Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: HBO and Showtime Don't Belong In Boxing Anymore

[Cigar]

I wish this guy would leave boxing already. He's done enough damage to the sport.

Hbo has been trash for a while and Showtime boxing isn't much better either. They aren't getting casual fans interested

Just curious. Who is getting casuals interested?

Arum and his tribe need to leave boxing and the entertainment industry in general.

HBO ratings are a lot lower than they used to be and I'm assuming Showtimes are too? I pay for them all and just got DAZN but in general too many platforms isn't a good thing because a lot of people can't afford to keep up and for the sake of match-ups we can't see fighter a fight fighter b because they fight on different services.

We have access to more fights than every before and there's less PPV's than before but still it's too fragmented. I think HBO and Showtime have far better production, Showtime has better commentary but I think the sport could perhaps benefit from just being on sports channels so that more people can see the fights and not have to go out of their way.

CBS owns boxingscene. They should upgrade the website.

Lol

Funny thing is many Showtime or HBO cards do much better ratings than many of his ESPN Cards I think his last card only did 500k which is absolutely horrendous for ESPN
