Showtime Boxing didn’t so much dip their toes back into the post-pandemic boxing pool as much as it jumped in head first, announcing an eight date schedule on Wednesday that will take the premium cable platform through December.

A day after Top Rank wrapped up their seven-week summer series, Showtime and Premier Boxing Champions announced two pay-per-view cards, on September 26 and October 24, plus six cards on Showtime. Showtime hasn’t televised a live boxing card since a ShoBox card on March 13.

Prices for the PPV cards are still to be announced, though Showtime Sports President Stephen Espinoza said they would be in line with recent PPV prices.

All of the shows will take place inside a “bubble” at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Conn.

“We weren’t going to come back just for the sake of coming back. We wanted to come back at a high level with meaningful fights – with fights which would remind the public why they’re excited about the sport of boxing,” said Espinoza. “So, we put together a schedule week after week of competitive fights, with big names, with meaningful fights. Before we know it, this sport is going to be back where it should be in terms of momentum and positive energy.”
