Showtime's ratings are still down from where they were this time last year, but the network continues to proceed with an aggressive schedule and big plans both short- and long-term for the future.

When the WBA announces that Golovkin/Jacobs need to fight, I don't even want to hear about Showtime. I think it's awesome we didn't get Kovalev/Stevenson b/c this turned to **** network.

W/Jack getting screwed by the w wbc judges (guess wbc & Sulaiman decided this was not important enuf 2 investigate, as no info 4 days past) this should garner more viewers vs DeGale...

those were two good fights. its a shame no one tuned in to see them but that is seems to be typical for showtime the past 12-18 months

If anything Jacobs will demand a cross promotion like chickenson. Despite the fact his fight with quillin only did 300k. Showtime will also want/need it for the ratings

Earnings per share (EPS) was more than $1 for the quarter

Espinoza just said that last week when asked about Golovkin.

[i'm a fun haver]

Golovkin needs to go up and fight these guys so people will actually watch them fight lol

Showtime just did 300k on sat and the Spike fight on PBC with Dirrell did 513K viewers on Fri. Combined only 800K viewers which is about 500K less then GGG's fight 2 weeks ago, 1.3m viewers, on HBO by itself.

Not sure what the point was of taking your fighters to PBC all it did was cripple Showtime ratings. Showtime cards were avg close to 1m viewers before PBC.
