I remember when Showtime was consistently averaging 200-300K. They are slowly inching upward.

Espinoza has taken the network a long way. Apparently there's a press conference tomorrow in NYC about PBC's cards coming on Showtime. Dan Rafael posted it on Twitter earlier. Apparently they're announcing 10+ cards or something like that.

For a small period in 2013. They squandered that opportunity but they are getting back on track.

Considering there was a big UFC and free Bellator card and Showtime usually does crap numbers I don’t consider that too bad.

That was the free window period after the Mayweather deal. Those people weren't paying customers. I know, I was one of them. That's how Broner became popular.

Once that deal was up, the numbers went right back down to the number mentioned above.

That was before Showtime began allowing live streaming on their app, which isn't counted by Nielsen.
