      I think each will have a seperate PPV.

      This might be like the WWE Brand spilt (do they still do that, lol.)

      Wilder on Showtime
      Spence on Fox

      Hopefully they don't seperate the Charlo's like they did the Dudley Boys lol.
      FOX/FS1 doing PPVs doesn't make any sense, largely because the aims are different.

      SHOPPV will be exclusively used for the fights that need it (Wilder-Joshua, fighters earning beyond what available on Showtime/CBS), CBS will be utilized for fights that are borderline PPV (Spence vs Garcia-Porter winner, Spence-Thurman, etc), and then you're going to have Showtime Championship Boxing and PBC on FOX basically targeting the same types of fights (all the PBC on NBC/ESPN/CBS/FOX/SpikeTV cards from the initial deal will now be under one channel).

      Showtime will get their fill first (whether by season or 6 months at a time), and then FOX will get their pick of events. Showtime/CBS isn't running events every Saturday, but between FOX and Showtime/CBS, we should be seeing fights at least 30-35 times a year between the two (to which you can then add the FS1 and ShoBox cards).

        Even if you factor ShoBox into the 30 Showtime/CBS cards, you're still talking about maybe 10 ShoBox cards and 20 (SHOPPV/CBS/Showtime Championship Boxing/SHO International) cards [PPVs will have the re-air, though it's unclear if Showtime will simply re-air the main event with a new live event or simply air the full PPV, due to the quality of the fights that Showtime gets on each show].

            BounceTV has allegedly been paying for their shows for a while now, 4 shows a year seems to be all they were looking at, and I believe Haymon has some of his own money tied up with them, too.

            You may be correct, but I'd wait on confirmation

              From my understanding it wouldn't make since to put shows on bounce unless they were lower tier shows just to keep guys busy or safely develop someone. FOX or SHO probably wouldn't like having a third party that's basically owned by haymon involved I would assume

                      iole said "reported 50 million" because the original report said "over 50 million." that report now says over 60 million.
