Comments Thread For: Showtime To Go Dark For The Month of October

Looks like they might end this year with 500k as their highest rating.

I think the Lara/Charlos card had like 750k. Wonder why no one watches boxing on showtime.

I mean if Garcia does fight why not Thurman get that out of way now.

Ok I thought you meant that the mandatory would prevent the Garcia fight.

If Swift isn't fighting next month they need to just go straight to the Thurman fight *** these tuneups!

That's what I'm saying, some of these fighters be killing me talking about they need a tune-up! Once you become a so called world class fighter, tune-ups are over with!

That was sub 500k as well

You banked your entire network on a guy who milked 30+ mil out of you for a Berto fight. Haymon's PBC is better than Showtime.

Showtime should just give up boxing and turn to the UFC. Try to outbid FoxSports1 for the UFC - oh wait, I forgot, the UFC handles its own pay-per-views... guess Showtime will have to be beg Haymon to give them a few fights too...

Not much of a surprise...Pugmire had already reported Schaefer couldn't get the deal together for the Oct. 15th show.

But it looks something will get done soon for late this year or early next.

This is why HBO stop doing business with Haymon/Floyd/Schaefer! Fighters are asking for a ton of money for TBA fights. At least HBO got out before Haymon starting making his move. Its hard to get Haymon fighters t fight each other. All those guys claim to be willing to fight anyone but Porter seems to be the only one to follow through. Its not like Haymon has been putting on huge shows! You would think it would be easier with the stable he has. Terrible!!

Only greedy boy Floyd made money, not Showtime.

Danny Garcia is still a thing?
