    No surprise really. HBO turned their back to American fighters. Imagine Boxnation banning Eddie Hearn.

      This is 2018 wilder vs Ortiz is better than anything hbo put out and it’s not even close.

          Lol who df was fighting like that??

            Schaefer and Haymon took all their fighters who HBO built up for decades.
            Haymon then made these fighters fight once a year and let them rot on shelves.
            It's a disgrace.

                      I don’t understand how Nelson hasn’t been fired he’s done a absolute terrible job

                      They were the premium boxing outlet for decades and in a matter of 1 year they fell off a cliff it’s been 3 years since PBC and is their now 3rd string at best now behind PBC / Showtime and Espn after TR went to Espn. They put on maybe 4-5 decent fights a year being generous and that’s including PPVs

                      They now have 2 stars ( Canelo & Gennady ) both are PPV fighters . 1 name who is known to hardcores ( Kovalev ) and 3-4 fighters who hold any type of weight among hardcore boxing fans ( Bivol, Jacobs , Rungsai and maybe Estrada

                      They have 1 division on lock which is MW and skin in the game in 2 other divisions Superfly and LHW

                      And things will continue to get worse
