HBO went from the top boxing network to Bum Fights

[siablo14]

Best cards so far this year:

1) ESPN
2) HBO
3) Showtime

People love Showtime for whatever reason but their cards and their production are not very good.

Production? We only care what the fighters do in the ring. Wilder with clumsy self made the Ortiz fight interesting.

I don稚 understand how Nelson hasn稚 been fired he痴 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痴 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痴 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

If the rumors are true and they get Joshua in the Summer, HBO will have the three biggest names in boxing (Canelo, GGG and Joshua).

Yeah, they're really in the tank.

That maybe next. Wilder better hope it is next. I think his time is limited. We don't know for sure. I am just saying if not Joshua or Miller, it better not be Breazeale ahead of Whyte.

Breazeale and Whyte are about equal

[IMDAZED]

I want the Wilder-Joshua fight first but if not. Why not Whyte? You want that worthless Breazeale fight instead? Breazeale aint drawing a soul. HBO highlighted the Whyte-Browne fight. It's only right that the he fight the American next. What has Breazeale been doing to keep interest in him.

Whyte is just as worthless as Breazeale. Neither one deserves a shot and I'm not as impressed with Whyte as you are, clearly. Furthermore, I definitely don't support Eddie Hearn ****ing fans around by getting them to be dumb enough to support his idea of lining his own pockets by throwing Whyte in front of Wilder rather than Joshua.

So you will not be supporting any heavyweight fight unless it's Joshua-Wilder. I can dig that but don't let me see you cheering for Wilder-Breazeale.

I am not sold on Whyte. I just believe his momentum is greater than Breazeale at this moment.

It's an entertainment product. The production matters. And for all the obvious HBO haters (and there are a lot) Lampley, Kellerman and Jones are the best in the business.

And I thought the fight yesterday was interesting. Two big punchers, one was a bloody mess, and a thunderous knockout.

Whyte has more momentum at the moment and has headline his own card.

You値l never hear me cheering for Breazeale. Just like you値l never hear me dissing a fighter and calling him names for not lining Hearn痴 pockets like I知 a Hearn d*ckrider.

Nah. Sky Sport team for me. Even though I like hearing Malinaggi too. Kellerman seems rehearse and Roy seems drunk and slurred. Andre Ward is good though. Should put him in there for either Kellerman or Jones but Sky for me at the moment.

Not Breazeale by himself but the Wilder-Breazeale fight. Don't do it! Whyte got the momentum and eye catching win on an HBO carried fight. It only makes sense for the American to face him next.
