    HBO not doing fights with GBP anymore is worse for them

    Showtime will never "win" against HBO over the long-term if they don't show live fights... LIVE for west coast cable subscribers. I'm out here living on the west coast and in order for me to watch a fight live on showtime I have to stream it on the internet. I'm sure that is what everyone does on the west coast because they can't get it live. That is a huge loss in subscription numbers and it sucks for GBP.

      No HD east is a problem for those on the west that happen to get live fights.

                      What? I'm in Cali and get like 6 different Showtime channels on DishNetwork. All the fights I've watched have been live, it's not the same for all service providers?

                              Showtime subscription is not a common thing to many people. All I have is HBO. If fans get lucky, Showtime might show it for free or with ads like the Cotto/Trout.

                                  GBP has the roster in the divisions that matter. So Showtime will be fine. They could have Super Six tournaments in 140 thru 154 because they have those divisions on lock. HBO will have nothing but a bunch of recycled fights.
