Re: HBO Boxing in Dire Straits?
It's good for the sport to switch to ESPN, but enduring Atlas is going to be brutal. I stopped watching FNF because of him except for a rare top match up. He wasn't unbearable tonight, sounded to sick to scream about distance for 4 hours.

HBO isn't in any dire situation, but I don't think they want to pay for boxing. I think they're okay with losing guys that aren't future PPV stars like Lomachenko and Crawford. They're still showing Berchelt and some of the more exciting fighters, though.

It wasn't my intention to behave like a Smart Alec, but I get a little confused about forum members feeling the need for there to be at least three or four different threads discussing almost exactly the same subject matter.Impractical Poster wrote:Good for you.Enlightened-One wrote:Hasn't this topic been discussed on other threads early last week?Impractical Poster wrote:It was just announced that Lomachenko and Crawford's next fights will be aired live on ESPN.

In my mind, this topic has already been discussed to the point of exhaustion, but you're welcome to keep on labouring over the same point over-and-over again, if you feel so inclined to do so.

If you don't like it just don't watch it, I don't see how it's doing you any harm by existing.

Re: HBO Boxing in Dire Straits?
If HBO have brains they will continue to go after fights fans want as opposed to big name mismatches. Berchelt vs Miura and the Superfly card are gonna cost relative pittance to a Pacquiao purse. If that's how they tighten their budget then it's money well spent form where I'm sitting, and potentially the change that the channel should've made a few years back.
