    HBO should open the door to Haymon fighters again

    I think that's the only way for their boxing division to stay relevant.

    They can't depend on Golovkin and Canelo to carry the whole load.

    Idk that they got the money or TV dates to work with anyone new these days with a big roster to work from. I mean its damn near like they are in the winding things down to go outta the boxing business right now.

      Hbo couldnt care less about boxing

      They make tons of money off their shows

      And they arent in the business of paying fighters big purses anymore which haymon is notorious for

          Yeah, nice to see you folks admit PBC model is an utter failure with most of its fighters being put on the shelf for long periods of time.

          HBO could care less.

            HBO Boxing has lost Arum's stable. All they have is Golden Boy, K2, and Main Events now.

            Putting some of Haymon's fighters back in the mix could fill that void. It would be a win-win situation for both parties.

                PBC fighters who fought once last year:
                Thurman, Porter, Broner, Berto, Peterson, Stevenson, Lara, Quillin, Jacobs, Degale, Khan, etc. If this is what you call "doing quite well" then go and find someone to argue with.

                HBO's boxing department is just bonus to their subscribers. They have Game of Thrones that have smashed all records in current popularity. I didn't even watch a single season, yet I see it being talked about everywhere. HBO is doing fine bro.

                  HBO is doing fine. But HBO Boxing is not.

                    Imagine Sky Sports or BoxNation saying... all Eddie Hearn fighters are banned!

                    Yup, that's America!
