen over another was Canelo/Lopez vs Martinez/Chavez jr. That had nothing to do with Haymon. All the Haymon fighters were gone by the ( except broner).

Porter is a name, but not a big enough one that you want to build up his fights. Him and Thurman are equals in name terms, not like say him and Broner.

Oscar should be able to put on shows, but if he some how finds a way to build a star, then decide that star should primarily be on HBO, GB will then be cut
