Everyone cancelled showtime because they stopped showing fights.
Now they’re making a late year run with shows but nothing is good enough to get the people who cancelled to sign back up again.Comment

It's a shame that Lubin didn't get more viewers. He looked great in that fight. I enjoyed the way he beat up Gallimore! Much, much , MUCH better fight than the Shakur Stevenson fight. I'll be paying very close attention to Lubin from now on. He's a damn good fighter!Comment

This is due to the ******ity of the Networks and Promoters. They take a fringe sport and both put on boxing cards at the same day and time.
"Yeah lets directly compete with those guys so we can cut our normally subpar viewing numbers in half to make them pathetic."Comment

To be fair, the entire card got turned upside down in like two weeks with fights being reshuffled. Outside of Easter and Granados, most fans have no idea who any of those guys are. Forget the first fight, nobody knows either guy. Lubin is not well known and neither is Gallimore. And they were going to head to head with an ESPN card and the World Series. Lubin-Gallimore is not the kind of fight to make people stay home to watch boxing on a Saturday night.
Also more and more people I know watch Showtime (and other channels) via streaming services like Youtube TV, HULU, Playstation, etc. - and I could be wrong but those numbers are not factored in to Nielsen figures.
I watch Showtime with their app Showtime Anytime (which I think Nielson doesn't count)
In comparison, Angulo-Quillin averaged only 282,000 viewers on FS1. (Showtime = 29.7 million homes, FS1 = 84.5 million homes)Comment
