So many low key classics on Showtime back in the day.thats a damn shame..all those classic real nikka fights i watched on showtime going back to the 90s and shyt
HBO and Showtime have far too many classic fights for it to sit in its archives...i would gladly pay a pretty penny for a streaming service
End of an era
Big opportunity for DAZN if they can pull it off, but DAZN getting PBC would be bad for the sport as a whole IMO

its either or for me...i have both prime and dazn...prime would be ideal...dazn would be simply for the fact to see mr potato head juelz on streaming services...well they are both streaming services so either way he would look dumb if al cant find an actual TV network for it
DAZN getting PBC would make a lot of people look stupid..like mfrs thinking spence would beat crawford levels...i like my fukkery

The most rampant rumor in boxing was confirmed Tuesday, when it was revealed that Showtime will no longer broadcast the sport after 2023.
BoxingScene.com has confirmed that Paramount Global, the parent company of Showtime and BoxingScene.com, will eliminate Showtime Sports as a department at the end of this year. The premium cable network has televised boxing since 1986 and has remained one of the sport’s most prominent platforms for nearly four decades.
Sports Business Journal first reported the news Tuesday afternoon.
Paramount Global’s decision was based on the company focusing exclusively on scripted programming moving forward and eliminating budgets previously allocated for live sports. The positions of approximately 40 employees in Showtime Sports will be eliminated after December 29.
The network has two more boxing telecasts scheduled for November 25 and December 9.
The November 25 pay-per-view show will be headlined by super middleweights David Benavidez and Demetrius Andrade at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino’s Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas. The fights and site for the December 9 show have not been determined.

Damn so that only leaves DAZN and ESPN to run PPVs right? Or does ESPN not even do PPV.
my favorite fight of all time aired on this channel...this is a big loss to boxing as a whole..the last of the dying breed
RIP Chico

DAZN works for people like you and me. Cats that are watching every weekend. Prime could be a huge plus in reaching the casuals.
I think the last thing boxing needs is another wall keeping it isolated from other sports and preventing the casual watcher from being able to access it, people have been talking for 10+ years about growing the sport but now this is a pivotal chance to do that, and yet they are considering DAZN...shyt makes no sense
