There was a time when boxing fans would queue up at their local movie theaters to catch glimpses of major fights that took place weeks prior. They leaned towards family radios, listening to Don Dunphy narrate the live actions of legends like Joe Louis and Henry Armstrong. The eras of Howard Cosell and Muhammad Ali on Wide World of Sports, and the heyday of USA Tuesday Night Fights, showcased luminaries like Larry Holmes, George Foreman, and a young Roy Jones Jr. HBO provided iconic moments, including Mike Tyson's shocking loss to Buster Douglas, a bout many thought was a prank for those who missed it. Showtime, on the other hand, was home to one of the greatest fights of the twenty-first century, as Diego Corrales overcame adversity to stop Jose Luis Castillo. But times change. The recent news, reported by BoxingScene and other media outlets, marks a jarring moment for at least two generations of boxing fans. Showtime, a central broadcaster of the sport, will no longer be "Showtime" after this year. This transition feels different from previous shifts in media, as it carries a sense of finality. The premium cable era, which included HBO and Showtime, has ended abruptly. HBO bowed out after Saul Alvarez vs. Gennadiy Golovkin II, while Showtime, despite a critically acclaimed year, has set a countdown clock to its exit. Showtime's impact on boxing, since its debut with the Marvin Hagler-John Mugabi card in 1986, has been immense. It was home to legends like Tyson, Julio Cesar Chavez, and Floyd Mayweather. Memorable fights, such as the "Bite Fight" and the heist of Pernell Whitaker, were showcased on Showtime. It played a pivotal role in promoting lighter weight fighters and hosted the Super Six super middleweight tournament. Despite this exit, boxing will persist. ESPN, ESPN+, DAZN, Amazon, and other potential players will step in. Fans have already adapted, and the sport's question remains: what's next? Boxing always looks ahead to the next big fight, and while lamentations may abound for a short while, fans will find new platforms for their favorite sport. Boxing will continue, and its future may bring improvements or challenges. But one thing is certain: Showtime's chapter in the sport has reached its end.
