HBO must be absolutely gutted...??

[d801d]

showtime did a good job on production last night. i think they just need a star/guest commentator simular to e.steward/L.L.on hbo or teddy atlas on espn to really add the insiders view on the show. i think this addition would put them on par with their competitors.

the new guy kicks the **** out of those 2 annoying dorks they used to have on...

Showtime does not need Manny Steward. Hell, HBO doesn't need him.

yea showtime has def. been killing hbo this year in getting the better fights.

Theyve got the biggest fight of the year on their network. This will be showtimes only big event the whole year.

I dont think HBO will be too fused.

How many big fights have HBO shown already this year compared to showtime?

Thank you.

HBO would only pick fights that involve a marquee name even if the fight was 50 year old and past his prime but even showtime would want froch or a rematch on their show.

I actually think HBO is trying to get better. I mean Taylor underperformed so many times, they gave him the hook.

So there's hope. But you're right they do love them past-prime guys.

But how many times did they have taylor on HBO when he was basically underperforming??? He was on there because he was still a named fighter, People like oscar, B-hop are alway going to get the "HBO treatment" but we have loads of exciting fighters who doesnt get a look in because of this.

B-hop V Tito II would probably be shown by HBO....which indeed is sad.

Yeah, sad isn't it?

Yeah very sad, Am expecting HBO to screen the B-hop v Tito second fight.

Yeah, ShoBox and Showtime try to fill that gap with new exciting guys.
It used to be that way on HBO Bad- until they went into contracts with some guys and just kept showing them over and over.
I think HBO is turning the corner and getting better.

I sure hope so.

You are spot on, Setanta call themselfs the home of boxing, they have their weekly boxing show (steve bunces boxing hour) as well, yet they couldn't get one of our rising uk fighters on the uk network, shocking. They did try and lay the blame on Froch's promoters, hennesy promotion though, saying they wanted to much money, which i don't believe as Froch would have much rather had been watched by the british public then a ****ty internet stream. Its about getting your name out there Froch knows this.
