    May not be a bad move for Canelo to get away from Oscar.

    It's such a shame. HBO has always been the grand stage among boxing networks. So many iconic fights and although the quality of their broadcasting and commentary has dropped in the recent years, they always provided top production.

    Perhaps Eddie Hearn could make another spectacular announcement by signing Jim Lampley? :deal:

    It could’ve been worse. Imagine if they decided to bow out after the 36 monotonous rounds we witnessed during Superfly 3.

    Oscar’s not concerned about losing Canelo. Remember, he has his eye on the bigger prize of running for US President in 2020.

    I’m already looking forward to cancelling my HBO subscription this November.

    Do you ever watch ESPN? Kellerman seems to have a landing spot here.

    Don't know about that, but it would be great if DAZN replaced either Mora or Leonard with Roy Jones :deal:

    Unfortunately, Roy ends up unemployed considering he fought 32 times on HBO and never on Showtime.

    You won’t even stay for Real Sports, Ballers, and Hard Knocks? I know I won’t.

    We all knew this was coming this last year or two. The writing was on the wall once Arum took his stable to ESPN. It was good when it was good, but it hasn't been good for a while.

    You're probably right. Damn shame though he's good at what he does. ESPN should get rid of Bradley and bring him in but that will probably never happen either.

    Bradley is good, but Roy is significantly better.
