In a bit of news that is sure to make UFC CEO Dana White happy, Showtime Sports will officially shut down after nearly 40 years of delivering world-class boxing and MMA.
The news comes weeks removed from an initial report claiming that Showtime Sports would end its run in 2024. That no longer appears to be the case with Paramount President and CEO Chris McCarthy sending an email to employees confirming that they would no longer produce sports at the end of 2023, bringing an end to world-class boxing and Bellator MMA on the platform.
