Why don't Americans understand national commentary?

[Frighteous]

Yeah thats what im saying...its comparible to what goes in a certain state, like I bet the kelly pavlik fights in ohio are probably some serious bias commentary...but its ok they dont produce world championship boxers very often so its cool

maybe a little bit. but it was just overboard last night.

the only broadcaster I liked listening to was that irishman. sounded like he had taken and given a few beatings in his time. you gotta watch yourself when you're around irish that speak like that there is a crazy mofo among them.

2 kinds of people are cool with suicide bombs

arabs and irish

crazy ****ers

british commentators are pretty neutral when the fighters arent british

when they are well that's another story

its like an orgy in the tube

I have heard a number of people, mostly from the US go on about the commentary in the haye-ruiz fight last night, and this isn't the first time. Why don't you guys understand...of course they want Haye a british fighter to do well and there gonna call the fight from his point of view. I have lived half my life in california so maybe I understand better having lived in both, but you can't compare the situation because first it is such a large country, and second, there are a lot more fights where two americans are fighting each other so in general HBO and Showtime 2 national networks have more of an obligation to be neutral.

The only way I can make you understand is for example...I am a big NBA fan, and when I lived in cali whenever you watch a game on a national network like nbc, or tnt the commentary is neutral, but when I watched the Golden State Warriors games on local tv the commentary was biased and geared towards the home team. This is the only logical way I can make you idiots understand.

Yes they are biased, there not pretending to be neutral! There is nothing wrong with it especially when your country only has 57 million people.

There is a difference between being biased and just talking out your ass.

most of the time i dont find them overly biased, they just get carried away with some comments

You should of heard the Sky commentary for JMM/ Mayweather, jeez!

I'm not from USA, but must say that English commentators were ridiculous. It was something between war propaganda and childish babbling. Sometimes funny but mostly disgusting. They were fans rather than commentators.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

dude, they were comparing haye to ali. ALI!!!!!

that just goes to show you that commentary was garbage.

They compared his speed to Ali's speed. Not a direct comparison as fighters.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

The British commentary is GARBAGE and so is Americas commentary.

Watch the Cavs play on the local station....They ride Lebron's **** like no other.

[Irish Hitman]

I dont see why people are complaining about UK commentators, HBO are good but the can say ****** things a lot of the time, ****, and @retnuocllup they werent comparing him to ALI they said he might be the fastest since Ali
