An Era Has Changed - HBO Needs A New Team

[The Hammer]

They definitely should get rid of Kellerman, he's awful.

Max comes on like a 14 year girl with his crushes on certain boxers.

Shocked at how many people like listening to Jones Jr.

NO! I think HBO should stick with a International Fighters Format! Given their budget they need guys who are willing to fight for cheap and the Foreign guys are far more affordable.

So No I think they should still stick with Peter Nelson and ride things out and try to build up new international stars! Ratings will suck though so I don't know how long they will stick with Nelson trying to showcase International Talent! Still have GGG and Canelo for now

"No he doesn't Max... what he needs to do..."

"I don't know about that Jim..."

If I were the head of HBO Sports, I would make the initiative to create "HBO Boxeo" for new metrics. We are in the era of 4K marketing bliss. Imagine if HBO Boxeo had legends like Duran with two fresh but amazing Spanish commentators. HBO needs to collect on the Hispanic market.

With the new Hispanic subscriptions they can carry over profits for regular HBO Boxing and it's budget

I like this idea.

I'm thinking the same thing. They can pay for consultancy doe... Keep RJJ and keep scouting for new personalities, rehearse, protocol...

Bernstein, Ranallo, Paulie... those guys put the HBO team to shame.

Why don't people assume the decline is because of commentatory. New generations watching

because the decline has nothing to do with commentary and everything to do with the budget.

hbo is trash because they don't put on big fights anymore, not because of Lanpley and kellerman.

and it's only about to get worst.

arum has went to hbo, kovalev is contemplating retirement, and golovkin is probably about to get his ass kicked in 3 weeks.

so it will be canelo as the face of hbo boxing with no opponents to generate big numbers. hbo is ****ed and so is gbp.

2018 will probably be the last year for hbo boxing. what a shame.

I remember the days of

Marquez vs Pacquiao
Hopkins vs Calzaghe
Margarito vs Mosley
Mayweather vs Corrales
Cotto vs Clottey
Lewis vs Klitschko
Ward vs Dawson
Martinez vs Williams
Winky vs Taylor
Berto vs Ortiz

now we get fights like berchelt vs miura and cotto vs kamegai.

the end is near

Lampley is good, TBH he is the best on HBO, Roy Jones is biased and sounds very dumb on commentating and Kellerman sounds like a horny kid commentating. Keep Lampley, Lederman and fire the rest

lederman has gone blind. he can't score a fight for **** these days. he should be the first person fired

no precursor has always been commentary. do you think if HBO had treated Mayweather with more respect with proper disciplinary action from its commentators that Floyd would have driven HBO at least better than what it is today?

karma.

true but his voice and commentary isn't as ****ty as kellermans

Floyd didn't leave hbo because of commentators. he left because hbo didn't match the 250 million dollar offer that Showtime gave him.
