Anybody notice this About HBO replays Vs Showtime replays?

ILL DO YA ONE BETTER .....THEY SPEED UP THE CLOCK ! ....CHECK IT OUT ITS AT LIKE 1.5X rounds are much faster than 3min

i noticed on Showtime telecasts that around the last 5secs of a round, i can hear some retard whispering the seconds I've noticed that too. It happens a lot.

i'm tripped out when they replay a fight that they didn't originally produce and they have different commentary. Do they record those in post? or do they have guys sitting ringside calling it just in case?

it would be cool if we couldwatch a fight live with thr commentary muted. just crowd, ref nd punches landing.

Showtime shows the Ring Girls, they win. This Also I see no distinction between the two in production values.

Hey cunt I'd still like to hear the punches and crowd just not the bias cheerleading from the horrible commentating. Of course a Manny cunt wouldn't care since you like hearing a dumbass like Lampley cheering your idol even when he's losing! for the smartest Floyd fan, your blood pressure sure are the fastest to rise. Calm down, I am sure somebody out there already invented device that could cancel sound you don't want to hear,want me to google that for you or you know how to search it online yourself. but you are smart so...type away slick

Showtime shows the Ring Girls, they win. :notworthy:notworthy:notworthy

This... doesn't happen. If you're talking specifically about the GGG fight, it was in a different country than the one it was being broadcast in. For some reason HBO doesn't seem to get those crowds to sound like they do in the US, in terms of picking up the audio. My guess is it's just something technical I doubt they would do this on purpose but who knows.

It could also be something as simple as what the director of programming or the audio mixer wants. Very possible it has nothing to do with it being HBO or Showtime, but that whoever is in position to call the audio mix simply happens to prefer a louder commentary vs ambient sound.

spending a lot of time watching replays lately, seems like you are preparing for some major debate.

That sounds like HBO. HBO wants you to pretty much listen and pay attention to the garbage commentary over the fight itself. I would love to watch fights without commentary and just with instant replays. I can't stand the bias or the cheerleading. Lampley with his bang bang or Merchant with his racist bigotry are a disgrace to boxing. ever heard of a button called MUTE Don't worry, for a Floyd fan you seem to be the smartest

Has anyone noticed that when HBO broadcasts replays of fights they like to lower the volume of the crowd so you mostly hear the commentary? While with Showtime the crowd sounds just as loud and lively as it did when you watched the fight live? I don't know if its just me but I never enjoyed watching HBO replays of fights. It feels like the audience is muted. Watch the HBO replay of Pacquiao vs Marquez 4 and you will get nowhere near the rush that you probably got when you watched the fight live or when you saw a replay taped by another network (skysports for example). Anyone know why HBO does this? It's about production value. HBO does this because most people who watch their programming expect all the bells and whistles that come with the programming. That includes commentary during replays. It's like in the big Hollywood movie trailers. We don't need to hear the narrator telling us that in 2 weeks we should prepare for the movie event of the summer but the studios include his voice anyway because they know the common person thinks it adds value to the product and will be more likely to hand over their money. This is not a criticism on the quality of Showtime's programming, but they do have lower production values. None of it matters because as boxing fans, we just really care about the fight. But the general masses do have expectations for certain things and HBO makes sure to deliver.

I just never understood why HBO and Showtime don't use the SAP track as a track WITHOUT commentary.

probably jim lampley's ass loving the sound of his own voice.
