HBO and Showtime will always be engraved in all of our hearts ❤️
FACTS!💯
They invested too much in mids cherry pickers like Duck Davis. after that flop event against Ryan the IG model they had enough and called it quits.
@@GalactusOG flop? Biggest ppv of 2023
@@GalactusOGgoof and they ain’t cutting boxing bc of money lol.
HBO the king and SHO the prince. I still watch that final HBO broadcast from time to time for the memories.
First HBO now SHOWTIME. Boxing as a whole will never be the same NEVER
Didn't realize boxing left HBO too. ESPN only one left
Showtime will go down in history as one of the best boxing sports broadcasters. Especially the ALL ACCESS episodes, they all felt special, motivating and inspiring. Thank you Showtime for giving us this great experience ❤🥊.
You Know they can still fix all this by bringing Boxing back. Problem solved.
Yeah I don’t understand why they got out of the buisness I thought they were the best
Same.@@boxing4life410

@@boxing4life410You don't understand??? It's pretty clear to see, they over paid fighters to be in fights that no one asked for or wanted to see. They made every half way decent fight a PPV at $80 then gave you a shit undercard so it was just $80 for the main event. They "marinated" fights for YEARS that didn't need marinating. Stephen Espinoza let uncle Al Haymon run wild over there and treated every fighter like they were Mayweather. There is only one Mayweather, we may never see another one so using that Mayweather template on every fairly marketable fighter was a disaster waiting to happen. There are tons of reason why Showtime is out of the boxing business, the main one was putting Espinoza in charge.
For the first time in my life I’m actually worried about this sport we all love so much. I have fought HARD against the “boxing is dead” narrative my entire life. But without HBO or Showtime I’m actually worried now. Both these networks did so much to bring us in as fans. They made it feel like it was more than “just a fight”. 24/7 and AllAccess specifically created so many fans who knew nothing about the sport. I have literally 0 faith in ESPN or DAZN growing this sport. They don’t have any soul in their production and really do shitall to promote new stars. Maybe PBC and Amazon show up, but I’m not going to count on it. I’m sure I’ll get pushback on this and fights will go on, but there is literally nothing showing me this sport will actually grow in the coming decade. I sincerely hope I’m wrong, but we’ll see. It’s an absolute shame HBO and showtime have quit the boxing game. Thank you for your memories and making me fall in love with the sport that changed my life
mannn fr.
Al Haymon made the bigs fights this year so yeah I still have faith but I understand your concern
Frrrr especially DAZN. They have the most boring commentators and crew in the boxing industry. It’s to where the point they make the fights boring and you just stop watching it. Showtime the goat 🐐
with Amazon on the rise. Youll be alright.
agreed, brotha.
No don’t go
Fr 😪
Ran out of by overpaying money
@armorplates8848 money had nothing to do with it paramount bought them out
Right😢😢😢
🥺
Thank you for the many memorable fights, all access, press conferences, and more. You guys will be missed along with HBO!
why did these companys stop selling fights? lots of money on the table IMO
Where's boxing gonna go now ? Dazn?
@@population-_-420 Amazon prime
@@giovanny30516There actually is no money because the boxers want 20 Million dollar paydays and the fans don't want to pay PPV .
all access was dope
Damn, HBO and Showtime Boxing gone.😢 To all the Boxing fans in the comments. It was a helluva run, alot great fights and memories. Hope to see you guys and girls wherever Boxing goes in 2024.🖖🏿
Goodbye Showtime. Thank you for some of the best fights EVER and the great memories 🥊
Wonder what’s going to happen with the commentators
🥺😔😒😭
So what now?
@@MichaelMyers.132They'll probably go back to HBO Boxing
@@TA-ht4jo HBO Boxing was dead 5 years ago.
When I heard Ranallo exclaim, 'The coronation is complete! All hail King Canelo! Viva Mexico's first undisputed champion!' I got chills🔥. Thanks, Showtime Boxing, for giving us fans the best boxing.😔
That was a fitting tribute. Thank you for 37 years of broadcast excellence.
