    • I would love to hear from one of my favorite posters on here, the legendary promoter J. Russell Peltz, as to his opinions on streaming and the cable networks dropping boxing. Peltz used to promote great shows from the Blue Horizon on the USA cable network.

  • Corrales – Castillo, Whitaker – Chavez, the Vazquez – Marquez series, Benn – McClellan, personal favorite Holyfield – Dokes, they finally got Crawford – Spence together, Holyfield – Tyson, another personal favorite Orlin Norris – Adolpho Washington, McClellan – Jackson… just off the top of my head. Some fantastic memories they’ve given me over the years.

    • NO ONE could go wrong on Castillo and corrales. Man, I remember that fight like it was yesterday. That was a fun night for boxing.

      • Corrales vs Castillo was the fight of the month , the fight of the year and for me the fight of the decade

        It was just awesome fight where corrales win because he cheated

        In the rematch Castillo disconnected corrales

        And in the third one Castillo did not make the weight

  • It was an honor to have lived back in the hey day when boxing was on Showtime, HBO, ESPN, and USA network on a regular basis. Plenty of fights to watch without the BS of fees and hidden costs to watch such exciting entertainment. Boxing has become a much larger, greedy, and political business on a digital platform, and I am not so sure this is the best direction. Time will tell. What is a plus in this day and age is the ability to watch old fights over and over on web pages with a simple click of a mouse or a tap on a screen. Nothing lasts forever in sports and eras must come to an end and move on. Showtime has seen an end to their era much like HBO.

    • Scooby Doo…always respect your opinion…believe that the streaming boxing programming ..i.e DAZN, ESPN, Probox..etc is quite innovative and better.Dazn had multiple fights from different shows on at the same times.ESPN had a nice time line with realtime updates and comments on a recent PPV fight..Probox has a live stream where the public can comment..believe that DAZN has a nice watch party.. during the fights.in many aspects…while the others including Showtime had their time… streaming is innovative and inexpensive… believe that with more competition..will get better…

      • Sean, great to hear from you. I agree, some advancements in digital technology have made the sports world a better place. Good point that innovation has improved outcomes in streaming. One thing I enjoy is the ability to stream movies and watch nearly anywhere a person travels. Boxing is no exception in this case. Happy holidays.

  • As usual, Carlos is ranting about what? Corrales Cheating? Let me guess? Because of the mouth piece? Come on man. Dokes-Holyfield was my favorite. Randall Vs Chávez 1 and Barkley VS Hearns. I use to really enjoy the prefight from HBO and Showtime as well. Going to miss it that’s for sure.

  • There are so many memories of Showtime. One of my favorite moments was the Super Six Tournament. The best of the best at 168 fought each other back-to-back until one man was left standing (Andre Ward). I recall Andre Ward ,Jermain Taylor, Arthur Abraham, MIkkel Kessler, Carl Froch. Jermaine Taylor and Andre Dirrell. Kessler withdrew so Glen Johnson and Allan Green stepped in. Andre Ward being the victor of course. The nostalgia. I remember Judah vs Costya Tszyu as well.

    • Super Six Tournament was nothing short of AMAZING!!!! IDK if anyone expected Andre Ward to win the whole thing as he did! I know I didn’t…..Back then I thought either Froch or Kessler?!

  • Ten bell count for the boxing we used to know. Today it is just an empty circus with more aggression on social media than in the actual boxing ring.

  • thats why i will cancel showtime thru my cable company, i only paid for showtime to watch boxing, so good bye, hope espn will have more boxing on

  • Really enjoyed the 90’s ringside team of Steve “Can I get my skin any tanner and my teeth any whiter” Albert, Bobby Czyz, and the late Ferdie Pacheco.

  • Boxing has a great talent for destroying its fan base, losing broadcast outlets and losing advertisers. You would think that the promoters, broadcast outlets and the boxers would realize that the moronic self-serving sanctioning body business model doesn’t work and cost boxing any credibility that it had left. The reality is, over 95% of the public couldn’t tell you who the Heavyweight Champion of the World is.
