PBC leaving Showtime

[tomhawq]

Rick Glaser broke the news first - give that man credit.

Which one, PBC leaving Showtime or PBC leaving Showtime and joining DAZN?

The first one is not hard to believe as news of Showtime getting sacked has been out there for a while now, therefore PBC don't have much choice.

[HeadShots]

PBC is just running itself and boxing into the ground.

who are these brain dead morons running this org?

When did be break the news? In 2018?

11 days ago I think.

The best business move for North and South American boxing would be to join forces at ESPN. That would be the best for the fans. Unfortunately, ESPN has too many sports to put money in before a dollar reaches boxing. It’s either going to be a an unexpected shocking network. Otherwise, DAZN would be the second best. US vs the UK every other weekend lol.

There's a lot of rumours ESPN will be out the boxing business too when Top Ranks contract comes to an end.

DAZN are the only ones willing to pump money into the sport at this point.

Maybe Amazon Prime Video will take them on. They're already doing ONE Championship events. Adding a recognizeable boxing brand might be in their interests.

Amazon Prime has been buying media content like crazy. They're not even bidding. They buy them in astronomical price.

PBC might want to get a piece of Amazon's infinite amount of money. All it takes is Haymon's sweet tongue.

as long as its all ppv im happy. i love ppv

HUGE LOL is PBC goes to DAZN.

Hoping they don't go to woke ESPN. More Latino, Asian and white fighters will get unfavorable decisions if that happens. I mean PBC already has a protection plan for their fighters, imagine the Disney machine to also back them.

Right, we all know Canelo, De La Hoya, and Chavez never got favorable decisions

[PBR Streetgang]

So it sounds like Showtime Championship Boxing and ShoBox are done after 2023. Showtime PPV will be around in limited aspect for 2024.

I imagine PBC is courting the services of Amazon, I have to imagine wherever the go...it will be in the OTT streaming format and not a cable broadcaster.

DAZN should have let the Haymon/PBC ship sink and then picked up the best talent for themselves.

Haymon is good at losing other people’s money.
