HBO has officially canceled boxing for April 14th

I wonder if HBO passed on the opportunity to screen Ortiz-Berto II for the sake of Gamboa-Rios??

They'll be kicking themselves now if that is the case.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!

Dear HBO,

Go on with the show. Fill in with the undercard, fill in with replacements, we will still watch, we want to watch boxing!

Amen Brother AMEN!!

Good. I pay good money to get HBO and i am a boxing fan that doesnt want to watch crap fights on a channel i am paying for. Arum andTop Rank knew that Gamboa wasnt going to do the fight before this all went down. Only a fool would think Gamboa all of the sudden decided to bail. TR tried to strong arm him and it didint work. Tried to set-up fake argument and fight for publicity and HBO didnt buy into it. Good for them.

You pay for HBO regardless of what fights are on it. no matter what fight is on HBO you still have to pay your cable bill.

There's something messed up going on here. The UFC event that got cancelled was scheduled for around the same date ... now this boxing event gets cancelled too?

Damn that sucks. I rather have HBO save their money then to have Rios fight someone not worth watching on that day. It does suck that they couldn't put Alvarado vs Rios on that date. would have been cool at 140 Rios didn't do anything wrong but it is what it is.

Unbelievable... Why are you so worried about how much money HBO saves or makes? What, are you getting a piece of it or something?

So we don't get Rios vs some bum. Like what Berto was able to get away with for years.

So instead we get Rios vs..... Nobody. And an HBO void. This is funny. Its like turning down water in a desert because you "prefer" root beer.

Like the old saying "if you give them an inch they will take a mile". Good for HBO. Sucks that there is no fight but time for the new regime to bring HBO back to the top of boxing world and get the masses excited. Not where every week i come on BS to hear guys scream about crap fights and when are these guys going to step up.

Whats wrong with a stay busy fight every once in a while? Not every fight can be a superfight, or an entertaining war. All the greats of boxing have done stay busy fights. SRR, Ali, Louis. Not every one of their fights was a megafight. I guess you prefer a world where there are only megafights, but thats way too seldom for me. I want to eat and breathe boxing. Basically, aside from Broner, HBO has been completely silent this year concerning boxing. And u defend that... Im on the verge of throwing up my hands in disgust.

HBO need to enforce quality control and work within their budget.
