In Recent Years, Which Network Put On the More Riskier Fights, Showtime or HBO?

HBO's risky fights: Pac/Marquez 3 - they thought Marquez was washed up and it wouldn't be close. Bradley/Ruslan - Nobody expected this. Ruslan was an ESPN fighter going into this fight. Donaire/Rigo - Rigo wasn't supposed to win. That's why he's being blackballed. They thought his chin wouldn't hold up.

ShowTime. HBO's risky fights were unintentional. Got dang it you're always on point PBP. This is so true.

Great...another meaningless, line-in-the-sand gossip thread rabble rabble

Showtime has put on more competitive fights than HBO has over the last year. I will honestly say since the beginning of 2012, i have seen better quality on Shotime than HBO.

Definitely showtime. They got Mares KO'd and AB lose his 0, Angulo might KO Canelo too lol Yeah definitely haha

each put on risky fight in their own rights. Mares-Moreno = Rigo-Nonito Bradley-Ruslan = Broner-Maidana Lucas-Garcia = ??? its all relative.

Why do you even think Broner is on Showtime? HBO was getting tired of being raped by Haymon and paying the Berto's and Broner's over a million dollars to pay them to fight the Rees and the Hernandez's. I agree in a strange way this network beef did well for us boxing fans no more of those kind of fights

Showtime by far if broner was still in hbo he still be undefeated ... Why do you even think Broner is on Showtime? HBO was getting tired of being raped by Haymon and paying the Berto's and Broner's over a million dollars to pay them to fight the Rees and the Hernandez's.

Showtime by far if broner was still in hbo he still be undefeated ... I still feel he kind of lost to Paulie.

each network has their own preferred promotional companies they work with. so i guess it all boils down to top rank or golden boy i.e. arum or schaefer. all bullshit aside, which network put on the more exciting fights. here are some choices. top rank: bradley vs. provodnikov - fight of the year 2013. pacquiao vs. marquez 4 - before the fight, both fighters promised a ko and stories came out that the loser might retire donaire vs. rigo - this was for the unified 122 lbs. title. a lot of hard core boxing fans were dying to see this match up materialize. showtime: broner vs. maidana - upset of the year 2013. matthysse vs. garcia - before the fight, many thought of matthysse as the true 140 champ. canelo vs. trout - canelo's first true test in 154 lbs. weight division feel free to add. Moreno-Mares (was so happy this fight was on cause that Lara-Vanes fight was one of the worst i have ever seen).
