That coward Eff Pandas put me backback on ignore, so I can't respond to his thread asking what ended HBO boxing.
It was no one single decision. When you get edged out of the boxing business, it's a process. One day you have leverage, one day you don't but it's rarely one decision.
Don King, Gary Shaw, Murad Muhammad, the OTA networks, ESPN, etc and now HBO have all been edged out. It happens. ESPN came back years later. FOX came back (although they were never in deep years ago).
Losing Al Haymon and Bob Arum is ultimately what killed HBO boxing if you had to point to one thing. You can't be the leader in US boxing without the two biggest suppliers of talent.
During the old HBO & SHO wars, with Don King on one side and Bob Arum on the other, if either side had lost both of them, they'd be dead in the water. Once HBO lost Haymon, they needed to do whatever it took to keep Arum happy. To risk losing both was suicide.
So in that sense, blame Peter Nelson. Because if he didn't lose Arum, HBO boxing would have limped along another 5-10 years.
