    It just says that because there are now no fights on the horizon. I checked the schedule on Monday and all that was listed was the Tuesday fox sports 1 card. If there was even 1 fight scheduled, it would be listed and this "new fight schedule coming soon" would not be listed.

      Same goes for Showtime. Not even 1 card on its schedule for either ShoBox or Showtime Championship Boxing.

      This sport is dead as dirt in America.
      HBO has literally not had 5 fights on the schedule at the same time, in at least 2 years now, yet that has never drawn out the "boxing is dead" chatter, especially from you.

      sad seeing "boxing fans" wanting to see boxing fail.

        Amazing how HBO can still come up with fights fans would spend time discussing endlessly despite having few fighters in its stable and here are Showtime and PBC with more than 200 fighters, yet associated with death and destruction of the sport.

        Haymon needs to let these fighters go. They're rotting right now.

          Not many are discussing Ward/Kov which is the only fight on schedule.

          Sadly too cause i think its a fantastic fight

            I see this comment made a lot from people that are PRO PBC. One thing I dont understand though is most (not all) that support PBC want HBO, Top Rank and GBP to fail so isnt that the same thing?

            Personally a real fan shouldnt want anything of boxing to fail. I think if anyone is anti-PBC it should be for other reasons than what people complain about. To me PBC has just been a disappointment and not because its more boxing on on free T.V., I just thought with all that $ and all those fighters we would see the best vs. the best all the time. People always bring up, "well HBO doesnt do that" well I think we were all hoping that PBC wouldnt be like HBO.

              No one wants HBO to fail; the more folks committing money to airing fights, the better (Top Rank and Golden Boy have developed a well-established reputation for shenanigans, so their continued existence is whatever).

              If HBO had their $50m boxing budget, and was focused on only putting their money behind fights like Kovalev-Ward, Lomachenko-Walters, Gonzalez-Estrada, Gonzalez-Inoue, unification fights with Crawford at 140, a return of top-flight cruiserweights, legit development fights for guys like Joseph "JoJo" Diaz Jr and Gilberto Ramirez, and good fights featuring their marquee fighters (Alvarez, Golovkin, Kovalev), everyone would be more than happy to carry both HBO and Showtime for fights.

              HBO has continued to cut their budget, down to the bare bones, has put on a largely junk fight schedule for the last two years, and no one here seems willing to say anything about it.

                    Also hilarious. But at least it's a bigger fight than PBC has ever put on (or has the ability to put on).

                      Of course new fights are coming soon, they probably in a office somewhere in Vegas laughing at fans and media people overact to RUMORS

                      Hopefully the wait is worth it with some big match ups to end the year
