    The Fox and PBC deal is only good for a few more months. It looks likely Fox will be ending the deal and not renewing. Fox has not really invested in boxing. I understand that PBC has been putting a lot of stuff on Pay Per View now because Fox will no longer cover expenses.

    Showtime is still in boxing for now although I have long speculated they would leave as they don't get much ratings from it and it takes a lot of budget that they can otherwise get a better ROI on, like TV shows.

    So 2 questions:

    1. What happens if Fox ends the deal? PBC has lots of fighters and a lack of dates.

    2. What if BOTH Fox and Showtime leave boxing in the next year? I doubt other TV channels will come in with big bucks to make a deal with PBC. Everyone has been leaving boxing or is close to the way out. HBO got out, Fox will probably leave, DAZN has been losing money hand over fist, what happens in this scenario? PBC has way too many fighters that are overpaid and a lack of dates.
