HBO'S budget in 2016... less than $25 million.

I think this means Bob is going to have to go to ppv and stack the cards. Remember he tried to do a ppb with Roman headlining

He'll have to actually "invest" by doing so. Oh the horror! Haha

boxing is dead.

NO ONE wants to watch garbage no name fighters.

Think about it:

Canelo/GGG
Ward/Kovalev
Crawford/Postol


Then what??? Scary isn't it.

It's not bad. Just way too small to carry an entire sport.

Nah...just still in the dinosaur age because it's run by dinosaurs.

What makes boxing worth investing in right now? I don't think boxing is worth spending a bigger budget on right now when the ratings are coming back just average for what is suppose to be "Big Fights"

I don't think HBO way is going to last more than a YEAR!

It'll last more than a year, it will just get smaller each year as the ratings continue to get smaller compared to their original series money makers.

When you compare $25 million to the rest of the sports landscape this is VERY tiny.

It's a great thing for boxers that Haymon created PBC. Much better potential to earn.

No more $15k main event purses on ESPN Friday Night Fights as well. That was embarrassingly low.

HBO used to have a $100 million budget in 1999.

Boxing might be the only sport in the entire world were license fees have actually decreased. That is embarrassing... thanks to old guys like Arum.

What is your source? Please post sources when creating threads people.

Two of those would be PPV's though which doesn't affect their budget.
