So aside from the sub par main event did anyone else notice how horrible of a job showtime does on there events.
The whole event was a half assed production. The way they put together there clips and interviews from previous fights with the poor choice of music in an attempt to get you excited for the match was downright pathetic imo.
Also aside from Foreman who I though was adequate and the girl who sang the anthem(what was her name) who I thought was hot , most anyone else who spoke didn't do such a great job.
Thats the worst when the real guys dont do it. The PPV sucks even worse then. That Adios JCC fight was done by the worst crew Ive ever heard. I conisdered killing myself 3 times during that broadcast.
How can you complain about Big George and Barry Tompkins. The crew did a good job. George was the only reason i watched the main event.
I'm actually beginning to like Showtime more than HBO. There's a thread Showtime>HBO where I go into more detail, as do a number of posters describing their preferences...
I like the fights put on by HBO more but i enjoy the broadcasters from showtime much much more.
You know if you think about it the foul pole should be called the fair pole because if the ball hits the foul pole it is actually fair and baseball thinks steriods is a problem.Does your name have anything to do with that or are you Polish yet unbiased?
I can't say that I am completely unbiased but I am half Polish.
I have seen random back yard brawl videos with better production and commentary than this PPV event, hell the kids in those videos put on a better fight too.
I dont know how I missed this being a Kingvision or what ever it is called telecast but I will never make the same mistake again.
This was **** Quality compared to the Tua/Griffis PPV...
There was a women's undercard where the camera never got very close - it made you dizzy watching the fight, like when you're playing a sports video game and you accidentally screw up the field angle.

And Merchant would have called Hasbeen and King on what a shitty fight that was and he would have interviewed Monty Barret as well.

If Jones Jr. and Merchant equal intelligence and flair, I'd rather watch dumb and dull...lol
Yeah but Roy is a good announcer and Larry is drunk and funny as shit with the off the wall bullshit it seems like he makes shit up as he goes along.
I like what they have been showing boxing wise but I have to say their broadcasts are lacking intelligence and flair.

Showtime blows but has had some good fights on this year.

So what is that a Don King production?Well whoever pocketed my $40 really dropped the ball tonite.
Notice how Don King never could wipe that million dollar smile off his face :eek:
I remember not being too impressed with the tyson mcbride production as well. I found myself enjoying the HBO special that same night a hell of alot better :cool:
Yeah; they had the Showtime PPV banner but no Albert, Charles, Bernstein, Farhood, etc. commentating; no Showtime graphics - the Don King symbol was on everything.
The Adios fight was a Top Rank event, and so was going to be the Million Dollar Lady PPV.
These announcers get a lot of gigs, most notably on Fox Sports...
This was a DKP, distributed through Showtime.
This was not a Showtime PPV like the Tyson-McBride fight was or Corrales-Castillo would be.
This was comparable to the Golden Boy PPV that HBO distributed with Barrera-Fana

Yes I agree. They were also sucking Hasbeens nuts pretty hard and didn't even interview Barret after the fight even though he was standing right there!
