Why did HBO stop making Boxing Legendary Nights?

Because it wreaked havoc on HBO? The failure to secure the right licenses weakened HBO and left them open to having to eat terrible fights from Top Rank like Margarito-Kyvelos among other calamities. They spent more effort on that silly show than they did on the boxing going on on their network

Gatti- Ward trilogy Bernard Hopkins vs Jean Pascal II ( they made one about George foreman winning against moorer so make one with Bernard)

Ones off the top my head I wanna see are.... Pavlik vs taylor 1 Hopkins vs tito Mosley vs margarito Pacman vs marquez 1 Morales vs pacman 1 And in a few years from now Berto vs ortiz Khan vs miadana Martinez vs williams 1

A few years back it was rumored they were going to do another series and it was also rumored that the second edition would include Tito/Vargas and Tito/Hopkins within that series. BUT, “rumors” have just as much credence as mythical matchups!

loved that show they also need to do a pavlik taylor 1

I'd rather see them do episodes on older fights. More interesting to me to see episodes about 70s/80s fights than reliving some fight from a few years ago. Most of those legendary fights from the 70s/80s have many DVDs and videos about them already. I'd still watch though. Yes bring em back.

it'll come back its not a show that can be brought back every season. they'd run out of legendary fights. There probably wait til they have the right amount to continue it. iunno

Those were some of the best boxing documentary's ever. Great music, intro, interviews and footage. I really wish they make more but it's probably too late now.

Would be nice if they did some new ones...HBO was supposed to have some new ones but I guess that never panned out... I enjoyed them...as I think most ppl did...

It was just a mini-series they had in 2003 with a set number of episodes, not a continuing series. They shouldn't make more episodes unless they cut out all the dumb myths that some of the others had.

Vitali Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis needs to part of that. Definitely... the best HW fight I have seen in the real time... HBO is probably cutting down on boxing. Maybe with Larry Merchant less involved, the balance is changing. Perhaps Epix could replace HBO.
