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

[Punch on Tap]

Fuck DAZN! They raised their price earlier this year from $99/yr to $239, with their current lackluster fights. What will they charge if they get premium fights like Showtime aired?

You’re right! And I cancelled my DAZN subscription. But if they absorb Showtime boxers, promoters, and producers, I’ll be right there again.

That's what happens when you keep feeding the public the same garbage over and over, the same PBC fighters fighting each other, no caucasian fighters, hardly any Boricuas, just african americans and Cubans, CBS, FOX, SHO they all ran away from Al pushing that SOS down their throat.

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!!

The only good thing about all this, to me, is i don't have to hear used-car-salesman-type Mauro Ranallo anymore. hes still trying to sell the fight as it happens.

And, i just read he signed a deal with WWE. That's a better fit for him. haha

Damn! First HBO, now Showtime⦠man the best memories I have of boxing are from these 2. This bites A$$!

Once Haymon was in charge of setting up mismatches HBO and now Showtime left boxing

Espn has boxing on their platform but they're not interested in putting the biggest boxing promotional company on their network. 10-4

They already worked with Haymon before and it was a disaster.

Al bernstein is as good as it gets and steve farwood has good insight. not sure if they get hired again on a new platform.

The only upside to SHO was seeing the PPV fights the week after for free. Otherwise, their network fights were scarce and often times mismatches. The demand for boxing isn't what it was a decade or more prior.

Al Haymon's PBC is in talks with amazon prime. The man can't be stopped
