HBO Boxing has no direction. Why buy Berchelts fights and Roman-Salido and not pick up this?
They did want it, got outbid. ESPN, Showtime, DAZN and HBO all wanted it. ESPN won. HBO are pretty much done now, Hooker/Saucedo going for more than the entire purse for the Kovalev and Bivol card, Saunders getting double what Golovkin got in his last fight.
Why not man? It's only $5 a month.
They had good fights on ESPN+ so far some in content with it
I guess when it launched I signed up to watch
Horn vs Crawford, and somehow I mistakenly assumed
that they would show better content than their regular
channels.
I don't receive ESPN as part of my cable package, so all I
see is the prelim fights and a few other sparse cards.
I'd rather they offer me the whole ESPN package through
the app for a bit more money.
Also, I read that Showtime was also interested in this card,
but it ended up going to ESPN+ instead.
I also subscribe to the Showtime app so I would have
seen it either way, and I would have preferred Showtime's
presentation and production value.
So I'm paying for Showtime, plus an extra $5 per month
so ESPN+ can compete for fights against them???
I'd rather have saved $5 and just watched it on Showtime,
but instead I have to support a business rivalry and help
further the fragmentation of televised/******ed boxing.
All these networks and ******ing services think we have
money trees growing in our yards.
