Hatton-Pacquiao: HBO Or Showtime?

HBO please. I prefer their commentary team and on-screen graphics. Plus, everytime someone caps stuff from Showtime it never quite looks right - whereas whoever does the capping for the HBO stuff has it spot on (could someone tell me what settings they use in their caps, btw?)

This is a no brainer. It will be on HBO PPV without a doubt. As for a 24/7 series, who knows; they'll at least do a countdown show for it. Showtime, LMFAO!!!

It's undeniable gonna be on HBO.Pac is HBO 100% and Hatton himself most of the time is HBO.

As long as its not on those Top Rank PPVs. Those Top Rank PPVs look like my 10 year old nephew produced them. With that guy that looks like Larry Fitzgerald doing the interviews in the parking lot.

The reason they talking w/ SHOW is because if they went with SHOW they would offer there CBS network for a type of countdown show and ads running on CBS. I'd say go with CBS AND SEE HOW IT TURNS OUT. More exposure on CBS with ads and countdown shows would give more exposure to the sport!

Imagine the build up and promotion being on CBS though! it would be HUGE!!

I agree. Plus, I like the Showtime team. They're not cheerleaders.

I was gonna say for sure HBO, but after you said that maybe it would be a good idea. Even though I like the production and announcers better on HBO.
