The live experience
What reaches the room
You're looking at a page dedicated to HBO Boxing After Dark (BAD), the groundbreaking boxing franchise that helped elevate emerging talents onto the world stage. Launched on February 3, 1996, BAD ran as a core segment of HBO’s boxing coverage until the network stepped back from live boxing in 2018–2019. While the brand no longer runs a current touring slate, its legacy lives on in the fighters it spotlighted and the memorable bouts that defined a generation of contenders. If you’re seeking historically significant boxing events or opportunities to revisit classic BAD nights, you’ve come to the right place—we’ve got you covered.
