HBO Boxing List (A Work in Progress)
Posted: 09 Jan 2026, 03:48
I think all of us Fight Afficionados can agree that HBO Boxing was some of the absolute finest in terms of Production, Commentary, Big Matches, and just the peak of Boxing presentation for a great period of time from the 80's into the 2010's. It began in the 1970's, but honestly wasn't on par with ABC back in those days, nevertheless some old HBO Boxing broadcasts are still rare gems to dig up.
That's the purpose of this thread. I'm hoping we can all pool our collective memories, and try to piece together a full history of HBO Boxing and every card that took place. I know it's a tough subject, and I may be the only one who has any passion for it, but if any of you old Tape traders or Classic fight fans can name broadcasts you recall it would be a great help.
I notice there is no such list of this sort on the internet, but I think there By God should be.
This is not about tape trading or anything like that, I'm pretty sure the whole idea of that is outdated anyway, but I know dudes like that may have been more meticulous about keeping up with dates, and program info, etc.
Maybe it's just me, but whatever
