The End Of An Era | SHOWTIME SPORTS

First HBO now SHOWTIME. Boxing as a whole will never be the same NEVER

HBO and Showtime will always be engraved in all of our hearts ❤️

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 ❤🥊.

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

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.🖖🏿

First HBO boxing, now Showtime?!?! Great fights. Hall of fame announcers. Truly the end of a historic era. 😢

Thank you for the many memorable fights, all access, press conferences, and more. You guys will be missed along with HBO!

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.😔

No don’t go

Goodbye Showtime.
Thank you for some of the best fights EVER and the great memories 🥊

HBO and Showtime. Man Thanks for all the memories. From a lifelong boxing fan

That was a fitting tribute. Thank you for 37 years of broadcast excellence.

Gonna miss the all access farewell showtime 😭💔

As a fan of the sport for 20 years I literally cried during that intro. Long live boxing !!!

First it was HBO now Showtime. It was a helluva run

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!

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!! 🥊🥊

RIP SHOWTIME YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MISSED BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN RIP HBO AS WELL GREAT CHILDHOOD MEMORIES PPVS EVERYTHING THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING🙏🙏😞

Thank you for everything Showtime, Boxing will miss you

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.

They'll be missed. Thank you for the memories.

Thank you Showtime.
Boxing will never be the same.

Everything came together so perfect. Wish something’s never came to an end. Boxing will never feel the same. Thank you Showtime. ❤

Crying my eyes out watching this. Thank you all so much for your dedication to the sport and giving us enjoyable nights always!

i feel like crying thank you all for all the hard work and love you put into creating this amazing history..

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! 🙏🏽

Boxing without HBO and Showtime is crazy. Pray for the sport

Loved the Showtime “All Access” documentaries growing up, thank you for the unforgettable memories Showtime! ♥

Man that was deep. I almost cried 50 times watching this 😂. Job well done Showtime!!!

It will be deeply missed!! An amazing run of incredible fights & we thank you! 🙏 🥊

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.

This actually made me very emotional. Sad to see showtime leaving since it was one of the best boxing promotions of all time.

Thankyou Showtime for being part of my life

No other broadcasters documented boxing like Showtime. Saddened yet privileged to have been able to witness this masterpiece of a program. 😔

The music, the scenes, the guys and the fighters.. MAN it’ll be missed in boxing. So long Showtime 🥊❤️

Thank you for everything Showtime .
You’ll be surely missed 😢

Thank you for the memories. I have no words to describe what SHOWTIME Boxing has meant to me over the years.

Thanks for making me cry

Thank you for all 37 years.
We will miss you 🥲

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.

Mauro running to his seat giggling was too funny. These guys all love the sport and their jobs

Boxing will never be dead

Thank You Showtime Boxing

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

*THANK YOU SHOBOX*
For everything!! Long live Showtime Sports!!!

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!

RIP HBO Sports
RIP Showtime Sports
Will never be a better duo

As someone who grew up watching Showtime boxing just like with HBO boxing this is incredibly sad.

This is actually really sad
So many memories
Thank you Showtime

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.

Thank you for all the memories..
We will miss you

😔 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 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!

Thank you Showtime for years of great memories💚

The “Night of the Roxbury” stereo over my head with the song “Where do you go, my Lovely” at Showtime HQ.

ّ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.

Going to really miss Jimmy Lennon Jr’s “ITS SHOWTIME”! 😢

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.

I KNOW IM NOT THE ONLY ONE GETTING A TEAR 😢 WHAT BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS. SALUTE FROM PHOENIX ARIZONA

What a great final Christmas Gift from Showtime. Thank you Showtime..

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🥊.

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.

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 KRplus

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 🎉

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.

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

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.

i will miss this shit😢

And then... you made me cry... again 😅 What an amazing job, great videos, best professionals, amazing boxers !

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!

Fire epilogues to the end 🔥🔥🔥🔥😔😔🥺🥺💙

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 !!!!!

Showtime boxing created a lot of Great memories with family and friends. Thank you showtime!! ❤😢

For 37 years showtime boxing has been about living the moment

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.

Oh, my goodness Showtime PPV Boxing is going to be missed! Thank You all so much for the memories!

First HBO, now Showtime. It was great while it lasted. GG.

Man , Dana called it a few years ago
“Every fight is a going out of a business sale”
Rip Showtime. Thanks for the memories !

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.

Pbc absolutely ruined showtime, promoting boxers and not boxing got them fired,

thank you for making me fall in love with this sport!! you will be missed.

Great video filled with so many great moments and memories.

Best fights of all time🏆 Showtime really brought out the real emotions of these warriors

Manny Pacquiao one of the all time greats in boxing history

Thanks for all the years .. great presentation and great team we miss you...

This was so awesome! Sad to see it go but really enjoyed the episodes! Forward March!

Best production of this sport to date. Thank you Showtime!

Devin Haney will never be a PPV DRAW

We love you showtime ❤ gave us the best boxing content ever to be made thank you

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.

At least I won’t have to hear “Mamma Mia!!!!” during a fight anymore. That dude is annoying, & Abner Mares sucks too. Boxing will never die, let’s just hope the future brings us more classic fights.

I'm dropping showtime from my cable package over them dropping boxing it's crap

Showtime boxing seemed to be 2nd tier to HBO Boxing but in actuality was the showcase to the Tyson's, Chavez's and Mayweather's. HBO might have been a forerunner for cable network Boxing but Showtime was always there as a major player. I will never forget slept on fights like Ebo Elder vs Courtney Burton, and I will never forget the best fight of all time Corrales vs Castillo and Showtime broadcast that. 40 years in the game and the landscape of TV viewing happened. Streaming services became more prominent and HBO Boxing left and everything changed. Mayweather signing with Showtime was a monumental push for the company but the viewing landscape had started changing and still is. HBO had Gatti vs Ward trilogy but Showtime had Corrales vs Castillo which one my opinion is the best fight of all time. Thank you Showtime for the 40 years of Boxing but the viewing landscape has changed and matured to a different level. Thanks for the memories.

Showtime Boxing introduced me to boxing when I was a kid in the 90s… really sad to see them go…

Hbo now showtime wtf
