    Showtime/PBC being axed by year end?

    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.

        Everywhere I look it's says paramount(parent company of showtime)will have no more boxing after 2023.

        Wonder if pbc will stick to only ppv from here on out hence the deal with canelo?

          Probably won't matter much. Most of their fighters are fighting once a year, anyways.
          I'll be curious to know where all these part-time boxers will end up in if it happens.

              Wonder if pbc will look for another network or just call it a day after the canelo deal.

                basixally how it’s been for a few years now. PBC has been using the 90’s WWF model of having easy “squash matches” on television and not having their guys face each other except for PPV

                  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.
