Jim Lampley of all people,rips Floyd a new one over abuse!

[ykdadamaja]

Wow. Some of that actually reads as though you could have posted it damaja, how dramatic!

Lampleys not going to say anything that isn't negative about Floyd since he left HBO, and also obviously wouldn't be saying this if he hadn't. He has also had a case or two of domestic violence against if, if I'm not mistaken. The guy is a phony cheerleader, he's creepy as fuck and doesn't actually know anything in my opinion.

Fighters who go all out to please the fans are the likes of Juanma Lopez and Brandon Rios. Some people are content to just watch elite guys go out and box, win to the best of their ability without inviting concussions their way. I hoped for a better fight in the Maidana rematch as well, and I don't like Floyd, but he is still a supreme boxer so I'm watching until that isn't the case or he chooses to retire. Anyone who thinks boxing is better served with him gone; works for a rival network to showtime, or is an idiot.

Everyone says everyone else knows nothing about boxing. It's becoming an overused statement of false fact.

Of course Jim is slamming the competition. Has little to do with Mayweather, but has a lot to do with Shwotime's use of Mayweather.

Mayweather was a dirty little prick before he left for Showtime. This we know. HBO tried to line up harder fights for him, but Showtime came to the rescue with that SuperBowl money they got from CBS and the rest is history...

He's angry that Floyd said the NFL overreacted in a case where a woman beater was cut from the team and suspended indefinitely. As a guy who was charged with beating a woman himself, would he have been OK with losing his HBO gig and being blackballed from the business? If he was fired, would he have not felt that HBO overreacted? Him, Floyd and Ray Rice are in the same boat.

Also, he says that Floyd pushes the boundaries of good taste to the point where most people wash their hands of him and want nothing to do with his fights... yet Floyd is the highest grosser in the history of boxing. The people he's putting off are obviously not the ones shelling out money for PPV and tickets.

It's funny that Floyd would say anything about the NFL and their handling of any matter when the NFL is the reason he was able to get the money from Showtime he wanted.

Floyd got his contract based on SuperBowl money... Showtime is a part of CBS.

Floyd has also been slamming the Nevada State Athletic commission as well, particularly with the events leading up to Maidana 2.

Floyd is biting the hands that fed him. But, what do we expect when we see what he done to DeLahoya with Schaeffer and Haymon.

Floyd's comments about the NFL situation were quite blizzard, he didn't say anything was wrong, just that other things were worse. It was not like he was speaking out against domestic violence, in a strange way he was minimizing it. That could have been crafted for ppv sales. I agree with what Lampley says to a point unless p4p is right when he says Lampley has domestic abuse in his past which continues the absurdity of the whole matter.

Let me explain this to you because so many seem uneducated about how television works. And what you say has absolutely nothing to do with how television works. So first you should ignore whoever is giving you the gibberish you spout.

Showtime neither makes large sums from PPV or loses large sums from PPV because their percentage of a PPV is so small. PPVs are nearly irrelevant. The next thing that is nearly irrelevant is ratings. Because it 's a subscription channel. What matters is subscriptions. Showtime doesn't need NFL CBS money. Look at the subscriptions!!! Showtime makes huge gains on HBO year after year. People don't get that the Mayweather deal has been a boon for Showtime because they don 't understand the f'n business model. People should not speak of what they don't know but this is the internet so you get morons speaking of ratings on a subscription channel(laughably stupid) or huge losses on a PPV(also laughably stupid). This is the way, everyone has an opinion and 99% of them don 't know what they are talking about.

Ron, Nielsen ratings matter not to Showtime but they do analyze them for comparison. Of course subscriptions are the main drive on a pay network. The one error you made was minimizing the importance of the ppv numbers to Showtime. It was a tremendous contract they gave Floyd and they rely on those ppv revenue. If it was strictly subscription issue they wouldn't need to put the fight on ppv which I actually think would be a good way to go. CBS has been in the financial crapper for a time, I haven't checked out their stock recently.

.... and Showtime's subscription sales was not enough to sign Floyd to the deal he got, right off of the rip. We all know it. They needed the SuperBowl money. It was a gamble, and it worked...

I said nothing about subscriptions. Neither did I mention that Showtime needs NFL/CBS money to compete with HBO. I'm SAYING, and it is quite evident, that the lucrative contract they gave to Floyd was as a result of the NFL/CBS money.

Floyd may have gotten a contract from Showtime, but not near as lucrative if it wasn't as a result of the SuperBowl boost that it gave Showtime and their ability to offer such a lucrative contract.
