Showtime had better matchups. I know you will defend hbo to the end. But that was an awful card they put out

I don't defend networks, mah dude. Acting like you know me. **** off why don't you? I said it was a **** match up and I said I would not watch and I didn't. I actually watched Mares vs Cuellar. Me mocking Showtime has nothing to do with 'defending'.

How does Haymon and Espinoza defend spending all that money on these fights while putting up espn numbers. And this is with the help on PBC supposedly supporting these fighters.

Ths has been going on for over a year, Showtimes ratings have completely plummeted.

2 idiots with 0 understanding of media. Time for showtime to move on from them.

HBO and Showtime need to go away.

Terence Crawford's domination of John Molina Jr. was the most-watched of six bouts broadcast by HBO and Showtime on Saturday, either live or on delay.

Posters should expect this number to be less than usual as it was head to head with another card. It was still the most watched fight of the night.

And the competing main event - Cuellar vs Mares - did less than half as many

It's still pretty much the same million or so people watching the fights but some of them decided to watch the other fight.

I'd love to know what the numbers comparison looks like on nights where there are not fights on opposing networks or UFC and belabor matches the same night... Those might be real numbers that determine how well or poor the sport is doing...

Either Crawford is a lot more popular than I thought, or a lot of people just don't have a subscription to Showtime. Showtime definitely had the better fights top to bottom. Maybe this news will help TC get the Pacquiao fight!

HBO doubled Showtimes viewership.

Really? What were the numbers for showtime? You'd think they would have gotten the better numbers since they had the better card
