It's official: Showtime will carry Pascal-Hopkins on Dec. 18. It won't be on PPV

Nice

Wonder what that means for the Morales and Paulie fights?

hopefully they just move to showtime with it

Fuck yeah, that's why I pay them every month. I don't watch movies or any Shows on their programs. I only watch Boxing, that the only reason I have a subscription with them. Same thing HBO.

At least Showtime has some integrity and took this garbage fight off of PPV. I wish I could say the same for HBO.

This is a fight that shouldn't even be happening, let alone being on PPV. Good job Showtime...

Good deal, because there was no way I was even going to try to watch this shit PPV on a live stream, since it's on Showtime, i'm sure i'll watch it, but remember, Hop will turn this into a snoozer, so don't expect a good fight.

Nice Showtime or the promoters came to their senses.

BTW pay per views are usually the idea from promoters as they can make more money off them.

They are also the result of a network using up all it's money for a certain sport, and a PPV is the only way to pay for the event.

Time and time again, HBO blows it's budget before the year is out, and usually on crappy fights...

Yep, SHO had cash left over from the Super Six fights that fell apart
