Showtime boxing is back

SHO is definitely back, for now.

Is the Haymon plan to go SHO in the spring/summer, and then go back to the PBC shows in the fall/winter?

It will be interesting to see what the SHO ratings do during this stretch of fights, because they've been really low recently.

Povetkin/Wilder might be the best heavyweight fight in a decade. I just don't see how that won't be a great fight. Finally something though. Still wish there was more going on this month.

I love this lineup

Great news! Much respect to Showtime for this schedule, a lot of great fights.

Side note: Is PBC dead?

Damn!!!! Showtime just threw their nuts on the table! Your turn HBO!

Seriously great looking schedule. I'm also seeing reports elsewhere confirming Wilder vs. Povetkin is a done deal for May 21.

I knew Frampton would move up to 126 and I honestly can't blame him.

There are bigger fights there. I would've loved to see him get a fight with Rigo, but Roc Nation can't seem to fill out a visa form properly plus the fact that he's been inactive doesn't help.

Provodnikov fighting Molina pretty much means that Crawford is out of opponents for the summer. This should be the time to make Crawford-Postol.

DeGale is somehow on the undercard of a fight headlined by Bute (The guy he beat). But I think they're setting up a Jack-DeGale clash for the future, so that's good.

Overall, I like the lineup. It'll definitely put pressure on HBO to respond.

Also, this is more proof PBC is in trouble. Haymon gobbling up license fees from Showtime rather than putting fights on free TV
