Exactly. First card to kick off the series you'd expect to be good. UFC started off their Fox deal with a bang then it fizzled. I want to know what the middle and end is like before making any conclusions.

Yes it's like a date as well. You take a girl out to the best restaurant, give her chocolates and roses, horse carriage ride but then try to simply go to McDonalds (an
@CZAR
move) or the movies for the second day and it's a wrap. Lol.

Al-HaymonOn the eve of one of the most anticipated boxing related press conferences in recent memory, The New York Times’ Richard Sandomir is reporting on certain details revolving around Al Haymon’s deal with NBC Sports Group that will be officially announced tomorrow.
Most are aware of Haymon’s plans to hold his first card on March 7th, with Goosen Promotions as the likely promoter. NBC will have little say as Haymon has purchased the time on the network and will be responsible for the cards.
NBC will broadcast 20 shows: 5 of them on prime time NBC, 6 will be on NBC on Saturday afternoon, and the remaining 9 will be on NBCSN.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. will not be associated with the deal from a competition standpoint, although his promotional outfit could play host for Haymon.
It is rumored that Adrien Broner will headline the March 7th card. Other fighters reportedly set to headline the NBC shows are Robert Guerrero, John Molina, Danny Garcia, and Lamont Peterson.
In this buy-time arrangement, Haymon Boxing will reportedly pay around $20M annually to feature shows on NBC and NBCSN. Sandomir reports that NBC will produce the shows while Al Michaels will host the NBC prime time shows with “Sugar” Ray Leonard playing analyst for some of the cards.

Daaamn. Al Haymon really did screw over Showtime, basically admitted they just used them lol. Will be surprised if Espinoza doesn't get the ax immediately. Anyways, Danny Garcia vs Lamont Peterson April 11th on NBC, per his presser.

Espinoza about to call Bob Arum like, "hey old buddy! Long time no chat! So uhhh, we got some spots open!" lmao what a CLOWN getting played like a piano.
No for real though, Showtime is in trouble at least for the immediate future (unless they quickly open up the doors to all promoters). They just lost their Canadian deal which is actually a pretty big deal and the reason why it was lost was because of 2014 being so bad (they said no more Showtime because it wasn't putting on quality fights and the company that was airing Showtime in Canada said it wasn't fair to it's subscribers).
Haymon apparently also bought time on Spike TV (I have not fact checked this yet so don't quote me on that) so perhaps his plan is to use NBC for the bigger fights and Spike for the up & comers? I don't know and I still don't know where them will be coming from for the NBC deal to make a profit but if he found away more power to him. We've seen NBC deals in the past obviously but without nearly as good as a roster, so like I said before I HOPE he does well and doesn't blow it. This is boxing's ONE SHOT at primetime TV probably for a long time if he screws it up. You put Garcia and Broner on primetime, that should do well. So far we got two good fights announced. Consistency is key here.

Sam Watson clarified that NBC fighters are not exclusive to the network or PBC series. They can float to Showtime, PPV level, etc

It's cuz Haymon Boxing is not a promo company that works on it's own. They will use other promo companies in order for Haymon to stand a chance financially. But IF Floyd vs Manny does happen, we will see TR and GBP fights occur no matter what channel decides to show it. HBO will obviously show the KO type fighters, while Showtime will show the more technical fighters. It's even better for fighters like Rigo or Chocolatito as Showtime will pick them up. So since Floyd called Oscar a piece of shit for taking Canelo to HBO, I wonder what he thinks of Haymon?
Battle, why the fuck would he need other companies to stand the chance financially when he has VC funds?
What does FLOYD think of Haymon? He says Al Haymon is the best in boxing and has said other entertainers should do business with him. Wtf are you on today?
