2016 HBO and Showtime Boxing ratings (ranked from highest to lowest)

[al-Xander]

What the hell happened to showtime boxing?mused to be top notch

It never improved despite the fact that they have more fighters than TR and GBP combined. They were supposed to make HBO irrelevant since they recruited Mayweather accompanied by the defection of Schaefer and Haymon. Funny part is the rest of the superfight year (2015) was abysmal. It's as if they lost a lot money, instead of the opposite.

Not even a shout out. Smh.

Good thread. I think SHO is hurt a little by the cards on ESPN and NBC. HBO still gets more viewers.
