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.

Hasn't this topic been discussed on other threads early last week?

I know I've already mentioned this at least three times.
Good for you.

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. :KO:

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. :TU:

Well you're certainly always that way 'inclined'

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.
