Why is this "HBO SPOILING RESULTS" Thing such a BIG deal????

[Kball15]

If you want results, get on the internet. HBO could at least tell people to mute the TV if they don't want to hear it...

Well in all fairness, you can't expect MERCHANT to care about other people, or to be able to fully function as a human being, at his senile age

There is a simple solution to this. If HBO would give a warning before announcing the results, then EVERYONE will be happy.

^^^^ exactly.

And I refuse to believe that any boxing fan prefers commentators spoiling fight results. I refuse to believe 70% of people prefer merchant opening his fat hole. The way I took it, HBO was just hating strait up on anybody that wanted to watch the showtime card after.

well... america is lazy. lol

At LEAST we can agree that HBO is doing this with the thought that the viewers want to know.

To be honest, I get a little angry when people start critisizing HBO for doing this, when that makes no sense.

You ALREADY chose HBO. What would telling you the results do for their business??? Nothing, they are doing it because, based on some sort of evidence, that their viewers WANT to know

actually it strikes me as HBO's idea to go ahead and give the Showtime results therefore defeating the purpose of those boxing fans that watched the HBO telecast to watch Showtime's

... in short, it's not a stretch to say that their doing it to keep some eyes off of Showtime boxing programing in favor of theirs, sure it's selfish, but how else do you explain high PPV prices, etc? It's the nature of some of these greedy execs involved.

....Bingo!

It's annoying when you intentionally avoid everything that has to do with the other card.So you can watch the replay later,and not know the results beforehand.Then out of nowhere,Lamps ruins it for you.They should atleast give a warning.

[DiegoFuego]

thats not hard to believe. But you are in the minority. the other 70% of HBO's viewers WANT to know results of other fights, to save them time and make it easier

where are you coming up with these "stats"? That's almost as bad as Mr. Soprano's "stats" about posters.

I posted this question on a similiar thread but got no answer... My question is, will HBO 'spoil' the results of the Klitschko-Austin fight when it re-broadcasts it at 10:00 pm? (the first broadcast is on at 5:00 then the second one at 10:00 Eastern Time)

HBO had this similiar situation when it broadcasted the Klitschko-Byrd fight last year. I watched the 5:00 live broadcast so I don't know if they spoiled it at 10:00.

I believe he pulled them from the horrifying depths of his unclean bowel.
