Think HBO is counting on the May 5th De La Hoya/Floyd Mayweather face-off to be the centerpiece promotion of 2007?
Broadcasting and Cable reports that HBO Sports will run a four-part series counting down to the 2007 boxing event of the year, and the series will almost certainly receive bang-up ratings, as the first three installments of the ODLH/PBF run-up show will air following brand-new Sopranos and Entourage episodes on Sunday nights beginning April 15 at 10 p.m. ET.
The fourth episode airs the Thursday night before the fight, B and C said.
?In 35 years of television boxing this is a first for HBO,? said HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg four part hypefestival.
Happily, Liev Schreiber will narrate the miniseries.
Basically that guy could recite the ?Js? from the Manhattan phone book, and make it sound compelling?
