    I'm pretty sure they won't be needing the advice of some unemployed moron who spends 10+ hours a day spamming up a boxing forum with nonsense. :dead

    Funny how some fans are wishing a network to fail so there is less boxing. The very same network which those fans adored when their idol was on it. Boxing fans or cawk lovers?

    I was pro HBO in the Stzu days
    Now all I watch is showtime. Boxing is also on more often on showtime.
    Boxing dosent show up on HBO enough.
    Some nights showtime will even throw on some old **** HBO never does it
    they make an event of it and call it legendary nights

    I've got to imagine Showtime are indeed losing more money on boxing than they are earning.

    Lol at losing money being okay because the parent company is fine. That is not how the world works.

    Pac Vs. Chicken Void would be a huge PPV sellout and make Showtime a huge profit, but Chicken Void is too afraid of Pac. Showtime should push Void to get the nerve to fight Pac, we all knock that Void is afraid of Pac, very afraid................

    Back during the super 6 showtime said they were willing to lose money to displace HBO and take over boxing viewership.

    HBO is taking way too long to die and Showtime as a result might shedding weight. Especially with Mayweather-Maidana I supposedly losing money and now to make up for it... The same fight again?

    It's actually the other way around, ***** boy.

    Pussies were sayin HBO is this and that, while real mother f uckers didn't give a f uck about no ***** ass networks that lil ***** boys pay attention to.

    Real mother f uckers don't like payin for either one.

    They ain't lil bitches.

    But then you ***** ass mother f uckers switchin networks because king ass p ussy ass ***** decided to RUN to showtime to HIDE from Pacquiao like the **** talkin ***** he is.

    Now you ride another networks dick like a straight up p ussy.

    I get what he is trying to say.Showtimes boxing programming has been ,for the most part,something in the industry would refer to as a "lost leader".They had hoped to increase their subscription base through their boxing series and take away HBO's commanding lead.It simply has not worked as they had planned.
    True,Sho's bosses who really call the shots and give them their budget is CBS,a giant company with huge profits,but even they will begin cutting funds next year when the Mayweather experiment comes to an end.
    HBO continues to lead in subscribers and boxing ratings.A nice try by Showtime,but it simply has not worked,despite what they say.Sho's recent admission that they will no longer give out their PPV buy rate says it all.:deal
