Showtime/PBC being axed by year end?

Yup.......if this was dazn or toprank you would be hammering them and posting stuff like PBC got stuff locked down now. You would be making so much fun of Eddie and Bob and you know it. Lol

Don't know exactly what this means. What if PBC does every fight on PPV? It was just a rumor at the time. Not sure if that's true but I would guess they would only show big events. Also heard there are ongoing talks with Amazon. Who knows what will happen.

I thought they signed a 2 year deal last year that would extend for the entire year of 2024. The crazy thing is dazn has been losing money and they might be out of boxing soon. If they fall where does boxing even go?

They're saying Showtime will be out of boxing aside from PPV. I think Canelo will spend 2024 with Showtime. Don't know exactly what this means. What if PBC does every fight on PPV?

pbc fighters fighting on free tv :boxing: that's what you all get for copying floyd lol

I think by the way. Al is doing a deal with UFC and Endeavor. The WWE, UFC and PBC will all be one 1 sports app now.

Too many weight classes too many belts. Get rid of a bunch of weight classes and go to 1 belt. Problem solved.

This has been talked about last year with Paramount taking over the reins. There's no doubt their priorities are not boxing-related.

Quite sad if Showtime (CBS) get out of the game Chitty actually

Wheres that 1 poster MotorCity Cobra? He knew all of PBCs bizzness.

I doubt the PBC brand will dissolve. They have too many fighters under their umbrella. I can see them aligning with another network, like Golden Boy did with DAZN.

It's interesting that our beloved BoxingScene won't even mention it. If this was happening with DAZN we'd be getting at least an article per day. btw, does this mean that CBC/Paramount will no longer have the incentive to continue ownership of BoxingBcene? Maybe BS is waiting for an official word, rather than speculate on a rumor.

Is the rumor true that showtime boxing will be no more? And if so what happens to pbc could this be the reason for them finally putting together all these big fights in 2023. Maybe but no real sources. There are some twitter claims from people like glaser or some guy called raf but ive seen them 2 right plenty of shit that never turned out to be true so i don't see them 2 as legit sources as a lot of others do

Canelo has options like Crawford and Benavidez who can make fans wet. How do hell he will fight with them without PPV? ​​​Is Showtime becoming DAZN's pre-Canelo-Bivol version? Only subscription? Showtime won’t doing anymore regular Showtime cards or Shobox, they’ll still do PPVs, likely for Canelo fights.

Problems were originally competitors, more came on the block initially and began overpaying fighters instead of giving them decent money to try to become that main star they then won’t fight for anything less than the overpaid money and now to afford fighters and what should be normal tv fights. Everyone had to overpay and eventually everyone will leave Whatever happened to nominal pay days and then if they become a star, they could make the big money on ppv ? fighters simply don’t fight enough on regular tv anymore, most guys should be fighting 4 times per year easy to gain that public attraction before if they are successful becoming a ppv star instead to get boxers on their platforms, promoters overpaid them to fight bums for 4-5m per fight, then the promoter charged networks a high fee and so on and because of this fighters are not fighting much either hopefully this resets boxers, most good boxers should be getting 1m unless they are ppv stars imo earn your way up dazn should reset boxing if they can, start paying fighters less and get them to fight more often

remember when pbc heads were saying thank you al haymon for saving boxing and brining us free boxing lmao. now every single fight will be ppv if they even continue to have fights Exactly, what happened to free boxing on TV? Al Haymon's dumbass doesn't know what the hell is doing, I mean look what happened to Jay-Z's roc nation sports, 50 cents' SMS, and all the other dummies trying to dip their hand in boxing, all went the way of the dodo. So much for the takeover. Where's the innovation, the new and fresh ideas? Throwing money at it isn't going to fix the problem. It's like what Larry Merchant said, " nothing will kill or save boxing."

They've been saying this forever. We'll see. If DAZN can somehow afford to bring on PBC, then they'll have the defacto-monopoly on the sport that everyone has been fighting for since HBO died.

It's a matter of time. Fighters are being paid way too much who don't sell. Showtime is bleeding money. Espn will be last man standing.

Rumors say that Showtime will leave boxing after end of 2023. Canelo's second fight will be in 2024. Possibly May. Canelo can fight at DAZN again under PBC. There is no mainstream network except DAZN and Showtime on the planet. ESPN would be huge downward. They're saying Showtime will be out of boxing aside from PPV. I think Canelo will spend 2024 with Showtime.
