Showtime looking to regularly put on triple-headers?

Saw this on Steve Kim's Twitter and thought it was interesting...

Just had an interesting conversation/interview with Stephen Espinoza of Showtime regarding Bute/Froch, Dawson-Ward and 4x-headers

Espinoza says that while a quadruple-header is an experiment, having tripleheaders on SHO may become the norm

You can argue about the quality of Showtime's fights in '12, but since Espinoza's arrival, we have undercard bouts on 'Extreme' and we are starting to see triple and quadruple-headers on 'Championship Boxing' on Showtime....

Unlike other sports, #boxing at the elite level, gives us less of our favorite, world-class performers and elite.

That needs to change But with that said, a fine balance has to be struck between quality and quantity for #boxing programming...

With 4x-headers, it's just not more boxing, it's really more guys like Leo Santa Cruz and Austin Trout that get exposed

I remember a time when HBO used to do triple-headers, regularly, now it's a rare site. Matter of fact, single fight telecasts are more common place than triple-headers. Glad to see Showtime plans to expand their Boxing coverage. Hopefully, this inspires HBO to do something similar with their lineup and secondary networks.

Great news.

I love a full night of boxing. Too often an undercard ends early and we're listening to 20 minutes of filler for the main event. Pretty hard to do with a triple header.

This is awesome news, the more boxing the better!
