showtime vs hbo

which do you like better from commentators to fights in the last year? hbo showtime HBO is the best allthough i like to listen to Al Bernstein from showtime i think boring Emanuel Steward & Lennox Lewis ,Kellerman have brought HBO down a bit though i would just like to hear from Lederman ,Merchant ,Lampley

I'll give the slight edge to HBO right now. It's kinda like international basketball. The US was extremely superior for a long time, and now, well. They are still better, but the margin has closed significantly.

I'll accept that. Showtime's guys are worlds smarter than HBO's dumbasses (though HBO is getting better by replacing Larry with Max), but the HBO guys know how to hype a fight. They also know how to shoot it down as soon as they realized they overhyped it.

Showtime commentators are idiots! They're boring and they don't have the fast and creative commentary live Lampley!

HBO's commentators are way better in getting you pumped up for a fight. No doubt about that. Whatever faults he may have, Lampley is tremendous at building the drama.

Showtime has killed HBO in terms of both for years. I think more people subscribe to HBO is why they get more votes. Bernstein is the smartest person in boxing by far

Personally I prefer HBO. I like hearing Jim Lamply and Larry Merchant covering the fights (i feel they do a great job; one of if not THEE best in the sport) and HBO tends to have majority of all major fights... Shotime tends to only get fighters who have either: A) fallen off the wagon, meaning fighters who are out of their prime or lost several fights and arent what they use to be. or B) fighters on their way to the top. they do have SOME of the top current fighters on their air regularly... they have had some great fights on their air like the castillo v. corrales fight; marquez v. vasquez trilogy; etc. but overall i think HBO is dominating. what i like about SHO more than HBO is they have more fights sometimes not just on saturdays but also on fridays... so they i think have MORE fights and even if they arent big names they have good matchups. they dont have nearly as many ppv's (which is a good thing).

HBO is probably the choice, but considering how much smaller Showtime's budget is they deserve credit for making the better fights this year.

showtime better comentators, hbo more fights...

Some nikkaaz showtime, other nikkaz hbo I do both cause I'm the king of the motherfuckin West coast

HBO, this is a test

Showtime. Because they cover Combat Sports. holly shitt!! is that boby lee on your av... :lol1:

I enjoy both, I have both. Just hate when they counter program. Ditto...But for fights HBo usually has the bigger names then Sho...Some of the matchups on Shobox are down right horrible.....HBO needs to step their game up and start sring more fights I seena website that has tons of fights listed this year and they aren't even being televised period....If they want to increase viewing of boxing nation wide then they need to have more televised events to main stream the sport again...Lefty
