Has Showtime over taken HBO as the boxing network?

[sicko]

I agree with other comment about them kicking HBO ASS in 2013 but 2014 ****** not because Al Haymon "WOULDN'T LET HIS FIGHTERS FIGHT OR STOPPED FIGHTS"...

NO RICHARD SCHAEFER! Who was responsible for giving us these LOADED CARDS and matching guys up with each other. People was talking about how they wanted him gone and all this crap but you found out in 2014 that what Schaefer was doing was GREAT FOR BUSINESS for both GBP and Showtime! 2014 we learned that Schaefer is needed in the sport!

HBO has more subscribers so I would expect their numbers to be better.

What would be cool is if Showtime's parent company, CBS Corporation started showing fights on CBS!


One can dream I guess.

wasn't the whole point of bringing floyd/haymon to get more subscribers? that obviously didn't work.

Schaefer was the CEO, not the GBP match maker. What great matches did Showtime put on that were not apart of the maxed out PPV cards in 2013? Where is this great year that you guys are all reporting as fact? Was it just the Canelo PPV? That is really all they can claim as being a success that year.

Schaefer and Eddie Gomez was holding things together GBP while Oscar was in rehab...AGAIN just before of Canelo vs Mayweather fight.

Based on the match ups they gave the fans in 2013, Showtime and GBP had a great year in 2013. They was the Promoters of a Record Breaking Boxing Event on top of giving the fans match ups like Danny Garcia vs Lucas Matthysse among other match ups.

So yes 2013 was a strong year for GBP and Showtime and YES 1 RECORD BREAKING EVENT is a major reason why!
