Where does HBO go from here?

Where does HBO go from here? Finding the next Game of Thrones probably.

Peter Nelson was supposed to be the savior of HBO boxing.

According to who?

I used to love HBO. Had the best fighters, best fights, etc. Dropped it and only have Sho now as they have far surpassed Hbo in boxing. Sho is cheaper anyways plus with the ESPN Top Rank deal I prefer how it is now

This is a strange thread.

I turn on the TV, hosts in a local talk show talk about the Game of Thrones, I switch the channel, The View's hosts talk about the Game of Thrones, I turn the radio on there it is again, a topic about a HBO series I have no interest in seeing a single season.

And this thread says, "Where does HBO go from here?"

According to who?

Nelson is a former boxing journalist. Boxing journalist like to think they know more about the sport than everyone else. His hiring at HBO was their validation. I've seen nothing but glowing articles about Nelson. HBO had a sub par 2016 and instead of blaming Nelson the media blamed a attempted take over by Fox. A takeover that only seems to affect the boxing division.

Where are you reading this drivel?

Where are you reading this drivel?

Every article posted when he got promoted and every article since then. You must not read a lot of boxing articles outside of boxingscene. Here's one straight from boxingscene

You'd think there would be at least one article critical of him for running off Top Rank who has 2 fighters in the top 10 p4p and one fighter that's still able to outsell everyone on their network besides Canelo. But it's been crickets.

Peter Nelson has nothing to do with the downfall. He was a journalist before HBO signed him for a bunch of peanuts and a Coke light. The shareholders just lost their believe in boxing. That's the whole story.
