    So is Showtime done with boxing?

    Or even MMA for that matter? There boxing lineup is pretty stale, and you just don't hear much from them anymore. I'm about to cancel my subscription to them because what else is Showtime good for? A whole lot of ****ty B movies that look like a kid with his home camera shot? Seriously, without boxing, Showtime means nothing to me. Starz or Cinemax for movies baby! HBO ain't too shabby neither.

      It is pretty odd, they let ESPN get the vitali fight and weird direct to PPV for the Khan and Jones fights.

      Why is showtime letting all those fights slip by them like that?


      With PBF and Hopkins fighting over the same July date with HBO, Showtime should be getting off their asses and trying to court one of them to get them on showtime. It wouldnt even have to be the same night but like the next week after so it wouldnt be directly competing.

        Showtime is looking bad because HBO have stepped up so dramatically. Never the less they have arguably next month’s two most intriguing fights.

                Showtime have some good fights but not with the same frequency as HBO and obviously not same big name fighters tied to them due to their budget.
                I myself made it easy, I don't subscribe to any TV station, I stream everything
