    Is anyone signed to Showtime? They're signed to PBC not Showtime. Wilder is only signed for the Breazeale fight as far as i know.

    Showtime are losing money, especially making ****** decisions like overpaying Wilder for Breazeale. They could make a TV series that would likely draw many more viewers for the money they're paying Wilder. They'll be out of boxing within a few years, just like HBO. It's all about **** for buck and boxing just isn't doing it for Showtime.

      Is ANYONE legit signed to Showtime? I think guys just happen to fight there more than anyone is locked into a deal with Showtime.

      Randomly you can get Showtime on Hulu for $5 & on Youtube for $7 last I heard if you are paying for it via cable now at a higher price.

        Showtime has been very weak this year. Haymon is giving the better fights to FOX.

          I've had it for a couple of years then dropped it the beginning of the years because it's been so slow. Picked it back up for The Chi and the upcoming wilder fight

            Signed I'm not sure, but Showtime does feature certain fighters. Wilder, Pacquiao, Broner, Claressa Shields, Joshua for a while, Haney for a while, looking at Jaron "Boots" Ennis, the non-Haymon fighters with links to Mayweather Promotions, and a seeming budding relationship with Salita Promotions.

            Everything else basically comes out of the PBC to fill (basically the 12 guaranteed Showtime shows and the 10 FOX shows are all on the same level; 22 prime main events to fill, put the like 4 PPV main events).

            So, if you've got Showtime just for boxing, you're for sure a good 15 ShoBox cards featuring largely 50/50 prospect fights, you're getting some of the most interesting international cards when they come up (though that likely goes light for a while without Joe Joyce carrying the ITV shows in the UK and the other UK players being committed elsewhere), and you've got at least 12 PBC shows a year (a slow year so far, but December gave you Wilder-Fury, Pacquiao came back, the Lara-Castano was low-profile but still a good fight and event, tonight's show let folks see Efe Ajagba again, you have Wilder-Breazeale off of PPV, Jermall Charlo is starting the summer with a good fight, Spence-Porter also looks to be headed to Showtime, and then you have the coming dearth of fights on FOX during football season; fully expect a FOX card early in September, no FOX card for October or November, and then the December FOX card later in the month).

            30 nights of fights for the year, plus the various boxing shoulder programming, for the cost of your monthly subscription for a year.

            Absolutely great value if you have interest in anything else on the channel, but still good value if you just want the fights (not sure how far into the library you can go now, but you also do get access to older fights, too).

              lol do you work for Showtime dude cause this is total bs propaganda. The Jermall Charlo Brandon Adams fight is garbage and Wilder Breazeale isn't that much better. And tonights main event was one of the worst fights i've ever seen.

                Wilder is the most popular American fighter in any weight class right now.

                ESPN was going to put Wilder vs Breazeale on PPV for $70 and DAZN was going to put Wilder vs Breazeale on their subscription service, which is $20 a month.

                Showtime costs $8.99 a month when you add it to most services.

                  That’s cute how you say PPV on ESPN was $70 and strategically don’t say DAZN is $99.99 for a full year. Showtime is $8.99 x 12 = $108. But but you get movies and Shameless...

                  Lol.

                  WAR DAZN.

                    People are ****** and/or poor and are never going to pay up front for a year of anything. For most people, DAZN is $20 a month.
