Could sports give Showmax the chance to win the local streaming wars?

When it comes to streaming, the competition for your time is quite intense as many services go out of their way to secure content that will convince you to subscribe with them. The biggest player is obviously Netflix which has by far the biggest catalogue of original content, followed by Amazon Prime, who is also steadily growing its amount of unique and exclusive top-quality content. On the local front, we then also have Showmax, the MultiChoice-owned streaming company which doesn’t offer much in the way of unique high-quality exclusive content, but probably has the widest amount of studios that it has rights to, including all those excellent HBO shows which prove a good drawcard for the service.
