HBO is tanking with boxing. They may drop boxing from their programming soon. It sucks that HBO is struggling so much now with boxing shows. HBO used to be the standard bearer for boxing. SMH

Look at football (soccer), tennis, even MMA....you're ranking is recognised and is given coverage period, not up to bean counters deciding how many tickets will sell.Last edited by paulf; 08-29-2018, 06:11 PM.

The fight is probably SHO bound now. Kov is not the A-Side and Alvarez is a PBC fighter.
Hell this may be a double header with Stevenson-Gvozdyk.

Not exactly...HBO has declined to pick up the bout, while retaining its right to match any offer made by another party.
Sounds more like HBO still wants the fight but wants to renegotiate what they will pay for it. I think this may backfire. This rematch is actually more interesting, at least to me, than the first meeting. Put it up for bid and they might be surprised.

HBO's Max Kellerman just wants to trash on Kovalev anyway to give his idol credit
And good call, it would be nice if Hearn signed him.

And we already know Hearn and Top Rank are gonna bid more than HBO is willing to pay for it.

If he fights that kid again he will get hurt! He was a hype job who couldn't stop a 90 year old Hopkins! He had no answers for Ward and when he came in soft for his last bout he got beat up!
He made some money, now go home!
