GGG-Canelo is great & all, BUT...

Why am I still paying for HBO?

I pay $15 a month for HBO streaming, and I have HBO pretty much only for boxing. Through June I will have paid $90 to get the following (# means title fights):

• Takashi Miura vs. Mickey Roman
• #Francisco Vargas vs. Miguel Berchelt
• David Lemieux vs. Curtis Stevens / Gamboa vs. Alvarado
• #Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Jason Sosa / Usyk-Hunter / Gvozdyk-Gonzalez
• #Terence Crawford vs. Felix Diaz / Beltran vs. Maicelo

$90 for NINE fights (3 title fights). That's it. That's $10 for every fight HBO shows.

Now I don't want to start an HBO vs. Showtime debate - I have no allegiance to either and I really don't understand why some people do - I just want to see good boxing.

I pay $11 a month to stream Showtime and I only watch boxing. Through June I will have paid $66 to get the following:

• #Badou Jack vs. James DeGale / #Pedraza vs. Davis
• #Frampton vs. Santa Cruz / #Zlaticanin vs. Garcia
• Broner vs. Granados / #Avanesyan vs. Peterson / Browne vs. Williams
• #Garcia vs. Thurman / Lubia vs. Cota
• #Linares vs. Crolla II
• Berto vs. Porter / #Charlo vs. Hatley
• #Joshua vs. Klitschko
• #Davis vs. Walsh
• #Russell vs. Escandon / Dirrell vs. Uzcategui / Barthelemy vs. Rilikh
• #Brook vs. Spence
• #Stevenson vs. Fonfara / Alvarez vs. Pascal

$66 for TWENTY fights (12 title fights). Plus Extreme fights plus ShoBox fights.

As a boxing fan, isn't the best thing to do drop HBO, keep Showtime for boxing, and buy the better PPVs?

Crawford and Loma twice a year and not much else doesn't seem worth the price of an HBO subscription.

Maybe after Game of thrones ends this year HBO will have a bigger budget for boxing especially now that it's perceived that boxing is "BACK". (Whatever that means)

Damn is that it, costs $50 a month for Sky Sports and Boxnation, UK pays double. Enough money left over for 2 PPVs. See its nonsense we pay less. Then we have to pay for PPVs on top of that.

the Sky sub is much worse. Having said that, I use it for footy, cricket and tennis so its not bad.

But our PPVs are $70 (about 50 pounds) instead of 16 pounds for Sky PPV.

NetFlix will feature Game Of Roids Produced by Manny Pacquiao. about 10 seasons

Yikes. In NZ, basic Sky (50 odd garbage channels) plus Sky Sport - no Sky Movies and other plus plus channels - is $104.80 NZD per month. Then PPV's range between $40-50.

I love HBO for the boxing and lots of other good movies and shows. It's part of my direct TV package along with Showtime and other boxing and MMA channels. I never buy fights. I wait a week and watch the same fight for free.

You never read posts you just come in and start typing. His post specifically says "AS A BOXING FAN" wtf does Game of Thrones have to do with this?
