Congratulations to the highest quality boxing partnership/ experience the sport has to offer. Showtime/PBC is the benchmark to which all other en****** should aspire to and partner with. If only the boxing writers had not fought tooth and nail to keep free boxing under cover. How blessed would this sport be. How strong of a future would it have. But at least we still get a real sport with the best fighting the best with the PBC/ Showtime partnership. More success to come/ the matches have been of the highest quality. No app or additional payment desires to watch mismatches of sheltered fighters on a private label.Comment

Good, and I'm sure their budget will only increase with this extension with the landscape of boxing with DAZN+ESPN.
I do wonder if the hold up in the FOX announcement was getting this extension done first. Haymon probably had to work out with both networks the type of fights they will be getting. Dan said FOX wanted full exclusivity but FOX wasn't paying as much as SHO. That makes no sense at all. Why the hell would they want all of PBC with less than a SHO budget? I mean they aren't that ****** as they know it would have quickly been shot down. But I am sure If and when the FOX deal gets done, Haymon will give them better fights than they have been getting the last few years.
Good stuff, and I hope SHO gets some digital deal locked up soon to only give us more cards. Or at least be able to air the UC fights.Comment
