How many fans would HBO attract to boxing if they rolled out their vault?

    :good That's our good ole newscaster Marc Brown in Los Angeles. He's been doing this for a while now. It always cracks me up to see him do a suspect profile on some guy and they look just like him. :lol:

    They were supposed to do another Legendary Nights that was to come on in January of 2009 but they pushed it back for some reason. That was a great series.

    Only God knows. I mean they treat their past fights like they are the most precious thing on Earth. I mean the NFL used to not show their past football games but now on their NFL Network channel, they show all of their greatest games in full coverage. That can only help attract new fans.

    I just don't get it. I mean instead of showing stupid re-runs of "Entourage" :lol: they can squeez in Hopkins/Tito.

    HBO doesn't hold the rights to Hopkins/Trinidad, Don King does. That's why even highlights of Hopkins/Trinidad has never been shown on HBO.

    HBO should show fights from when they first started so that the young guys can get a clue on just how good the fighters were in the 80's were. Sometimes I see a best ever thread, and guys are saying Manny Pac best ever lol...

    Jones/Ruiz? How in the hell was that farce of a fight deserving of a Legendary Night episode? :patsch

    I agree about Tito/Hopkins though. :good
