HBO boxing on 2.5 month hiatus!

[The Big Dunn]

How does a a moment of inactivity make it a joke? when they put on shows at least its good and competitive fights, for the most part.


HBO has been doing great since the beginning of last year. we're arguably getting two matchup of the years on regular HBO this year: gamboa-crawford, kovalev- hopkins. among others. jennings-perez. geale-golovkin, etc.

Did you read the article? If so, did you read this part:

and the likes of the hopelessly overmatched Blake Caparello and Cedric Agnew

Can maybe now you understand my point it was same as Garcia/salka?

At least they're not losing money unlike SHO.

So who says Showtime is losing money?

They can't even pay artists for their posters.

Just look at Money Mayweather's undercards in his next fight.

Their ratings aren't exactly stellar. This is a down year for them ratings wise as well.

Yeah, I think Marquez-Alvarado and Crawford-Gamboa are the two highest rated fights this year and they both did around 1.3 million. It's really been a down year for both networks, but at least the November lineup looks really promising for HBO. Crawford-Beltran and Hopkins-Kovalev should do really good numbers and are good fights on paper

I don't give a **** about ratings and business. I wanna see some ****ing fights! Can you imagine if sho did the same thing. We'll be screwed!

Those were the best possible opponents available for Kovalev. What don't you understand, Dunn? On top of that.... both guys were at least undefeated and in the same division as Kovalev. Both guys are top 20 LHWs.


They wanted a unification with Adonis Stevenson, he didn't want the fight. Is Kovalev supposed to retire? He got paid peanuts for those fights, nobody was hurt by those fights


No, I didn't read the article.

SHO has tons of fighters with recognizable names. Names that HBO helped built up in Haymon's stable. Why are they not fighting? Why aren't you outraged at SHO? You started this polarizing thread ****ting on HBO when you know the clown team Schaefer and Haymon took all their fighters with them. What do you expect?

HBO need buy these low weight fights. A lot good fight going unknown.
