For my part - good riddance! They have been hundreds of miles lower than what HBO was and when you live on the east coast and have children, sometimes you need to buy a fight and watch it in the morning. Not being able to record it and not showing it on the regular network like HBO did a week later makes it so either your Sunday is ruined or you just don't watch the fight.

An end of an era. My reason for having HBO was boxing. After they ended their boxing run, I cancelled my HBO subscription. My reason for having SHOWTIME was boxing. Now that they're ending their boxing run, I'll be cancelling my SHOWTIME subscription.

Even the US Spanish stations used to play a lot of boxing and that has been suspended for years.
DANZ was good until it wasn't because they did not keep their initial commitment.
Hopefully something better comes off of this.

If Amazon is getting into boxing, I hope they learn from HBO and Showtime mistakes.
Don’t work with any exclusive promoter and only pay for the fights that fans want and not the BS that takes place years after the expiration date.
If they give PBC an exclusive, they will go down just like HBO and Showtime. DAZN is next. Matchroom has F**ked their paymaster royally.
Din King was blackballed by HBO and Showtime and Arum has 1.5 feet in the grave. Needless to say the pompous POS like Jacobs and Moretti they have on board.
The YouTubers have taken over the sport, Canelo is on his last leg, and Showtime allowed Haymon to put on many fighters that nobody gives a sheet about. Fighters that do nothing to help promote themselves like Crawford or Cuban fighters tied to DeCubas that hardly speak English and bring no fans to the sport
The sanctioning bodies are all on the take, and judging in the sport is likely fixed. Promoters pay the ref and judges and people wonder why the sport is so corrupt.
Amazon, if you’re listening, you can succeed if you clean up the sheet that’s been going on you so many years. Harmon is not the answer.landotter likes this.
