    Any Canadians know of any other way to get Showtime fights besides online steaming?
    I can't believe we can't watch any Showtime in Canada anymore. The SHO app would be a solution but I can't register because I am not in the US. I e-mailed Showtime asking how a Canadian can legally pay them and they responded with:
    The international distribution rights to Showtime Sports events are generally retained by the event's promoter, not Showtime. You may want to contact them directly regarding the airing of this event in your country.
    Showtime *******s are hard to find unless its a PPV, and paying Showtime through a family member in the US then using an IP rerouter is weak because it costs money and is still illegal.
    Anybody know a way/place to find links without finding out the results first? If I find something I will let you guys know

        Watch great shows, movies and series on Super Channel.


        That's why I've dropped my Super Channel bundles months ago. Even then, not every boxing-related shows were shown like Access. So we have no choice now but to look for streaming subscriptions. Boxing seems not so popular here. We only got HBO now (in our household).

          This sucks, I was really looking forward to the wilder fight this weekend. Hopefully tsn or sportsnet will pick up the good fights like they used to. Not sure how I'm going to watch this fight now streams don't work well on tablets.

            I'm looking for pay per view streaming services with good quality streams. I don't like monthly subscriptions. If you guys found one, let me know.

                Kurupt1019 is right, I just checked and the Wilder/Steverne fight is on TSN2 live so it looks like we are all good!

                    I think thats whats happening, showtime fights will be on some form of tsn, and i expect a bounce back year from showtime even with the nbc announcement, unless the reltionship between haymon and stephen is soured (which i dont think it is). You dont just ruin a relationship with showtimes budget which is mostly allocated to al.
