Looks like showtimes multi million dollar investment into Floyd Mayweather paid off. I remember thinking it was financial suicide paying him that much, but it definitely helped them get market share in the long run

Showtime 2018:
- Wilder vs. Ortiz - Fight of the Year candidate
- Lara vs Hurd - title unification/Fight of the Year candidate
- Stevenson vs. Jack - Fight of the Year candidate
- Santa Cruz vs. Mares II
- Russell vs. Diaz
- Garcia vs. Easter - title unification
- Garcia vs. Porter
- Joshua vs Parker
- Spence-Peterson and Spence-Ocampo
And that's just what I remember off the top of my head.
What other network had better fights without PPV?

But, I can't. You are 100% right, and I was one of the people saying Showtime was investing way too much in attaching themselves to Mayweather. I was wrong, and I guess I need to give some respect to that whole deal. It really helped Showtime grow, and I as a boxing fan benefited.

Whad'ya got say about that now Bob? Showtime ain't going anywhere.
That online streaming service of yours and your buddy Eddie Hearn's are a very risky investment. You guys not only run the risk of marginalizing the boxing viewing audience in general but the buying advertisers in particular; Since it's hard enough to find boxing on television.
Now just imagine how hard it's going to be to find boxing over the internet.
