    Showtime has a 20-25% smaller share, so 800k for showtime is the equivalent to 950k for HBo, Still not great #s. For Showtime to hit 1 million viewers it seems it needs to involve one on their headliners Ina competitive match up. If not the numbers aren't that great. But it doesn't seem the #s have been to good for showtime this year seems they had a better year last year.

      The numbers are down for HBO as well if I'm not mistaken.

        So Showtime overpays and gets lower ratings... That's the bankruptcy plan right there.

          Yes less viewers is a positive thing
          Yes it is indeed. If these pompous asses claim they are the best fight the best or take a pay cut. Again, unless you are younger than 40 which you probably are you don't remember the fight game in the 80s or 90s. It was for the love of the sport and the people that bought the seats. Period. Who cares how many cars Fraud has. Boycott them if they an't give us what we want. They aren't government employees.

            Only one person to blame for this nonsense, haymon

            Stevenson
            Guerrero
            Charlo

            All haymon

            Showtimes next event

            Guerrero
            Russell Jr.
            Alexander

            All haymon fighters, that event will "struggle in ratings" too. All these fights, fans never asked for, Showtime is paying for, makes no damn sense.

              It seems to me they have been making some bad business decisions. I think they're losing money.

              They'll soon be less willing to pay Golden Boy/Al Haymon's boxers those extravagant purses.

If HBO and Showtime keep shortchanging their viewers by manipulation of competitors I see a migration away from the sport or fans using alternative viewing methods that won't compliment HBO or Showtimes coffers of bloated purses for average fights.
                    Your right everybody payed to see Canelo when he fought Floyd. That's why his next fight did 350,000. STFU you don't know ****.

                      This is a fight SHO was forced to do to back up Haymon's bluff with HBO. They never thought HBO would reject it. Espinoza is a sucker.
