Originally posted by Eff Pandas View PostIt obviously wasn't a good move by HBO, but idk if they didn't have their hands tied anyway.
People keep acting like Bob or Al ended HBO Boxing, but HBO ended HBO Boxing by throwing less money at it for 2 f#cking decades & throwing more money into other things that are where they are fighting for new viewers with the likes of Amazon Prime & Netflix.
I will say its ironic that two Haymon guys will be the last HBO fight...or apparently will be anyways cuz I know there was rumors of a Dec. card not long ago so maybe that'll be the last show or maybe Jacobs vs Derevyanchenko will be idk.

I think the HBO bean counters kept giving less & less beans to boxing & more beans to GoT & other series & things that have a better ROI for them.
Its business sh^t & they weren't competing with Showtime Boxing like too many boxing fans think. They were competing with Netflix & now Amazon Prime & Hulu & sh^t like that.

Originally posted by soul_survivor View PostAnd thus America boxing dies, not with a resilient raw but a press conference.
Lots of us said that over paying under skilled fighters and putting the few top fights out there on PPV would do it.
We've seen PBC barely make any noise this year, none of their fighters are stars and show is hedging huge money on fury v wilder, which will not be a big enough fight.
The centre has shifted to Europe.
HOLD THIS!
