HBO announced on September 27, 2018, that it would be dropping live boxing from its programming schedule from 2019 due to dwindling ratings, ending a 45-year association with the sport. The networks last boxing broadcast was on October 27, 2018, and it has not covered any boxing events since then. HBOs decision to stop covering boxing was due to various issues in the boxing business, including the influx of streaming options and issues with promoters, along with declining ratings and loss of interest in the sport among HBOs subscribers. Despite HBOs departure from boxing, the sport is doing better than ever, and there is more boxing programming available to viewers than ever before.
