| Is that they do not re-air the fights that originally air on CBS. I don't know if it's a contractual thing, or a problem working around commercials or whatever.
In general showtime doesn't re-air many of the SF matchups. They re-air a ton of boxing stuff, but not so much MMA.
As has been noted, it would be great if CBS-Showtime-Strikeforce could pull a non-pay cable channel into the mix, if only as a stage for the re-air's and perhaps some challenger series stuff. | |

| It will probably take a little while, but they will get around to it. Heck the UFC isn't on any non-pay channels and they are making a killing. | |

| I just watched a re-aired Shamrock vs Le on Showtime 2. They need to find another network to air this stuff in syndication though. USA network seems like a good fit. | |

Showtime and Strikeforce now, but it wasn't then. Point being, is Strikeforce and Showtime can re-air CBS cards whenever they want and probably will once a lot of time has passed just like they are starting to show the EliteXC cards that were on CBS. | |

| As for re-airing Showtime cards..if you have comcast or anything with "On Demand" they keep the Showtime cards available to watch anytime you want for several months. They also re-air them on Showtime quite frequently. Especially when they are leading into an event. I just watch Shamrock-Le and Shields-Lawler on these past couple nights. | |

I too have seen a fair amount of Shamrock Le. But where is Fedor? Is that not the SF flag ship? And they air 3-4 times the boxing. | |
