All fighting it out on shobox...

Back when Showtime used to have 1 championship fight card the first week of the month then scatter Shobox throughout the rest.

It's harder to always have good cards when you air so many more some are just going to be duds but that seems to be Hershmans preference more selective as opposed to airing anything.

Showtime does not demand the same quality matchup and opponents as HBO. Most of their fights are to showcase a star against a picked but not to dangerous opponent. It is the main reason some fighters have left HBO and the money they pay.. Hopefully they learn fans are interested in competitive matchups more than they are in just name stars padding their record.

Showtime just announced a card for nov 1st, the fortuna and fonfara card..

Seems obvious there's no huge fight coming these last two months of the year. Otherwise, they would have been announced weeks ago. Most of the blue chip fighters are now averaging two fights a year.
