Apologize to you for what? Did his comment personally affect you?

apologize to the community for lying

Not even that! They got out bid by Fox for the Wilder PPV and suddenly they're going to leave boxing? Ridiculous. Boxing is one of the few advantages Showtime has over HBO right now. Boxing is relatively inexpensive, especially since Showtime is being conservative and not trying to out bid the other players. They'll keep having their fights every month or two. They're not going anywhere. Especially when they just signed a three year deal.

Those comments seemed to personally offend u stephen

ESPN sucks now because it's moving everything to +

I think ESPN and fox will do more to grow the sport as long as they don’t put it in an app like ESPN is starting to do

Sorry to burst your bubble EVERYTHING IS GOING behind a paywall now aka ESPN + HBO Max, Hulu, Disney + etc etc etc

Gotta thank the people 10 years ago who whined about being forced to pay for All cable channels LOL they wanted to only pay for individual channels...

Well you got your wish now people want to go back to the old way.

Are you able to refute anything I said?

How so? Boxing did just fine and in my opinion better when on premium. Are you about to say fox and espn are doing a better job than hbo and showtime. I surely hope not.

Espn, dazn and fox have been embarrassingly cringeworthy to date.

Seeing how HBO are out of the boxing business, yes I would say fox/espn are doing a better job, wouldn't you?

PPV on cable is like CD sales, times change and things become obsolete, it happens.

No one wants to pay 45% to a cable operator and only have it available at that exact moment when they can stream it on demand, keep the money and collect all the data, its just the way it is.

[MASTER OF you]

yup! showtime boxing is now deadtime boxing. they are irrelevant now!

They vacated which is substantially different from going out of business. I vehement disagree.
