I think it's fair to say Showtime made truckloads of money in the circus fight...

The god came to our sport and blessed it. Conor runs boxing, no doubt about it.

LOL! What the hell are you smoking boy?

Showtime/CBS is the platform for the premium fights (and the expanded ShoBox series). Under that, you likely have the Fox/FS1 deal for PBC, feeding in (BounceTV seems set with their quarterly shows as well).

Funny how folks are now openly making excuses for HBO.

HBO got a handful of fighters.
SHO got lots of them sitting on the shelf for months, years.
These guys should strive becoming free agents.

A handful of fighters? The only fighters they have under contract are Canelo, GGG, and Kovalev. Nobody from PBC has a network contract. HBO is free to use any of those fighters for their fights.

People have pretty much gave up expecting anything from HBO.
I don't see any HBO fans in here. Do you?
OTOH, you guys have been the ones making excuses for
the miserable long layoffs going on in the Haymon camp.
You can't solve problems you don't want to acknowledge.

Porter is mercilessly pursuing Gift Garcia with no let up.
Which Garcia most likely won't be able to turn down like the Thurman fight.
Gift can't possibly ask for a tuneup first like in the Thurman fight
because Porter's last fight is more recent than his.
I don't mind Spence vs Peterson.

I like both those fights. Spence can't just sit around waiting for Thurman.

I don't care about HBO.
It's fair to say Sho should be able to make tons of fights
after making truckloads of money in the circus fight!

HBO or Showtime need to pick up the WBSS. I want to see that shjt on a tv, not a laptop/tablet.

So you don't care about boxing. HBO is the Number 1 premium boxing channel. Things are ok at Showtime. You should be worried about what's happening to boxing on HBO if you care about boxing

Showtime, as of today, has already produced 12 Showtime Championship Boxing broadcasts, with at least another 10 ShoBox cards this year.

What are you talking about? lol

Any blip on your radar screen about upcoming fights from Showtime?
Should be easy to make fights for the rest of the year after making so much money from the circus show.
Agree?
