i have both hbo and showtime and i watch which everone is showing boxing . as far as the commetators go lampley and merchant tend to be real bias for certain fighters which can make the commentary real annoying also merchant does not make any sense alot of times but he is funny so he makes up for it another thing that anoys me is that sometimes they totally forget about the fight and start talking about something else for almost a whole rnd. don't know if anybody has noticed this??......showtime has bernstein and alberts for their commentary alot of people don't like them but i think they do a good job bernstein seems to know alot more about boxing than merchant and lampley for example he can say things like "this fighter should move to his left and use his jab " and i will be thinking the samething as to where lampey and merchant just call the action not the technical stuff.
as far as the cards they put on show time does alot better job showing fights that could be ppv for free and their fights that are not ppv quality also tend to be better here are some examples
tzyu vs. mitchell 2
freitas vs. barrios
burton vs. elder (not ppv quality but a hell of a fight
fight of the year type fight)
casamayor vs. corrales 2
corrales vs. freitas
casamayor vs. castillo
castillo vs. corrales
and they will also be showing tzyu vs. hatton for free
hbo tends to have the better ppv showtime only shows tyson fights. hbo messed up having barrera vs. fana on ppv thank god i did not pay for this also dlh vs. hopkins was not worth the money i paid and any of the heavyweight king card are also garbage .they have had some good cards on for free also :
gatti vs. ward trilogy
pac vs. barerra
pac vs. jmm
here is some of their ppv that i have gotten that i thought were good recently :
tito vs. mayorga
barerra vs. morales 3
pac vs. morales
and they have tito vs. winky next week and floyd vs. gatti coming up .hbo has the better production but showtime tends to put on better fights on for free and money talks so i pick showtime over hbo even thoguh i wil still get their good ppv because i love boxing .
