From Thomas Hauser's SecondsOut in 2007:

"By way of example; the network poured a $3,000,000 license fee plus another seven figures for marketing and production into Joe Calzaghe versus Mikkel Kessler, which garnered a 2.8 rating (the lowest prime-time HBO World Championship Boxing rating ever). But that shouldn’t have surprised anyone. The live afternoon telecast of Calzaghe against Peter Manfredo earlier in the year came in at 1.4"

HBO isn't what it use to be. They're subscription base been on the decline last few years. Direct TV and On Demand

HBO, home of popular TV shows including "Big Love" and "True Blood," is under pressure to recoup lost subscribers and fend off skepticism about its competitive position in a rapidly shifting media landscape.

HBO and Cinemax, Time Warner Inc.'s stable of premium cable networks, together lost about 1.6 million subscribers last year, pushing levels down to an estimated five-year low. Netflix Inc., meanwhile, added nearly eight million, a performance that was widely viewed as evidence that some consumers have an appetite for viewing movies and TV shows through broadband instead of traditional pay-TV.

While the overall pay-TV industry saw subscriber declines in the second and third quarters of 2010, some of HBO's premium-network competitors overcame economic headwinds.

Showtime, owned by CBS Corp., saw its subscriber rolls grow by roughly 1.6 million, to 19.5 million in 2010, while Starz, owned by Liberty Media Corp., increased subscribers by 1.3 million, to 18.2 million, according to estimates from Michael Morris, analyst with Davenport & Co.
