GB would be smart to work with both HBO and ST, and have them bidding against each other,
rather than burn bridges with one or the other. obviously haymon has burned his bridges
and will not manage any hbo fighters.

Mayweather is out of action until May 2015 and next September he'll be done, so Stephen Espinoza at Showtime has to be gripping over the fact that a couple of ESPN-worthy shows from Warriors Boxing is the best thing they could come up with to fill in for GBP.
With rumors also circulating that Shobox might be cancelled, Showtime boxing could soon be "circling the drain".
Sounds like wishful thinking imo by someone that strongly favors the boxers currently signed with HBO. Get real. There are many, many, quality boxers that will fight on Showtime, and will continue to do so.

They aren't completely done, but their status as a serious challenger to HBO's dominance has taken a hit.
... and to think, if Oscar had stayed away for another year, Showtime may have been running boxing.

Stephen Espinoza @StephenEspinoza ยท Sep 25
Repeat: this couldn't be more wrong. No truth whatsoever. "@RickGlser1: Espinoza has dropped the excellent ShoBox series. RIP ShoBox 2001-14