You Know they can still fix all this by bringing Boxing back. Problem solved.
@@jackwilliams5474 Boxing left HBO and never returned and it's now leaving Showtime and it ain't comng back.
U never Know. Boxing FNF left ESPN then they came back with Boxing later. @@TA-ht4jo
First HBO boxing, now Showtime?!?! Great fights. Hall of fame announcers. Truly the end of a historic era. 😢
As a fan of the sport for 20 years I literally cried during that intro. Long live boxing !!!
I stopped watching boxing about twenty (20) years ago. The talent and skill level is such, that _'Boxing Is Dead'_ is basically a true statement. You should checkout _'Entertainment'_ Muay Thai, such as can be seen on _ONE Friday Fights._ (Skip past the first two fights, which are MMA.)
They invested too much in mids cherry pickers like Duck Davis.
@@GalactusOG haha pretty sure Tank literally made them most of they’re earnings this year but everyone can speculate how they want.
@@mikeyflaherty4616 I looked at the numbers and it was pathetic. Not enough return on the investment.
Gonna miss the all access farewell showtime 😭💔
Damn , I didn’t even think about that 😭
Thank you for everything Showtime, Boxing will miss you
The future isn't nostalgy!!!
HBO and Showtime. Man Thanks for all the memories. From a lifelong boxing fan
First it was HBO now Showtime. It was a helluva run
It was a pleasure helping broadcast this sport alongside with PBC and Showtime, I was fortunate to be a part of the last showtime ppv broadcast as a replay operator, wish the best to that great crew! 🙏🏽
RIP SHOWTIME YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MISSED BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN RIP HBO AS WELL GREAT CHILDHOOD MEMORIES PPVS EVERYTHING THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING🙏🙏😞
😢
You should watch ONE Friday Fights. Skip past the first two bouts (MMA) and watch a few Muay Thai fights.
So what now?
It’s a beautiful thing to see that the staff on showtime are a family and care deeply about the sport just like us fans. It’s Shoooooowtime! Was showtime, and will always be showtime!! 🥊🥊
Thank you Showtime. Boxing will never be the same.
This left me really emotional. Showtime poured their heart and soul into their production. I never missed their All Access before the big fights, they got that down pat. Even this farewell production was superb. DAZN can't even get the sound right on fights.
Everything came together so perfect. Wish something’s never came to an end. Boxing will never feel the same. Thank you Showtime. ❤
They'll be missed. Thank you for the memories.
Thank you to everyone in front and behind the camera. One of my earlier memories are watching Julio Cesar Chavez and Iron Mike dominate in the squared circle on SHOWTIME. Thank you for the memories.
Boxing without HBO and Showtime is crazy. Pray for the sport
Crying my eyes out watching this. Thank you all so much for your dedication to the sport and giving us enjoyable nights always!
The music, the scenes, the guys and the fighters.. MAN it’ll be missed in boxing. So long Showtime 🥊❤️
No other broadcasters documented boxing like Showtime. Saddened yet privileged to have been able to witness this masterpiece of a program. 😔
They invested too much in mids cherry pickers like Duck Davis. after that flop event against Ryan the IG model they had enough and called it quits.
ALL Access and some of the best fights ever. I been watching boxing for almost 14-15 years now and i'm only 20. I am from a country where boxing ain't widespread, channels like SHOWTIME really meant so much to us rare fans from this place. I want to thank the entire team for all the years of memories, you'd be missed but never forgotten!
i feel like crying thank you all for all the hard work and love you put into creating this amazing history..
I’m already there 😢
Man that was deep. I almost cried 50 times watching this 😂. Job well done Showtime!!!
Loved the Showtime “All Access” documentaries growing up, thank you for the unforgettable memories Showtime! ♥
This actually made me very emotional. Sad to see showtime leaving since it was one of the best boxing promotions of all time.
