Boxing Insider: Ultimatum Served By CBS Boss Moonves to Espinoza, Haymon to Make Mayweather-Pacquiao A Reality - International Business Times
Haymon is effectively banned from HBO. There is no other American national PPV TV providers. Going to NBC or Fox is a no-go for revenue. So, this will happen.
Moonves also threatens Espinoza's job, in addition to threatening to cut Haymon off if this fight does not take place between Floyd and Manny.
This will happen.
That's the second place I read that Haymon has paid $24 million for 24 dates on NBC and NBC Sports. Even if that works out for him it's not enough to keep 150 fighters happy. He's going to have to do a deal with Showtime.
The biggest problem is the contract Showtime signed with Mayweather which appears to give Mayweather final say on his opponents. Espinoza was probably the guy responsible for agreeing to that. It could easily come back to bite him now.
that's his problem now.... lolol.... I would sacrifice one mega fight just to make sure this garbage Haymon is pulling off doesn't happen all the time.Quote:

It was all under Espinoza's watch. I think there's extra pressure on Espinoza to make the Pacquiao fight with Mayweather as a result.
