You can then subscribe directly to SHO for $8.99, way cheaper than what cable charges, and still watch the fights live on your TV (or anywhere you want).
DAZN is on Roku as well, as is ESPN+, FOX, etc.

Originally posted by gbonafide View PostShowtime has been kicking ass and benefited from the PBC not going to plan. Fact of the matter is Les Moonves was a massive boxing fan and now that he is not heading CBS, the parent company, they’ve lost their biggest supporter. Les was truly instrumental in making May-Pac happen. Changes at the top led HBO to where they are now and this could well happen to Espinoza and Showtime. Showtime had the best streaming before ESPN+ & DAZN. We’ve been able to stream live fights on their app for a while now and you still can’t do that with HBO. Espinoza has done a good job. I’d say he’s done a great job if he worked with more promoters than Al.
Espinoza has said Boxing has helped Showtime’s overall buisness goals. So what’s the problem ?

Originally posted by gbonafide View PostIt’s still about ratings and subscribers. People at the top are going to look at how much they paid out for the Garcia Porter fight and look at the ratings return and say WTF? Despite their poor boxing programming over the last two years HBO still rates better while paying smaller license fees. If showtime and Espinoza are getting non-hardcore boxing fans to subscribe because of their boxing programming then that’s a different story. But their ratings don’t show that they’re doing that despite quality programming.
They wouldn’t be increasing the budget if they didn’t see growth.
