I Miss HBO

[Southpawology]

I dont understand why HBO couldnt have just transitioned into an App Based boxing subscription surely money isnt an issue and they had the software engineers to do it.

DAZN, PBC, they dont deliver the big fight "feel" and dont hype up a fight like HBO could. Also DAZN's commentary is GOD AWFUL.

Same here from top to bottom what everyone mentioned maybe after the 2 year dazn agreement is over HBO might jump back in never know cause they have to many shoes on now . I think euphoria and Gentlemen Jack are good series . My BF brilliant is ok

Lampley-Merchant-Steward. Best.

lampley acted like a drunk college kid in a sorority house. Bam Bam Bam a godamn idiot

I miss HBO Championship boxing & boxing after dark, too!
They were EVENTS! I'd have a people over for fights every month, sometimes 2 times a month for their fights! Their matchmakers were great. Its a shame cause I dont get that same feeling as I did for these new boxing channels/promoters.

TR/ESPN just aint got it. DAZN is meh. And PBC/Fox/Show, for all the the boxers they have just arent making the quality fights that everyone wants to see; or if they are, theyre drowning the market with too many ppv's.

I guess we got what we wished for....more boxing but not enough quality or too many ppv's

All except for Lampley.

Unprofessional as hell and ****** about the sport. Always making wrong calls. How did he even have a job

[KillaMane26]

Yea me too....I miss friday night fights too

I missed HBO Boxing before HBO Boxing was gone. That was the problem.

HBO Boxing wasn't what it used to be for years before they disappeared.

Agreed. That said. Even hbo at its worst sh it’s on dazn and fox. Royal sh it’s.

Early/mid-2000s HBO Boxing will always be the gold standard, both in-ring and presentation.

If this is what you think of lampley I really would like to know what you think of sergio mora because that guy shouldnt be within 10 feet of a microphone! He is absolutely atrocious.

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

Sometimes I think it's nostalgia but then I listen to the banter between commentators today and I realise I'm not wearing rise tinted glasses. I'm witnessing sh**te. I need Lampley's energy and Merchants snidey quips. It was a wonderful combo although I didn't appreciate it at the time and hated them at times.
