    Not really. It’s hardly delivering value for money putting Benavidez vs Andrade on PPV. Showtime are just squeezing what they can out the fans by putting fights like this on PPV.

      They may have allegedly gone out swinging.......but I already cancelled my SHOWTIME.

      I'll be watching this card at my local sports bar for $15.

          It shows how little they gave PBC for a budget.

                Hopefully neither. I want ESPN so PBC and TR can no longer claim sides of the skreet!

                  That would be an even better option if you put it that way.

                    I think this is the only boxing content on Saturday night, so I may end up ordering this and saying a fond farewell to Showtime's involvement in the sport.
