hbo has been decreasing their budget for a long time. they're getting out because they feel like boxing isn't as lucrative as it once was. last time showtime upped their budget to go head to head with hbo, they were outlasted...it was a great run for boxing fans, but hbo came out on top.
Where are the apologies?

Wilder does a million+ on linear Showtime, which doesn't count all the people watching on Showtime's app and Showtime Anytime.
Trolls like you really look more pathetic than ever. I kept explaining that HBO was cheating the system by refusing to air fights live on their app or HBO GO, not putting fights on demand until Tuesday, etc etc.
I kept explaining that SHO's public number was skewed by Showtime allowing live streaming, quick VOD, etc etc.
And here we are. Showtime doubles down on boxing while HBO throws in the towel.
So who do you think was right all along about the numbers? Me? Or the trolls like you? Because if I was wrong, HBO boxing would still exist and SHO wouldn't be increasing their budget.Comment

Actually according to Stephen Espinoza on Michael woods talkbox podcast the the app only has tens of thousands of viewers for fights?Wilder does a million+ on linear Showtime, which doesn't count all the people watching on Showtime's app and Showtime Anytime.

Everybody said I was crazy for insisting PBC would land a big deal with FOX and kill HBO boxing. Admittedly, I didn't think HBO boxing would die in 2018, figured it might take a year or two longer than that. But nonetheless, when PBC launched, most of you here insisted it would flop and that there was no way it would put HBO boxing out of business.
Yet here we are.
I was called every name in the book. So surely there are at least a few honorable gentlemen here willing to apologize?
Only wish I was active at the time to see it.

The literal app, yes. But you have the actual independent app, you have Showtime Anytime, you have DirecTV Everywhere, a variety of services. Showtime is very very coy about how many people total are watching, but their actions show they're very happy with the viewership numbers.Comment
