    Boxing is better because HBO is out of boxing. American boxing is now American centered!

    Foreigners are now "Bending the knee" to our fighters because HBO's propaganda can no longer save them.

      Miss Jim, MK, Larry, Harrold & Emmanuel. They were an all-star team. SHO sports PPV are currently the best, but most fights seem to be on FOX, DAZN and ESPN. ESPN over FOX & DAZN right now.

        Ask 1000 people in the street if they have DAZN, and odds are maybe 2% will say yes, maybe.. Eddie Hearn and DAZN are running boxing into the ground and HBO is sorely missed every single day..

          HBO had the best team/production

          Outside of Roy Jones, HBO had the best product in ny opinion. I cancelled my HBO after they left the boxing business. Now we have weaker production and weak teams of analysts. Malinaggi is good, but his team isn't. Andre Ward is ok. Marquez and Guerrero are ok.Timothy Bradley is ok. Stephen A and Teddy Atlas needs to go....along with quite a few others.

              There is no network today showing any fights worth a spit. At least with HBO and Showtime you know you’re getting big fights; actual champions and contenders and it was frequent throughout the year. Today, they show garbage fights, full out mismatches and truly nothing of a serious nature. HBO ppv brought in millions of viewers to their fights. Today on BROADCAST television you’re lucky to break 400,000. Let that sink in a moment.

                Don't worry. By the end of next year, you'll have an article "SHO gave up on boxing one year ago: Does boxing miss SHO?".

                  I like Ward and Bradley as analysts on ESPN. Malignaggi very good too.

                    I loved HBO boxing and miss it. I wonder without boxing and Game of thrones, how do they stay afloat.

                      I miss the old days when HBO aired quality fights. More recently they had eroded to the point of showing a bunch of garbage, so good riddance.
