    I pray this happens. Then showtime can contact other promoters and actually show fights again.

            Other promoters already use SHO. Whoever promotes Shields and Jarron Ellis and a few others.

                Showtime dies this year like HBO Boxing died last year & next year Top Rank on ESPN dies.

                  That's ShoBox. They haven't had a non-Haymon affiliated Showtime Championship Boxing or PPV card in at least half a decade.

                    It comes down to promotion. Fox can promote ppv better than sho can.
