Where does HBO go from here?

[nickp91]

Peter Nelson really has to go

[bluebeam]

One thing is for sure....after G3 vs Canelo replay, I'm canceling HBO. At least wifey will be happy lol

that's ppv tho

why do you need hbo for ggg vs canelo?

[Sup]

I dont know but they killed one of the ****ing dragons on GoT


Mother****ers man

They finna give us ice dragons n shiiieeet doe

[El Malo.]

That show smells like MAYO!!!

[hectari]

So HBO boxing will consist of 2 Canelo PPV's a year and a cpl super flyweight fights in between?

Pretty much

Its almost pretty positive Andre Ward is jumping ship he already said his HBO contract is finito.

All they will show is Canelo, maybe GGG if he loses and they give him one tune up and then they rematch Canelo, and then Roman Chocolatito gonzalez

Who else they got David LEmiuex?

Klitschko is retired so they got nobody.

[hectari]

HBO is done at the top level of boxing unless they make a big move. They'll have a couple big fights a year and some smaller cards. But Showtime and now ESPN have passed them

HBO either has to create some fighters from nowhere and hype them lure Haymon back, or just end the boxing division all together.

I think they will end it soon.

and Golden Boy will once again go crawling back to Arum and bring Canelo to ESPN and have him fight there and ESPN PPV.

that's ppv tho

So I can watch and record the replay the following week.

[HanzGruber]

If they cut boxing and make the final season of GOT 10 episodes I wouldn't be mad. They're practically dead anyway

So I can watch and record the replay the following week.

YouTube the next day is quicker

Boxing is not doing well everywhere, not just HBO. There are too many inactive fighters that are wasting their prime years. Fans should have boxing every weekend and not miss a single week. Fortunately for these promoters/networks, fans are not hard to please. Give fans one meaningful fight every 3 months they'll say who says boxing is dead? Even though the winner or loser would go inactive for extended periods of time.

In a way HBO is doing the right thing by not giving in to these promoters'/fighters' excesses. Give them the guarantees you can afford and promoters/fighters can get the extra amount they are asking for from the PPV sales. No sales, no extras. Not many people watched your fight, why would you be given extra?

Instead of paying unmarketable stars huge money across the board like PBC/SHO do, resulting in massive inactivity.
