Showtime has chronicled 37 years of boxing with “End of an Era,” a 38-minute documentary looking back on many of the greatest fights and personalities through the eyes of the premium network’s broadcasters.
The network aired its final show this past Saturday from Minneapolis.
The video was produced by Emmy Award-winning Sam Shouvlin and Emmy-nominated Nick Manning.
“After nearly 40 years of documenting the sweet science – from ShoBox: The New Generation to the biggest pay-per-view events in television history – ‘End of an Era’ gives viewers a backstage pass to some of the greatest bouts in boxing history, including the ‘Bite Fight’ between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield, the epic clash between Diego Corrales and Jose Luis Castillo, which many call the greatest fight of all time, and the exhilarating trilogy of bouts between Rafael Márquez and Israel Vázquez,” Showtime said in a news release.”
The documentary was set against the backdrop of Showtime’s final pay-per-view card, on Nov. 25, on which David Benavidez knocked out Demetrius Andrade.
