    Do you think HBO will Broadcast Canelo Fielding as it's last telecast ?

    Or will its last telecast be Jacobs Derevyanchenko ?

    And further, even though HBO will no longer be broadcasting live boxing on its channel, in their statement they left open the door for possibly doing big events in the future. Do you think in the future HBO will still consider putting on PPVs like once a year or once every two years maybe for a big Canelo fight or something ?

    Nah, Jacobs is the last one confirmed.

    They could get back into it though, just depends on the landscape in a few years. They lose boxing, Game of Thrones finishes, subscribers plummet, an exec gets the sack and new one says hey we need boxing back then it can come back but it'll.be a long road with the likes of Fox, ESPN, Showtime and DAZN all.heavily investing, they will.have to come out with a mega budget to compete.

    TBH I reckon they pulled the plug based on how much those are investing as it probably is unsustainable in the short term under those deals, once a couple burns and the business balances out then it's prob the best time to come back.
