Because 1)Showtime and their relationship with Haymon still gives them the space to buy the fights that they want and 2) the final PBC deal will likely end up with Showtime/CBS anyway, with Showtime being the avenue to maximize the revenues on the biggest possible fights (no different than the UFC's deal with FOX, though I doubt Haymon angles for even 3 PPVs a year).
In case you missed it, Wilder, Danny Garcia, Adonis Stevenson, and Adrien Broner have all had fights outside of Showtime this year, with other bouts already being talked up for August/September and beyond.
