Showtime's Out, Amazon's In: A New Era in Boxing Broadcast

Premier Boxing Champions (PBC), the squad behind PBC's hard-hitters, is in the market for a new broadcaster. Their old pal Showtime is bowing out of the sports scene in 2024. From insiders Ariel Helwani and Michael Benson, word on the street is that RBC and Amazon Prime are just about ready to shake hands on a deal. Chatter about this tag team started in October, way before Showtime officially threw in the towel.

Amazon Prime isn't new to the game – they've been playing ball with the NFL in the U.S. Showtime's last hurrah in the boxing world is set for December 16, and it's on the house. A lineup of fighters for this swan song event is already taking shape.
