US Television for Joshua vs. Parker

[Pandur]

Showtime has the option to match any offer than any other TV network makes.
But this Sunday it will have been 3 weeks since the fight was announced.

I'm starting to think that maybe it is not a given that Showtime gets the fight.

Who knows, HBO might have made a huge bid for the might?

I think the Joshua-Klit fight didn't even have a US network until like 2 weeks out. Doubt HBO makes a push this time and Showtime will pick it up.

Thats was because Klitschko had an deal with HBO and Joshua with Showtime.

When Joshua vs. Pulev was done it was like 10 days and Showtime had the rights for the fight.

HBO really don't have a big stable anymore. It would be foolish for them not to bid for the fight.

Unless they are getting out of boxing.

I dont care what network shows it because it will be easily viewable regardless.

I think Showtime has the bigger boxing budget now.

Showtime's nut is Wilder-Joshua for the undisputed heavyweight championship; outside of HBO doing something silly, like putting up $10m for the US rights to Joshua-Parker (which Showtime/CBS likely still considers eating the L on), the fight will end up on Showtime.

No idea what the hangup is about, but the deal will likely get done

Wilder-Ortiz is going to be shown here live on skysports, they are building that fight to happen here. Like I have said previously if both Joshua and Wilder win their fights then there is more chance of their match up happening in the UK- Moneywise as American networks aren’t prepared to spend a lot.

I dont know if they have the bigger boxing budget. But they sure have spend a lot of money for the upcoming fights, compared to HBO.

Thats why HBO have more money to spend now. Because they dont have spend any.

Yeah HBO would have to put up a crazy bid to secure the fight.

Yeah just like the Joshua vs. Klitschko the US TV didn't get settle like 7 days before the fight.
Don't think US TV will be an obstacle like it was for the Lewis vs. Tyson fight.
