Yall act like moving to streaming from TV in 2023 would be some death sentence. Cable TV steadily becoming a thing of the past.
i sure as hell dont feel that way...shyt ive been watching streamed fights since the days of realplayer on a 14.4K stream lol...but its going to be a major shift from how boxing has been televised in america should showtime pull out of the business

Most these dudes are detached from reality. I just looked and there are over 200 prime users. Paramount + (who owns showtime) has over 60 million. Dudes like like showtime was free OTA tv. Showtime is premium cable

Prime Video has the second most subscribers after Netflix. If Prime makes PBC part of the service like they have that MMA joint that comes on from time to time and not some extra PBC channel that we would have to subscribed to within the subscription, that would do wonders for them. That would put way more eyes on boxing than it currently has.

But PBC has to do a better job of scheduling the top tier talent, otherwise they will find themselves looking for another channel when that contract is done.

Wilder hasn't fought in a year. Thurman hasn't fought in nearly two years. Before the Crawford fight, Spence was out of the ring for 15 months. That's not good management of scheduling the best talent.

And everything doesn't have to be a damn PPV with these dudes. I think that's another part of the problem.

That's right. His last fight was against my man Spike O'Sullivan. I remember that fight.

That's ridiculous. How is that good business?