It will be deeply missed!! An amazing run of incredible fights & we thank you! 🙏 🥊
What a time it was 🫡
lmfao aren't these the clowns that signed jake paul??? boxing is a joke. a youtuber could NEVER come into our sport and take it over. he tried mma, and he got slapped around by a guy 10x smaller than this lmfao
@@bfat387 Lol “our sport” 😆😆 The Cheeto Finger Championship dork 😂😂
Thank you for all 37 years. We will miss you 🥲
Thank you for everything Showtime . You’ll be surely missed 😢
Thankyou Showtime for being part of my life
Thanks for making me cry
Thank you for the memories. I have no words to describe what SHOWTIME Boxing has meant to me over the years.
*THANK YOU SHOBOX* For everything!! Long live Showtime Sports!!!
Thank You Showtime Boxing
Mauro running to his seat giggling was too funny. These guys all love the sport and their jobs
Thank you for all the memories.. We will miss you
I've been a TRUE boxing fan all my life & Showtime was right there with me. Whether it was a night of boxing or a Showtime Championship PPV, I saw it. After watching the great "End of an ERA" video, it brought tears to my eyes. There wasn't a fight clip that was shown that I didn't see live on TV. "The voice of showtime", we all know him as Muaro Ranello. The saying that I can't forget is when a boxer gets hit with a knarly uppercut and the boxer's head goes flying back and here comes Muaro with "he just got rocked like a pervial PEZ dispenser". That was a classic line. I watched religiously for 37 yrs and I'm truely sad to see such a program come to an end. From Muaro, to the center of the ring, and the classy Jimmy Lennon Jr. , there's nothing that gets me going more then when I hear, "IT'S SHOWTIME" Thank You for all you've done for boxing. Showtime Championship boxing will be missed, again, Thank You
This is actually really sad So many memories Thank you Showtime
Boxing will never be dead
How so
I'm a hardcore fan but it's already dead we just don't realize it yet. It's sad to say
As someone who grew up watching Showtime boxing just like with HBO boxing this is incredibly sad.
What a great final Christmas Gift from Showtime. Thank you Showtime..
Witnessing fighters perform and their stories, their struggles, puts a lot of my own struggles and my own life into perspective. The training and the actual event are a metaphor for pushing through and enduring losses as strongly as we endure success. I have so much gratitude for platforms like this that allow us access into these stories. Much love to any of you reading this going through hard times. Keep fighting.
Thank you so much Showtime! I started watching as a teen and it drew me in to the beautiful sport of boxing! Thank you for all the amazing memories and moments that I will always cherish and remember 😢 I guess it’s true what they say…you never know what you have until it’s taken away. We were blessed! Hopefully the upcoming generations have something like HBO or Showtime in their life!
ّI grew up with HBO boxing but adopted Showtime as I got older. Our boxing family is slowly dwindling. I love that fighters are finding newer opportunities in MMA and exhibition fights. But the era of golden age boxing is slowly coming to an end as there are lesser and lesser avenues to watch title fights. My kids aren't going to have the same fight fan experience that I had. It's something I always hoped we'd share. I hope they can find something meaningful from the fight world as Showtime and HBO's been for me.
The “Night of the Roxbury” stereo over my head with the song “Where do you go, my Lovely” at Showtime HQ.
😔 Truly going to miss Showtime Boxing. What a way to end to he Era. Brought back a lot of memories of watching with family and friends. It's Showtime Boxing
Thank you Showtime for years of great memories💚
When we first got cable, my father said now we have two more places to go for boxing. HBO and Showtime. From the late 1980's through 2020. I can't tell you how much this meant to my father. He loved Jimmy Lennon's Jr.'s "It's SHOWTIME!". I shed a lot of tears with this. R.I.P Dad. Always a fan.
I KNOW IM NOT THE ONLY ONE GETTING A TEAR 😢 WHAT BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS. SALUTE FROM PHOENIX ARIZONA
Thank you showtime I watch some of the biggest fights with my dad and family in our home living room… may my dad rest in peace !!! We ordered every PPV fight !!! Man so many good memories!! Much love , I hope you guys make a return someday before my time here is done!
