[MEXICAN STYLE]

[MasterPlan]

Hmmm, they have no PBC fights lined up. They do have other ShoBox level cards on the horizon.

It does seem Showtime will be closing shop soon.

With the CBS and Viacom Merger and a new guy now in charge of Showtime, nobody knows what the Future Holds for Showtime Boxing or probably even Espinoza with a new guy (Bob Bakish) overseeing Showtime now

Showtime and Espinoza are not doing anything wrong nor can they do anything better other than maybe put fights on CBS I guess. I think they will continue to get fights, the budget will be Lower for now but I think Showtime Boxing will stick around and try to weather the down period in boxing as far as Ratings and overall appeal

Boxing actually does GREAT Digitally for Showtime, even FOX recently mentioned during their Q4 Conference Call how big of a jump they got since launching their boxing PPV Coverage. So it is still a big market for boxing, the issues is that Boxing Demo is OLD so how do they get the Older Fans on Those New Digital Formats is the challenge that all of boxing has!

cbs owns showtime..showtime has charlos, gervanta davis, and wilder. the top ko artists in the boxing world. showtime isn't going anywhere and is doing great.

Let's just face it. Showtime don't have unlimited funds to come up with meaningful cards every month. It's not really about Haymon preferring Fox over it.

But just imagine you are a subscriber and want to see fights at least two fights per month. Man, that's a lot of waiting, waiting waiting.

Anything for Showtime in the last quarter of this year?

[El_Mero]

It does seem Showtime will be closing shop soon.

So if it does happen, Ol' salty Arum should be called NostraBOBus

[Bullrider]

Is Showtime still relevant or what?
