It's only going to get worse for Showtime. I know hardcore boxing fans who subscribed to Showtime 2 years ago when they made that major power play with Haymon. Damn near all have canceled their subscription now. They got one more fight with Mayweather and other then that they got nobody signed to a contract and Haymon is only throwing garbage fights to showtime like the Wilder Molina fight. When Wilder is ready for a real fight it will be on Network TV not Showtime. HBO saw Haymon's BS a mile away and cut ties with him years ago so they saw no impact to their business when he went to PBC. Meanwhile Showtime boxing is now on life support because they sold their soul to try and compete with HBO. And they did or a year or 2 but now they are worse off then they were before the Haymon alliance. PBC has turned Showtime into the replacement for ESPN Friday Night Fights.
I doubt Showtime cares. They made an investment and got a ridiculous return. Probably wise they get out now.