This is really a sad thing to experience especially at a time where the world needs boxing as it brings us together and SHOWTIME was always there to do that. Special thanks to the SHOWTIME team and stay blessed🥊.
Thank you 🙏 the memories and experiences I’ve had watching showtime boxing is crazy. I remember my whole family would ALWAYS watch the HBO and Showtime boxing. It’s sad that they’re gone. I’m hoping we can get some old fight cards released on KZhead
Started watching boxing on house arrest about 12 years ago from a free showtime weekend trail. Never looked back and paid for showtime till this month. Feel like i lost someone special to me.
If boxing gave the fans the fights they want and not put greed before that, MMA would not be kicking its ass like this. Cheers SHOWTIME, thanks for documenting history for us in the most entertaining way.
Thanx you 😢😢 Showtime, you've motivated and inspired me to keep my training up. You will always be loved and remembered thanx you for the Great moments you've provided over the years 🎉
RIP HBO Sports RIP Showtime Sports Will never be a better duo
Grew up to this stuff what goes up must come down , thank you so much for the amazing ride. I feel like I know you guys as if you were family
Fire epilogues to the end 🔥🔥🔥🔥😔😔🥺🥺💙
Watching the last telecast and now watching this I can't help to feel emotional. Boxing has always been a big part of my life. From a kid watching Tyson in the 80s sitting on my dad's lap. Watching Tuesday night fights on USA in highschool. Watching boxing in our tent in Afghanistan. Tobeimg a father myself watching this true warrior sport with my son now. I will always love this sport and hope that the next generation of commentators are as genuine as the folks at sho box. Thank you for all the memories.
I shed a tear for USA Tuesday night fights then again for ESPN Friday Night Fights. HBO left i cried, but now Showtime fuck!!! The tv landscape has changed and Showtime can't compete with streaming services this day and age. Castillo vs Corrales, Vasquez vs Marquez, Elder vs Burton on Shobox. Klitschko vs Joshua sellout , Jimmy Lennon announcing "its showtime" has always been the best.
Classic. A lot of great memories. Thank you! 🙏🏽
Love showtime and what they brought the entertainment for 37 years. What a blessing they will be missed. Thank showtime and crew for everything
Thanks Showtime For The Memories These My Fav Sho Quotes Of All Time, 1. “The Corrination Is Complete, All Hail King Canelo” 2. “Joshua Just Smoked Klitsco Like A Monte Krisco” 3. “And There’s A Combination That Drops Errol Spence For The First Time In His Career, That Lighting Hand Speed” 4. “ Down Goes Bruno, Tyson Has Done It” 5. “Mama Mia !! Brian Mendoza Has Done It AGAIN” 6. “Mayweather Putting On A Clinic Here In Vegas” 7. Barrios Slumped Over, Its Over, Its Over !!!, GTD has Assended To 140 Pounds” 8. “Wilder Hit Breazile So Hard They Are Feeling It In Brazil” 9. “Charlo Rules The 154 Pound Division With A Iron Fist” 10. “Its Over, Father Time Make Sum Room !!, Nonito Donaire Is Champion AGAIN” 🔥‼️
Mauro is a beast
Oh yeah. Definitely all great! “Somebody’s 0 has got to gooo”
Bro how could you forget, “WHAT A SHOT!! WHAT A MISSLE STRIKE BY DAVIS!”
Anytime he says “mama mia!”
"WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?!"
And then... you made me cry... again 😅 What an amazing job, great videos, best professionals, amazing boxers !
Damn!!!!!!! I’ll miss y’all so much. Thanks for the nights. Who cutting onions yall????
First HBO, now Showtime. It was great while it lasted. GG.
Streaming coming for every sport! My kids won’t watch sports the same way I did, but it’s the way the world is going and I’m here for it.
the amount of amazing fight cards I watched on Showtime over the years has been unbelievable and some of the best memories in Boxing that I will never forget. I honestly Love you Showtime and you will be greatly missed... Thank you so much Showtime.. you will never be forgotten.
So what now??
