For more than four decades, HBO has been home to literally hundreds of the biggest fights and most iconic names in boxing, dating as far back to George Foreman’s annihilation of Joe Frazier back in 1973. Over the years they’ve been the go-to destination for the likes of Roy Jones Jr, Floyd Mayweather, Oscar De La Hoya, Mike Tyson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto, Manny Pacquiao, and countless others.
Less than two weeks removed from broadcasting the thrilling pay-per-view rematch between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin, HBO has confirmed that they are done televising live boxing.
