Thread: HBO Legendary nights, new shows planned for 2008!!

Brilliant series and i enjoyed every single one, so this for me is great news.

Legendary Night Series To Continue In 2008

20.06.07 - In 2003, HBO Sports introduced “Legendary Nights,” a 12-part documentary series showcasing 12 of the most memorable fights that have appeared on HBO. The series notched a Sports Emmy for “Outstanding Edited Sports Series/Anthology..”

Ross Greenburg, president of HBO Sports, and Rick Bernstein, executive producer of HBO Sports, announced today that they will revisit the series next year.

In the 2008 programming year, HBO Sports will return with a fresh six-week installment of “Legendary Nights.” The six new shows will be hand-picked from the fight library of HBO, which is in its 35th year of televising the best in professional boxing.

They're gonna be awesome. As anyone who has HBO knows this series is very well done. We can only guess which fights are gonna be covered. I'm guessing Barrera-Morales, Hopkins-Taylor, Pacquaio-Marquez.

Oh sweet!! Thanks for the info smash. I also like these shows on HBO and I do agree they are vary well done. Can't wait for these.

I wouldnt call Hopkins-Taylor too legendary,

both were boring

The Barrera-Morales trilogy along with the Pacquio-Morales trilogy has to be showcased. Oscar-Floyd fight is a lock for one of the shows.

bring it on

i hate wen they tell us shit to early and than we gotta wait for it to happen they shouldve told us in janurary of 08

Great info love those legendary nights documentarys shame the only one i didn't see was Bowe vs Holyfield.

Hopkins v Taylor were 2 of the biggest sh*tfests ever,no way either will be included.
Are you on some heavy LSD

How about some of these

just for ideas for some good documentarys

Muhammad Ali vs Frazier Trilogy
Gatti vs Ward trilogy
Corrales vs Castillo
Mike Tyson vs Evander Holyfield


I'll think of some more later.

Corrales v Castillo is a definate surely
I'd like to see Foreman v Lyle as it was an incredible pendulum of a fight throughout it's duration and an utter classic imo.

u think there gonna make mayweather-delahoya, amean the fight wwasnt amazing but its was very big

Maybe just because of the hype that surrounded the build up
Hope not though because the fight was pretty sh*t really

i hope Showtime gives them permission for the Corrales-Castillo fight. HBO turned that fight down and Showtime picked it up. i know they were kicking themselves in the ass after watching it.
