    Jacobs/Sulecki and Miller/Duhaupas are 2 pretty good fights I'm very much looking forward to watching. Don't know what you guys are talking about.

      I don't want them to fail. I like GGG, Jacobs, Miller and I even like Ali. I'd like to see all of them being successful. HBO just doesn't know what they're doing anymore.

          Would be a good Boxing After Dark show 10 years ago. Now, it’s as good as it gets.

            Oh I see. I couldn't agree more, they seem to have no interest in boxing anymore or just completely incompetent

              Mammoth, I agree. I will say this though, with 3G vs Vanes, it should’ve just not happen! They are trying to convert a 1.1-2 million PPV fight on to reg HBO, which is turning into a bust. I know G wants to fight but it sucks! Ali-Beefy, is a schit fest, but may turn into a good fight. The DJ fight is the sleeper.
              All in all I agree with your views. Since Peter Nelson has taken over, it’s been super schitty! I believe they really want to just survive on a PPV basis. If they corral BJS over, hey should run a reg HBO tourney for the middleweight division, that’s the only thing I can see reviving them, temporarily

Also, they got rid of Merchant who was like a drunk uncle who was tolerated but brutally honest and replaced him with corporate a$$licking Kellerman. Their TV and boxing line up compared to their glorious 90s and 00s era is absolute dreck.
                True Detective is a good show also.
