Outside of Canelo, GGG, Rungvisai, Kovalev & Jacobs, who else fights on there? It almost feels pointless to keep HBO Boxing around at this point.

No announcement yet.
So is HBO Boxing pretty much close to being done?

That's pretty much it in terms of the big names. The only other fights that they've had this year that I can remember was Ali vs Munguia, Matthysse vs Kiram, and Rungvisai vs Estrada.

lol I wonder how Lampley & Kellerman feel about how things have turned out. I’m surprised Kellerman hasn’t called any ESPN fights yet though since he’s on First Take on ESPN. I’m guessing he’s possibly refusing to out of respect for Lampley since it would probably cause friction between them if he’s calling fights on another network. Or maybe he has an exclusive contract with HBO when it comes to calling fights.
