    Comments Thread For: Showtime 2013: Reshaping The Game

    By Jake Donovan - How big were the past 12 months for Showtime?

    The premium cable outlet was voted by the staff of this very website as the top boxing network of 2012, and still managed to far exceed expectations set forth for this year.

    It was the year that the network claimed the sport’s biggest star and dominated the pay-per-view market.

    It was the year that the network had the competition sweating, its own actions prompting others to desperately step up its game.

    It was the year that fight fans were given more than one choice to satisfy its boxing hunger.

    It was a year that forever shook up the power structure.

    That said, let’s take a look at everything Showtime did right in 2013… and also what it could have done better. [Click Here To Read More]

      Not sure what you mean in your Letting its product speak for itself section. In what way was HBO having media remind people of their product anymore than Showtime?

        He's talking about all the press releases HBO has been sending out about ratings and how much higher/better they are compared to SHO.

        Great stuff again Jake.

          Didn't read the article, but "reshaping the game"? Are you ****ing me? They're doing a very good job and have certainly raised their level of product, but they're not "changing the game".

              Showtime can't produce a Mayweather Jr vs Alvarez hype again.

                What other possible fights can get that much hype again, minus the one fight that will never happen??

                Showtime better get Canelo on track this year, he's easily the second most marketable fighter they have under contract.
