Sick of all these ambiguous comparisons.
I'll update as fights are announced,
and you are allowed to change your vote.

In NY, HBO is normally at least $5 more expensive than Showtime in cable packages and $6 more online.
If you really subscribe to both networks for boxing like me,
then the "extra cost" to watch boxing is a consideration.

Like a slave, I'll consider the "cost to watch boxing" subscribing to some form of live TV, and two Showtime subscriptions.
So per month, I'll approx HBO +$5 and then add whatever PPV as $70 HD.
Both of these numbers might be a little low.

In terms of fights, HBO/TR/GBP get the end of 2016.
But in my opinion, they lose major points because you need an extra $140 to watch 2 of their cards.
It would suck if PBC is moving big fights off of network TV/ESPN.
However, I'm not ready to say that's the case based on Showtime's fight announcements.
There are many other marquee matchups left in the PBC stable.

Of course, PBC wins right now based on both number of fights and overall quality.
HBO can reverse this when they begin announcing future fights.

Update

December 17
Oleksandr Usyk will fight Damir Belyo on HBO

HBO Latino also has the Shabranskyy (GB fighter) vs Barrera card in December. Are you counting all Haymon-fighter bouts vs just those on HBO? Just Showtime vs HBO?All Haymon bouts vs any involving HBO, GB, and/or TR?

There were TR and GB cards tonight as well.....and ShoBox.

Trying to stick to the main cards, stuff that would be PTBF material.
For HBO, I'll include all shows on the main network because that has some significance.
Also, any big show that GBP or TR promote without HBO backing.

Showtime also has Joshua-Molina in Dec, though I dont know if either is with Haymon.
