I am Stephen Espinoza, head of SHOWTIME Sports. I'll be here to talk about our sports programming on Thursday 11/3 at 4pm ET/1pm PT/8pm BT. Ask me anything!
Hey Reddit sports fans,
I am Stephen Espinoza, G.M. of SHOWTIME Sports, which I've headed up for the past five years. Just last week, we announced a lineup of boxing matches that rivals any we’ve ever had before. It’s a series of seven fights matching top-10 rated champions versus top-10 rated challengers in boxing’s deepest, most talented divisions. It is what you, the fans, have demanded. The best are fighting the best on SHOWTIME and the results are undeniable. Here’s what we’ve got for you.
- Jesus Cuellar (No. 5) vs. Abner Mares (No. 6)
- Jermall Charlo (No. 3) vs. Julian Williams (No. 6)
- Badou Jack (No. 2) vs. James DeGale (No. 1)
- Carl Frampton (No. 1) vs. Leo Santa Cruz II (No. 2)
- Dejan Zlaticanin (No. 1) vs. Mikey Garcia (No. 10)
- Adrien Broner (No. 3) vs. Adrian Granados
- Danny Garcia (No. 4) vs. Keith Thurman (No. 1)
We'll also be bringing you one of boxing’s biggest and brightest new stars when undefeated Anthony Joshua defends his heavyweight world championship against Eric Molina in Manchester, England. The entire series of can’t-miss fights begins Saturday, Dec. 10.
Beyond boxing, we're excited to share our new SHOWTIME Sports documentary "ONE & DONE," which follows the NBA’s No. 1 draft pick Ben Simmons from his native Australia to the top of the rookie class in the NBA. ONE & DONE premieres Friday night, Nov. 4 at 9pm ET/PT on SHOWTIME. Check out the trailer.
I'll be back Thursday, Nov. 3 at 4pm ET/1pm PT/9pm BT to answer your questions about SHOWTIME, boxing, and whatever else is on your mind. Ask me anything!
