WelshDevilRob Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 On Saturday the last HBO boxing show took place. They've served the sport for 45 years. Sad ending. The following video is their farewell. Will you miss HBO and do you have fond memories of their boxing broadcasts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selij Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Re: End of an Era - HBO Boxing's final farewell Simply, the best. I will miss their shows immensely. There's a very similar thread to this and I already said the 24/7 series narrated by Liev Schreiber, of which I have the complete collection, retain a special place in my collection and heart. And Jim's 'Final Word' after the Manny fight is my favorite and probably his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 Re: End of an Era - HBO Boxing's final farewell Sorry, mate. I did search HBO in topics but nothing came up. Should've searched for the word rather than title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Re: End of an Era - HBO Boxing's final farewell --- No Problem. Nobody speaking ill of the dead and dying. I'll miss Big George and Merchant, the only two capable of shutting up long enough to let the fight unfold without annoyance. They also had the greatest respect for the fighters with a R.I.P for Manny Steward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerald Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Re: End of an Era - HBO Boxing's final farewell Very sad that HBO boxing has come to an end. Have so many fond memories of HBO fights where the story and drama of the fight was enriched and enhanced through the HBO lens. Real shame that the farewell itself was a low key event that flew under the radar rather than one last major event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind low key. Shocking that the finalé was also two thirds 'female' boxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cableaddict Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Re: End of an Era - HBO Boxing's final farewell They sure did a great job in days past, and it really makes you feel old to see it end. At the same time, in recent years the HBO nut-hugging for the "house" fighter was often so bad, I had to turn off the audio in order to enjoy the fight. I won't miss that at all.
