HBO is Leaving Boxing After 45 Years, Network Announces
- Thread starter STAR-69
- Start date
Bitch ass niggas hooked their wagons on the Roman Gonzales and GGG hype trains instead of promoting good American talent. Good for them. Showtime has been running circles around them for years.
Boxing has slipped down so far I'm really not surprised. The last fight I watched and paid for was Mayweather against Pac. The boxers today don't have what it takes to generate interest in their fights.
Not to mention again the supposed rematch between Mayweather against Pacquiao. Seriously do either of them think people are going to see them dancing and hugging each other again? Not to mention that Mayweather-Pacquiao fight did nothing to improve interest in boxing.
Sad I've been a boxing fan since the time when boxing aired every week Friday Night Fights on ABC, yeah free TV. Back in the black & white days. But today there's little interest.

They fucked up when they let Mayweather go.....
It was over since then
It was over since then
there is plenty of good young talent in the sport right now and this year there have been plenty of great fights. Fox just put up a huge investment to put fights on primetime so the sport ain't going anywhere.
What the shit!!!
Bad news, but Jim Lampley, Harold Lederman and Larry Merchant were terrible.
This Needs to Come Back
That was my shit
Al Bernstein, Al Albert, Sean O' Grady and Bill Macatee
I was TIGHT when that shit went away
Welp this will save me some money on my DTV bill because the ONLY reason why I subscribe to both HBO and Shotime is strictly for boxing. Aside from no more boxing on HBO, I wonder where my boy Max gonna go. Most likely ESPN since he's already on First Take. I already got ESPN+ so its all good. I bet they raise their price from $4.99 a month to at least $9.99-$14.99.
Fox may actually be trying to save boxing. Boxing ratings have been slipping. An yeah I know there's talent out there but the interest isn't what it once was. This is one time I'm actually pulling for Fox. I don't want to see boxing disappear.
So Was I....This Show Gave People a Look at Alot of Future Champions On the Come Up...You Literally Got to See the Whole -Started From the Bottom Now We Here- On a Weekly Basis
Good.
Fuck Lampley, fuck Kellerman, fuck Lederman, fuck Larry Merchant, Roy is cool, and fuck vice president of sports Peter Nelson.

how is that ESPN+?
It's actually dope. I havent jumped all the way in it but as far as watching the Pacquio fight and the last Crawford fight, it was flawless as far as HD stream. Just streamed it through my Roku with zero issues. I watched them Duke games with Zion and those played perfect as well. No complaints for only $4.99. I'm sure they have a lot of archived classics to peep but like I said, I havent really explored it like that.
yea that was stupid, they couldve made him a partner but they wouldnt be able to fuck him over money wise...
one of the only reasons I kept hbo was because of boxing...
cutting this cable cord about to get real easy...
At least we still have strip clubs
Maybe you aren't into the sport like you once were, but the interest is still there as evidenced by the Canelo/GGG ppv buys, and boxing being back on non-premium channels.
The sport isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Lol yeah Mayweather was straight selfish and I don't blame him
He and Paq just snatched that bag and pissed off the entire public after all that hype lmao
Either of them could've given some.of that shiny to Thurman, or and of those new wave guys- but those guys are BOOOOOORING
Boxing needs stars, plain and simple. Only reason we're watching a lot of these new guys is because we grew up watching boxing and we are residual fans.
Thurman? That nigga did nothing to elevate his status to make himself worthy. And this is coming from someone that was a fan. Spence got the rub by giving Floyd a black eye in sparring.
They made plenty of money. Fuck them
That's why I said all of em are BOORING. The only one with personality is Broner and he ain't it. HBO signed him but he couldn't cut it at the real weight that mattered
And that's this is. Times change.
Damn near 50 years and they wanna call it quits.
Always liked Lampley don't really care for the other 2
