    HBO & Sho upcoming schedule = Awful

    Did you guys see the promo for HBO's upcoming fights? Not a single good competitive fight till the end of April. One average fight in Kov-Pascal.

    As for showtime, it looks like they don't have any boxing on at all lol.

    The next good card on TV is on nbc March 7. That's 6 weeks!

    Well, for the paying public it is pathetic. Seems like there's no quality control on these **** fights we keep getting.

      Kovalev vs Pascal is better than average. Plus it has Cunningham-Glazkov, decent undercard to a very good main event.

      GGG vs Murray, what's to complain about here?

        HBO has fallen off. They're acting like they don't care about the sport at all. And while Wilder-Stiverne was good matchmaking, what's up with Showtime having no fights in Feb?

            Murray is pretty awful. You must not have seen any of his other fights against D class fighters and not looking good at all. He did ok against crippled Martinez but in hindsight it wasn't impressive at all. He wont be competitive and be ko'd quick.

            Glazkov is another pretty poor fighter that belongs on Fox not Premium level fights.

              Yes, I don't understand why people never call HBO out on all the pointless fights they show. They continuously have these showcase fights and other fights like yesterday that nobody was even demanding. One thing i hate is networks and promoters force feeding us crap like last night.

              Showtime probably won't be showing any championship level fights for a few months. We might get TMT ishe headliner on shobox.

                  Murray is ok, nothing special obviously, but GGG is cleaning out the division of the only competition that will face him. It deserves to be shown.

                  Glazkov is average at best, but hopefully Cunningham finally catches a break here, who has more than paid his dues to be on HBO. Unreal that this is his debut.

                    This might not be a very popular opinion I dunno...

                    I think HBO used to be dynamite for boxing when Larry Merchant was working.

                    Max Kellerman just doesn't deliver the same kind of humour or atmosphere as the GOAT analyst did.

                    I can watch even a bad fight so long as old Larry was there with his amusing quips and fighting/arguing with other officials and boxers

                    That's part of the reason I think it's died a bit.

                    You can buy that kind of charisma! haha
