Ross Greenburg is resigning as president of HBO Sports, ending his 33-year career at the network. According to The New York Times, Greenburg said that he was not renewing his contract, which expires soon, and was not being dismissed, but was exhausted from his years of working on HBO’s boxing broadcasts and had been considering leaving the network for the past three months. “I’ve accomplished everything I hoped for,” he told the NYT in a phone interview.

He also shot down rumors that he was fired by HBO for losing one of its biggest boxing stars, Manny Pacquiao, to Showtime for his May 7 fight against Shane Mosley.
