It's official: Showtime will carry Pascal-Hopkins on Dec. 18. It won't be on PPV
Nice
Wonder what that means for the Morales and Paulie fights? |

| Fuck yeah, that's why I pay them every month. I don't watch movies or any Shows on their programs. I only watch Boxing, that the only reason I have a subscription with them. Same thing HBO. |

| At least Showtime has some integrity and took this garbage fight off of PPV. I wish I could say the same for HBO.
This is a fight that shouldn't even be happening, let alone being on PPV. Good job Showtime... |

Good deal, because there was no way I was even going to try to watch this shit PPV on a live stream, since it's on Showtime, i'm sure i'll watch it, but remember, Hop will turn this into a snoozer, so don't expect a good fight. |

| Nice Showtime or the promoters came to their senses.
BTW pay per views are usually the idea from promoters as they can make more money off them. |

They are also the result of a network using up all it's money for a certain sport, and a PPV is the only way to pay for the event.
Time and time again, HBO blows it's budget before the year is out, and usually on crappy fights... |
