Have HBO lost their interest in boxing?
They have seemed to be heading that direction for awhile now.
All the competition of the smaller competitors including ESPN have left them behind.
There's a chicken or the egg argument here. Because HBO has realized there is far more subscriptions for them in original programming than in boxing. That's why their cards have sucked for years, really no interest. Add a new element of competition to a market HBO isn't particularly concerned with and we can see where it is going.
You are right, if they invested in boxing (they certainly had the know how) they could compete but seemed to have made the decision that they will disinvest which is a shame for its subscribers.
