Re: The Role of HBO and Showtime in Promoting Boxing in the US
HBO and Showtime have played pivotal roles in promoting boxing in the US, with iconic fight broadcasts like Tyson vs. Holyfield and Mayweather’s career-defining bouts. Their extensive pay-per-view reach and deep investment in production elevated the sport. Personally, I appreciate how these networks helped shape the narrative around boxing, making it mainstream and introducing fans to legendary matchups.
