Outside of Canelo, GGG, Rungvisai, Kovalev & Jacobs, who else fights on there? It almost feels pointless to keep HBO Boxing around at this point.
So is HBO Boxing pretty much close to being done?

True, but even they’re not enough. I don’t see anyone subscribing to HBO at this point strictly for Boxing anymore. They have like one show every other month now.Comment

That's pretty much it in terms of the big names. The only other fights that they've had this year that I can remember was Ali vs Munguia, Matthysse vs Kiram, and Rungvisai vs Estrada.Comment

Yeah but they aren't a boxing channel anyway. They just do a few shows that will still have subscribers just for Canelo and GGG fights. They know their original shows are the real reasons to subscribe so they aren't worried about the boxing piece too much.Comment

That’s true. But they used to run so many shows per year where even if you subscribed just for Boxing it was worth it. Now Boxing has been put on the backburner & no one will subscribe just for Boxing anymore.
lol I wonder how Lampley & Kellerman feel about how things have turned out. I’m surprised Kellerman hasn’t called any ESPN fights yet though since he’s on First Take on ESPN. I’m guessing he’s possibly refusing to out of respect for Lampley since it would probably cause friction between them if he’s calling fights on another network. Or maybe he has an exclusive contract with HBO when it comes to calling fights.Comment
