lol the kiss of death

They were declining and he actually buried them alive when he left with Lomo and Bud in the bag.

They failed to build up a superstar to replace pacquiao. Canelo just doesn’t come close.

Bob knows he can’t really market Bud Crawford either. A man who has the charisma of Kawhi Leonard. Dude has the public speaking skills of a deaf mute.

Once Mayweather went to Showtime it was a matter of time. It's gonna be difficult to have the kind of sportsmen like Mayweather who made boxing exciting, dividing fans but still big hits at the box office. They can try to make Canelo look like a star all they want bit he ain't better off than a donkey which will bray when put in a race.

No they don't. Of all the premium channels they show the worst movies and the worst fights and this has been going on for some 5 years now.

As if his HBO subscription is denting his wallet anyway. He can afford every TV service on the planet.

I cancelled at the end of the year. They actually have so little that appeal to me. I am on the wrong political side of the aisle for the 2 shows they are airing on current events, I am not into any of their regular series, and their movie selection is rivaled by Starz and Showtime. I was a very devoted HBO guy for a long, long time. Now, I miss it not even a little. I felt a little tug when Superfly 2 came on, but otherwise I don't even care.

One exception: They get my household back when Game of Thrones starts it's last season. My son is a HUGE devoted fan, having read all the books and now has to see how the show ends as it is ahead of the books. He is in college and a ton bigger than me these days. He gets his way.

[Nomadic]

Yep, as soon as Game of Thrones is over, subscription is canceled.

Same, True Detective season 3 will be out in January and then you have Succession, GoT, etc.
