Showtime announced Tuesday morning that the premium-cable network will televise the Jorge Linares-Anthony Crolla rematch March 25 from Manchester, England.
Linares defeated England's Crolla by unanimous decision in an action-packed, 12-round fight September 24 to win the WBA world lightweight championship at Manchester Arena, the same site of their 12-round rematch.

Good. Build up a fight between the winner of this (most likely Linares) and the winner of Garcia vs Zlaticanin (most likely Garcia)

Ah **** is he?

Could well be mate. Showtime showing it seems to suggest they have some sort of end game involving Garcia/zlaticanin though. You would have thought anyway

I think it has more to do with their relationship with Hearn & Sky. If Crolla wins he'll fight the winner of Mikey and the guy whose name I can't spell

Showtime is out hustling HBO. Even though HBO actually has a overall solid schedule compared to last year, Showtime is just levels above them.

I do like this weekends card with Vargas, Berchelt, and Miura. But Showtime is making wise investments thus far early in the year.

HBO has to do more even though they have so far this year.
