Comments Thread For: Paramount Global To Shut Down Showtime Sports; Network Will No Longer Broadcast Boxing

[Oldskoolg]

This is terrible news for true boxing fans. I wonder what's going to happen to all those Wakanda/ Ldbc YouTube channels? Will they start to cover the sport or will they disappear?

Why not be ballsy and just call them the n word? That’s clearly what you want to do since you seem to spend a lot of time obsessing with black guys on YouTube

Well the rumors turned out to be true huh, but dont worry fellas boxing isn't dying and will not cease to exist at all, paramount just doing some reallocation of budget and resources to keep up with amazon, netflix, HBO and all the rest of the competition in the race for new subscribers and viewership of
series,movies and all that mainstream content. Boxing is not monopolized like the UFC we all know this and that mainly the reason has become lesser and less popular compared to other sports(the matchmaking in other words).

Nevertheless, Both amazon and ESPN probably seeing this as an business opportunity with PBC. But this should def put boxing promotions in check and obliged them to work with each other more often to deliver more quality fights going forward.

WTF are you talking about? Nobody is getting more of a push than Caleb, Vito and Joey Spencer. LSC named his son after Al. Issac Cruz is getting primed for his second PPV. I swear ya just say anything!!

Mate, never expect a white supremacist to drink from the well of logic…

Can you imagine it? Pbc on Amazon? It makes sense actually, but I am hoping pbc goes to ESPN. Top rank and pbc would all but result in a monopoly of American boxing on one network, DLH will har to jump ship or lose his fighters

Farewell to Showtime Boxing They gave us some great times and some great fights

Dang.......

It all depends on Jeff Bezos. If he's a boxing fan, then Amazon will show fights. Just like the SciFi show The Expanse. It was canceled on SyFy, Bezos liked the show so Amazon picked it up.

I'll give Jeff a call.

Roger that mate, work your charm for the good of the sport

The funny thing is these clowns are so jubilant that Showtime is shutting down they think the PBC is shutting down too. You fools PBC is doing fine. They just put three 100+ million dollar cards on their resume this year so they could show Amazon that this is what they can do if they want to do business. It's going to be so funny when they change the name to PRIME BOXING CHAMPIONS and you guys are going to be renewing your yearly 250$ Dazn subs with all their PPVs. Can't wait until Ryan and Shakur move over with Al next year. You guys are going to shyte on yourselves!!

You know what I've been saying this for years but I just saw a video about the devastating effects of cord cutting and they maybe be getting out of boxing too. Maybe Al and Bob should team up and go to Amazon. There are about 5 years of great fights between 118-140 if the two were to link up. And yes ODLH will have to jump ship fo' sho!!

What was the tipping point? We can all learn
