I only have HBO and I watch all the boxing on it but I really wanted to see the Super Six matches and really want to watch Juan Manuel Lopez vs. Rafael Marquez. Should I get Showtime?
I got both as part of a packaged deal. Also I got foxsports net package as they show a lot of boxing as well.
To be honest I do a lot of calling in to my service provider to take advantage of deals. They always offer specials such as two premium channels for the price of one, Showtime free for 6 months and so on. Also you can order the channel for the day....something I use to do back in the day.
For those complaining about money
I feel you totally
I have Time Warner Cable
I just call when they advertise HBO or showtime for free and ask if they have any specials. Then when they tell me its only for first time subsrcibers I tell them that I want to end my service so I can switch to dish
Tell them that and they'll hook you up wth HBO and Showtime for cheap maybe even free
right now Im getting HBO for free and Showtime for $8 on a HD cable box all for $45 a month!
score!
Only HBO. Comcast charges 16.00 for HBO, Showtime, Starz, etc. each.
I don't like anything on Showtime except for fights.
You must not have seen Dexter
that show is the ****
I used to have both, now i have none(tough times). I'm thinking about jumping on Showtime though cause what i'm really interested in right now is the super 6. I prefer HBO, but i always liked the fact that often regular shobox championship fights would air on ppv for $25, something hbo doesn't do.
You are not a true boxing fan if you do not have both. I have direct tv, HBO is about $15 and showtime is $8. Showtime has good solid fights now, its not like back in the day. They havent caught all the way up to HBO bc they dont have the same budget, but they are you making the best of there resources.
Showtime has the better fights,less corruption & Antonio Tarver,fights on friday & saturday,all hbo does is take fighters that showtime brought up & make em greedy & stuff network tv fights on ppv!!
Man,, Showtime TV shows>>>>>>HBO Shows.
Get Showtime.
Dexter, Weeds, Californication, Nurse Jackie....All awesome shows. And their movies are fine, I don't know what people are talking about. They got Inglourious Basterds which will debut later on this month.
I heard some cable and satellite companies charge the premium channels on a pro rated basis, which mean you can order Showtime on Saturday and cancel it on Sunday and you won't have to pay the entire month subscription.
Showtime has a terrible movie lineup, but order it on the day of Lopez-Marquez and leaving it for the Super 6 fights in the next 2 week wouldn't be bad either. That's 4 top level fights for less than $15.
