Why was HBO boxing abolished?

Oh that's right, you've got a giant weird GGG hate-boner.

As you were, have fun.

 

I agree, even USA Tuesday night fights was a better production

 

Some fights but the last few I watched including gesta/diaz fight they were bad & cut up.

 

It was easy decision. The amount that they dedicated towards boxing has a much lower return than the amount they dedicate towards making TV shows. Boxing ratings had been declining for a while and for a variety of reasons people were not watching boxing as much

 

On top of all of this they were in comp with streaming services, showtime were putting out quality content, apple TV. So HBO stepped up and brought out stuff like WestWorld, True Detective, GOT, etc with big name stars. Boxing just didn't really have the combat stars to compare with these big movie stars.

I really do miss HBO boxing so much.

 

Good riddance. They should've pulled the plug on boxing when Lou DiBella left.