Showtime boxing created a lot of Great memories with family and friends. Thank you showtime!! ❤😢
We love you showtime ❤ gave us the best boxing content ever to be made thank you
Going to really miss Jimmy Lennon Jr’s “ITS SHOWTIME”! 😢
Nothing like a Saturday night watching a great PPV fight and having a BBQ. Like I told HBO thank you for all the great fights watching them with friends and family !!!!!
That’s crazy I literally grow up watching boxing my whole life I’m 30 rn and man my dad and uncles put me on it and love it ever since we would go up when it was a Mexican fighter boxing still do just not as much like b4 good ol times showtime thank you for all these entertaining fights you put on for us highly appreciated 🙏🏽
Thanks for all the years .. great presentation and great team we miss you...
This gave me goosebumps! So amazing❤❤❤
Great video filled with so many great moments and memories.
Thank you for childhood memories
i will miss this shit😢
Oh, my goodness Showtime PPV Boxing is going to be missed! Thank You all so much for the memories!
Thank you for tall the incredible fights Showtime Boxing. Attended my 1st and unfortunately last showtime boxing event early March this year when Mark Magsayo took on Brandon Figueroa at the Toyota Arena in Ontario, CA. Truly an amazing experience.
This was so awesome! Sad to see it go but really enjoyed the episodes! Forward March!
Imagine a little me, wide-eyed and barely five, perched next to my dad, watching Showtime Boxing. He was a pro in those gritty mid-80s, and those fights became our bonding ritual. Fast forward, over three decades later, and that bond evolved, passing the passion to my own kids. Showtime became a family tradition, painting our lives with intense fights, fierce rivalries, and heart-stopping moments. The folks on screen, the hidden heroes backstage, they made it more than just boxing; they crafted experiences, memories we carried through life. Each punch thrown, each fighter’s story told-it wasn’t just sports; it was life lessons wrapped in leather gloves. Now, as we bid adieu to Showtime Boxing, it feels like saying farewell to an old friend who colored our world with courage, determination, and endless excitement.
Best fights of all time🏆 Showtime really brought out the real emotions of these warriors
Stupid statement. "SOME" of the best fights of all time." Alienating or forgetting about HBO Boxing just shows how much of a casual fan you are
thank you for making me fall in love with this sport!! you will be missed.
Ouch this hurts. Iv been watching boxing since I was knee high to a June bug. Thank you showtime for me going crazy at fights and almost falling out of a multiple story building.
Best production of this sport to date. Thank you Showtime!
Stupid statement. "SECOND best production of this sport to date." Alienating or forgetting about HBO Boxing just shows how much of a casual fan you are
Thank y’all so much. If it wasn’t for y’all I would’ve never seen the great fight of my life. Spence Vs Crawford I’m only 31. I grew up watching Tyson but as I got in my 20s when I really started to realize I love boxing more then my daddy who got me started with it. I used to ask him questions about it. Lol now he calls me and ask questions thanks to y’all our relationship also grew. 🔥🏆
There had been some great commentators on Showtime Championship Boxing throughout those 37 years: Tim Ryan, Steve Albert, the late Ferdie Pacheco, Bobby Czyz, the late Nick Charles, Steve Farhood, Barry Tompkins, Gus Johnson, Al Bernstein, Paulie Malignaggi, Daniel Jacobs, Abner Mares, Bruce Beck and Mauro “MAMMA MIA!” Ranallo. To me, Steve Albert, Ferdie Pacheco and Bobby Czyz and Mauro Ranallo, Al Bernstein and Paulie Malignaggi will always be my two favorite broadcast teams on Showtime Championship Boxing!
wow bro i’m sad. thanks for everything you guys made me fall in love with boxing.
Pbc absolutely ruined showtime, promoting boxers and not boxing got them fired,
Manny Pacquiao one of the all time greats in boxing history
Thanks for all the memories and having great time with family and friend’s watching theses fights since I was kid have old vcr recordings Of old fights that were recorded over my baby tapes lol
Can’t believe Showtime is out of boxing! So much history has been made in the sport on Showtime box network! Thank you
