GBP's only selling point to their stable is that if you fight for scraps on Showtime, you might win the Floyd lottery.

It's not like one network is going to put the other out of business and vice versa.
The average boxing fan probably doesn't even know who "promoters" each event. They just know it's on HBO or Showtime.

HBO maybe be a bit bigger than Showtime but Time Wanrer isn't much bigger than CBS and when comparing just broadcasting arms CBS is probably bigger and with more invested into sports.
HBO is what it is, but that is the only outlet which Time Warner will ever show boxing on except maybe that regional sports network in LA, CBS on the other hand has Showtime, CBS and CBS Sports Network which could all show boxing on a national level.
How it looks to me is HBO boxing has peaked while Showtime boxing still has room to grow

It would be interesting to see where it has gone since then, it would be hard to believe the trend has changed but it would be nice to see where they are really.
