    Canadians.... so much for Showtime for us

    We can't get showtime on any cable provider but we had "super channel" which showed showtime programing including the fights. But super channel said because of the lack of good fights it wasnt worth it and ended their supscription to showtime boxing.

    Any Canadians know of any other way to get Showtime fights besides online steaming?

      Well not word for word but heres what they have on their webpage...

      In the past year many of Showtime’s top boxing events have only been available through Pay-Per-View, and the number of Showtime Championship Boxing and ShoBox events available to Super Channel subscribers has greatly diminished. We feel this is not good value for our loyal subscribers and frustrating to many who have enjoyed those top events on Super Channel in the past.

        That's terrible, maybe they'll change their mind if they lose subscribers, I only had it for boxing so I wont be needing it anymore.

                Quebec is like on its own island in canada they might have something like a boxnation since they are so into boxing. But they wont have showtime, maybe something similar to boxnation though

                  I see, appreciate the info bro. I'm still considering a few other places like St. Albert... I'm taking the next few months to come to a decision. Showtime players a big part lol jk.

                    Espinoza might be on suicide watch. After putting on all those crap fights this past year, now Haymon takes those fighters and makes the good fights on a rival network. The quality of Showtime boxing might drop pretty low in 2015, good thing Al got their full budget from 2014.
