    I Miss HBO

    I miss HBO Boxing; I really do. That was a classy, intelligent presentation. I miss Lampley and Kellerman. I miss hearing the music when HBO Boxing started. I miss the way HBO seemed to have the air, the history, the tradition, and the credibility of a good boxing gym.

    I cant disagree with you. maybe were all just being nostalgic, cuz of all the memories and big fights.

    one thing i have to say and im trying not to sound like a hater, but honestly most PBC productions look outright amateurish compared to HBO. Like i know we cant expect much out of a FS1 broadcast but even the PBC PPV looked like it was FNF

            Yeah I never realized how great HBO was until ESPN started doing the top rank stuff. Every ESPN boxing telecast is cringy and bush league.

              HBO seemed to bring credentials to boxing
              Maybe not , but it sure seemed that way
              Fox fights seem ok , so does the Espn shows , but I hate the Dazn camera angles and unfortunately all fughin commentators seem on their foremost bias for their platform fighters
              To me , Showtime is the only one who reminds me and has that sight of Hbo credentials , the commentary is better than all others

                As long as I can see the fighters in the ring, I'm good. Forget the rest.

                    Definitely agree . Production at HBO was top notch .
                    At the end of the day . Regardless of what we gained . We lost the most legitimate platform for the sport of Boxing .
