“Coupling live EliteXC events on SHOWTIME with our acclaimed boxing programs has given this network the most explosive 1-2 punch in sports television,” said Ken Hershman, SHOWTIME Senior Vice President and General Manager, Sports and Event Programming. “The Best and Beyond is a great celebration of the drama of boxing and the exhilaration of mixed martial arts.”
In the midst of its 22nd year, SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING has consistently provided viewers with the most competitive, meaningful match-ups in the sport. With evenly matched fights, surprising outcomes and new champions, the flagship series of SHOWTIME Sports has set itself apart by televising fights on the first Saturday of every month.
The acclaimed ShoBox series debuted in July 2001. It features up-and-coming prospects determined to make a mark and eventually fight for a chance at a world title. It is pure, basic boxing, reminiscent of the golden days of the sport. An amazing 28 fighters coming out of ShoBox have gone on to capture world titles.
Los Angeles-based EliteXC delivers the most exciting entertainment experience in the world of mixed martial arts (MMA) with live arena-based entertainment events, cable television programming on Showtime Networks and community-driven interactive broadband entertainment. The company has established a partnership with the CBS Television Network that brings live MMA to a primetime broadcast television for the first time.
ShoXC patterned after ShoBox, pits developing fighters in tough match-ups. ShoXC acts as a springboard for the future stars and champions of EliteXC.
The creative director of “Sho Sports: The Best and Beyond” is Jonathan Heaps. The program was produced by Eric Jones and Marc Youngblood. After its initial airing on July 19, the program will be repeated several times on SHOWTIME and made available via SHOWTIME On Demand throughout the month of July.
