    Without knowing whats going on behind the scenes I think Showtime's problem was they didn't have anything to fill the void when PBC came to be. Maybe that was something agreed upon with Haymon. Maybe Showtime's budget was so spent on Floyd they couldn't air any boxing for a minute. But not having a product or much of one to show is gonna have people thinking Showtime doesn't even have boxing anymore. Thats Showtime's fault not Haymon's.

        And wasn't it being broadcasted on Box Nation too? I'm sure the Brits were all over that fight

            Damn. I wonder why the ratings were so low then

                It's not as terrible as it seems, because of the time slot. But it's pretty bad for Showtime and Espinoza, who was just saying they want to lock Joshua in for good. Joshua's people would have to be ******ed to sign that deal, with numbers like these

                    I'm guessing it's because nobody can stand staring at Paulies plucked eyebrows anymore?

                                Two unknown fighters, at least in the US on an early evening broadcast? Why am I not surprised?

                                Showtime is currently in the process of negotiating a lifetime deal with Joshua so they must feel he has a lot of financial upside..

                                    More than the Whyte fight which was 450k.
