So is HBO Boxing pretty much close to being done?

Why wouldn't Daniel Jacobs simply return to Showtime after the HBO deal is up?

Haymon moves the way he moves, but I doubt that he'd advise Jacobs to take a deal with a promoter for longer than the TV dates on offer.

Danny Jacobs is no longer with Al Haymon.

According to to Oscar hbo will come back as soon as the at&t time Warner merger that just got gov approval to be completed

No-one subscribes to HBO for Boxing, it's a very small number. And Time Warner/A&T will look closely over HBO's Investments, Boxing is not a Subscription Driver- so it will be cut off. That's logical buisness and economic sense

Also there really aren't many big mainstream fighters apart from Canelo and Joshua.

I hope not. They always had the best lighting.

Could happen. But Hearn would have a lot of egg on his face. I think he'd spend more to get Jacobs on DAZN than Jacobs would be worth to Showtime.

I've had hbo for over a decade just for boxing.

thats the only reason, I've seen all the movies that hbo shows way before they even reach hbo. so hbo is strictly boxing for me.

but im canceling my subscription at the end of the yr.

muniga, machado, berchelt, rungvisai aint good enough

im used to

pac vs barrera
hopkins vs calzaghe
wright vs taylor
ward vs dawson
mosley vs margarito
Williams vs martinez
lewis vs klitschko
Cotto vs clottey

Your in the small minorty. HBO has knowledge of it's customers and viewers trust me they know Boxing is not a big deal for it's buisness. Once the Canelo PPV Days are gone, they will be gone Permanetly and immediately

Danny Jacobs is no longer with Al Haymon.

Jacobs didn't negotiate the HBO deal on his own, and Jacobs didn't negotiate the Matchroom Sport deal on his own either (timing is what it is).

I guess that could happen

[The plunger man]

DAZN will also add a mega event of pacquaio vs khan at wembley stadium ...boxing is fading on the 2 big players in the states and DAZN is in the right place to take over now.

I also see that PBC are failing big time now and there are hardly any fights taking place now.....the end of PBC maybe
