Comments Thread For: HBO's Nelson Denies Ratings Decline Was Factor To Drop Boxing

GGG - Canelo corrupt decisions might have been a factor as well . Live highway robberies have no place on TV .

I believe so. Especially the blatant robbery with GGG and Kovalev. Ward and canelo shamelessly gifted wins they had not earned. More ******* entitlement narratives.

Boxing fans just said enough of this.

So Mayweather, a guy who never fought a non PPV fight the last like 10 years, was the reason HBO boxing shut down? Lol, you fanboys are funny as fk!!!

Him going to showtime did nothing for them. They still get **** ratings even when they put good fights on their network.

These fanboys are the ***** generation of entertainment. Culture of failure

Haymon killed HBO/GBP

Haymon killed real boxing and turned it into WWE and pro black propaganda. Fighting bums once a year and saying they the best lol. Sheep.

[Yippee Kay yay]

Lamps being so biased and hbo not having as good of fights as Showtime is what killed them

Does Haymon pay your rent? Typical ****** crap propping up another ****** agenda.

You dissected these peoples psyche beautifully......

I actually like the idea that HBO pulled out of boxing.....Capitalism at its best....let the markets decide....and if the markets want you to go with the flow....dont go with the flow , flush it.

Good riddance. The amount of robberies for the house fighter that HBO perpetrated was obscene.

Peter Nelson, the head of HBO Sports, denies the circulating claims that declining ratings and bad matchups were determining factors behind the network's decision to drop boxing after 45 years of televising live fights. HBO officially announced on Thursday, that live boxing was no longer going to be showcased in the future.

Its all about return on investment and associated risk boxing is hardly a growing sport. The sport has been ruined by corruption, multiple governing bodys and may I say it drugs.

Very true. Some fans are just so darn ******.
Floyd was never either on HBO or SHO.
Subscribers never get to see him, except on PPV.
Meaning, you don't have to be a subscriber of any network to watch PPV.
Mayweather was supposed to increase the number Showtime's subscribers.
It did nothing for them.

There's always some mentally ill poster coming with the typical racial banter.

Me and Haymon are just two black, Ivy league educated dudes in this cold world lol He's already dominated life on the business front, and I'm on course to do the same.

Don't be mad because you didn't make the right plays in life. The game isn't over. Get up and make something of yourself lol
