SHO subscribers up to 23mill, HBO drops to 28.7mill

I wonder what the pac--turds opinion would be if Manny was on showtime..

I don't understand why people get so emotional and defensive about this. Yeah in my opinion HBO's production level is better than Showtime's. At the end of the day though does that matter? No. Obviously. I watch for the boxing and I'd watch it on the f**king Lifetime channel if that's where the fight was at. And do I have anything against Showtime? Some sort of fan boy agenda? No, I don't. I mean Jesus Christ I have a Showtime subscription at this household, lmfao.

Showtime in recent memory has had a big edge in better fights and more entertaining boxers. There's no doubt. But if one dare says a word about the production level of one of the networks, then they're a network fan boy with an agenda or they're gay.

Come on now.

I disagree. Despite best intentions Showtime hasn't had many FOTY candidates this year: Figueroa Arakawa and Lara Angulo, both fringe FOTY candidates, both posting a pathetic 500k viewers each.

Even schedule wise their year is highly overrated. Canelo Trout (not a great fight, nice on paper) was on April 30th. They had jack **** in the 4 months prior. And jack **** since Floyd Canelo, when the schedule is usually packed.

Showtime has been killing it with some stacked cards. I hope they continue to have success and win more subscribers, that just means more boxing on tv for us.

Don't get why the Pac tards are upset about this. It's good news.

Great news for Showtime I have both networks as a boxing fan you have to have both. If you don't your just a f**King cheapskate.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

this has to be one of the most pointless threads ever,,


who the hell cares about the subscriptions, what if it has something to do with no more sopranos on HBO and showtime has Homeland,,

Like really,,, who cares

[Mike D]

what if it has something to do with no more sopranos on HBO and showtime has Homeland,,

Lmao true that. It honestly has zero to do with boxing. **** 90% of HBO & Sho subscribers probably don't even f**king know that either network has boxing on it. They have them for their shows and movies.

If these is a reliable source, the gap is closing and the battle between these two networks giants should increase in the coming years.

Showtime increased from 14mill to 23mill meanwhile HBO drops from 32mill to 28.7mill. What are you guys is thoughts?

bleacher report and reliable source dont go together

I already broke this down months ago, when people were saying Time Warner wouldn't cave to CBS.

Trust me, HBO's large gap in subscriptions has almost nothing to do with Boxing. HBO just has much better shows. Game Of Thrones ALONE is worth an HBO subscription.
