That's all fine but at no point iHBO paying 1m+ for the likes of Lara. Maybe if he was bringing a MW beltWe're in a day and age of HBO continually cutting their boxing budget in favor of programs like GOT. From a business standpoint it's understandable. From a fans standpoint it's horrible. The Stevenson/Kovalev fight has been nixed twice because of HBO. The first was when they passed on matching Showtime's offer to Stevenson and the second was refusing to help Duva win the purse bid. HBO is a part of Time Warner, they have more money & TV stations than PBC. It took PBC in order for HBO to start broadcasting fights on TruTV. Maybe if they start investing in boxing, instead of cutting their boxing budget every year, they'll see some returns.
Here's a great three part series on HBO's move away from boxing by Hauser
