    Max is also a loudmouth with an annoying winy ass voice. It's a wonder he didn't make it as a white boy rapper, doh?

    Max Kellerman is awful. HBO should replace him with Bernard Hopkins.

    Rappers tend to do that.

    Larry himself said that he believes its because HBO doesn't have anyone at the top anymore who loves boxing...while Showtime does

    Loved some of the early Boxing After Dark fights. Man, there were some wars that took place. Remember the Derek Jefferson-Oleg Maskaev fight? Wow! Or how about the Jefferson-Harris fight. Unbelievable! One of the most brutal KOs I have ever seen.

    And if you missed the D-Train-Maskaev fight, here it is. Two warriors.

    The announcers have zilch go do with it. The decline is due to a drastic decrease in the budget. Nothing more, nothing less.

    HBO’s business model is predicated on having a superstar show. That show for one more year will be GoT, and after that who knows. Whereas Showtime takes a more balanced approach and has made room for boxing.

    I haven’t cancelled hbo yet but am getting close. It’s sad in a way because I hate to give up on it. But the network appears to have quit boxing in any meaningful way.

    I feel the same way. I only subscribe to HBO for the boxing. May cancel.

    How about the first ever BAD, Marco Antonio Barrera vs Kennedy McKinney!
