i don't get why hbo hasn't done what al haymon is doing now.

[lizard_man]

they should have done that a long time ago.

[US Dirk Killer]

I don't understand.... your question

[El-blanco]

As in gathering all the fighters under one roof? I think boxing is a small part of what hbo does, not sure they care to dedicate a lot of resources to boxing.

[Robbie Barrett]

Too many fighters not enough air time. They are happy cherry picking fights.

I don't understand.... your question

sign fighters to their own stable and cut out the promoters. have all in house hbo fights.

[The Gambler1981]

Buy time on sports networks to build your guys then have the main fights be on HBO have everyone be on HBO contracts.

HBO couldn't do that because they kept shrinking their budget, you can't embark on a plan like that on a shoe string budget.

Boxing on National TV makes allot is sense. You can make more money from advertising revenue than you can from PPV buys.

You can make more money from advertising revenue than you can from PPV buys.

Not without a big fight...and even then it's unproven.

When you are the only or the biggest game in town, why change? That has been HBO's philosophy. They will consider changes when their ratings start to go down.

HBO boxing wouldn't be HBO boxing if it did what Haymon is doing.
