HBO PPV is now a dying distributor.

The entire HBO commentary team is a joke, especially RJJ. RJJ Swears he knows everything and why a fighter did this and that. RJJ "you see that twitch he did jim with his eyebrow, that how you know he gonna do the 14 punch combo with the finisher" Funny and true!

Roy Jones thinks HBO means Help a Brotha Out KKKellerman and Lederman think HBO means Hispanic Boxers Out! :bsflag::bsflag::bsflag:

maybe im the only one left but i could care less about all those things i could care less whos talking, what channel its on, how big or loud the crowd is, how many people purchase the event all i care about is the actual fight in the ring maybe im a dying breed ↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑ Truth

Showtime is good, Al and Paulie are exdellent but Mauro is not my cup of tea. Yeah Mauro sucks. Every time I hear his voice I think MMA. They need someone better to be the head commentator there, to complement the excellent Al Bernstein and the surprisingly good Paulie Malignaggi. Then Showtime would have a rock solid crew.

You do know he comments on Spanish fights as well, don't you? Kid speaks flawless Spanish and Italian. :slap: didn't know that, thanks :pat:

They should just let Ward and Jones Jr take over and do commentaries together..

I like HBO, cus it's free haha

English and Italian you mean right :Thinkingo You do know he comments on Spanish fights as well, don't you? Kid speaks flawless Spanish and Italian. :slap:

Malinaggi gonna have a good career after boxing. He can do in English and Spanish English and Italian you mean right :Thinkingo

The production of the show was garbage. The commentary was garbage. The audio from the arena was lowered so we can hear Roy Jones suck Cruz's rainbow nutsack all day. It made it seem like you were watching a boxing after dark special rather than a $65 PPV. Showtime are now the big boys. Broner-Maidana are getting my full support. HBO isn't A+ anymore. It's the Bob Arum show. Well fccn said :werd:

I think them teaming up with arum was a horrible decision

Malinaggi gonna have a good career after boxing. He can do in English and Spanish

that pic is badass :headbang:

Never was a fan of Kellerman, find him annoying and Lampley is just too over the top. Like Roy but he can be biased. I actually like Ward the best of their announcers. Showtime is good, Al and Paulie are exdellent but Mauro is not my cup of tea.

I dont know. I feel like HBO just gets up for big fights that they are excited about these days. As much as the fight sucked I'm still amazed that they showed next to no reaction any time Wlad knocked Sasha down. None. Which was the first time I remember the commentators coming off as THAT disinterested. Jim is great but he needs a great fight or big event to get into that zone he has. I've been watching a lot of older fights lately and his enthusiasm is drastically different now. Max is not bad but he is drug down constantly by Roy. They all are. Roy may be worse at his job than Big George was which is saying something. He has a favorite in every fight and never makes any attempt to hide it. Plus he seems to come up with his talking point before the fight even starts and just repeats himself or waits to yell "He's hurt!!! He's hurt bad!!!" Plus Roy just talks down to Jim and Max and seems to go out of his way to disagree with them or talk over them. The chemistry is nonexistent with this HBO crew and I think a lot of the joy is missing because of it. I doubt seriously that it stays Jim, Max and Roy for too much longer. Showtime may look like public access but at least they are all happy to be there come fight night.
