DANA WHITE has reacted to reports of Showtime Boxing's demise and said 'it's about time that s***** product is off the air'.<\/p>\n

The UFC CEO said "F*** Espinoza" as he called out Showtime boss Stephan Espinoza over a potential major TV channel change for boxing in the US.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

White and Espinoza had a close relationship as the pair worked together in 2017 to promote the Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather fight.<\/p>\n

The fight was a success after selling a mammoth amount of pay-per-view sales and making the pair a tremendous amount of money.<\/p>\n

Despite their financial victory, the two have a strained relationship and have had many bust-ups since.<\/p>\n

White opened up about his feelings on Showtime reportedly leaving the boxing game entirely at a recent post-fight press conference for 'Dana White's Contender Series'.<\/p>\n

White said: "That\u2019s incredibly unfortunate. The production of that show is fantastic, the guy who runs Showtime Boxing is a great human being. It\u2019s unfortunate to hear this."<\/p>\n

But then White made fun of the situation and cursed Espinoza and his TV network.<\/p>\n

He added: "F*** Espinoza. It's about time that S***** product was off the air."<\/p>\n

Earlier this year Showtime ended its 47-year-old standalone identity as a premium cable channel by becoming part of Paramount+.<\/p>\n

The takeover of the company may mean the end of Showtime Boxing which has been running since 1986.<\/p>\n

For boxing fans a major TV channel change could be on its way if Paramount+ choose to end the streaming service. <\/p>\n

Showtime Boxing has broadcast many notable fights over the years for Mike Tyson, Floyd Mayweather Jr and Tyson Fury. <\/p>\n
