IMO HBO did the right thing for not picking up Pacquiao-Mosley and Cotto-Mayorga.

Can you imagine a 24/7 with Pacquiao and Mosley? Very entertaining inside the ring but incredibly dull outside of it.

HBO didn't pick it up? They were trying to get both. HBO had a meeting with Arum a few days ago trying to get Pacquiao-Mosley. Showtime snatched it away.

they will re-introduce pacman to the casual fans and mainstream. it will be very entertaining for the casual fans to familiarize themselves with Pacquiao. He will become a household name after he smashes sugar shane. but not for us.

Not pick them up? HBO would have loved to have them, after all, all they want is the $

Showtime simply gave them a better deal

Really? Damn, doesn't HBO have any self-respect. Pacquiao-Mosley and Cotto-Mayorga are meaningless fights. HBO better broadcast Khan-Murray too now if Amir decides to fight Murray next.

Showtime? Are u kiddin me?? Showtime?????

In the words of Lil Wayne to Al Sharpton: "Here's why i don't like you, and NOBODY Respects you"

I can't take Showtime seriously when all of their fights come on at 10pm on the west coast, and have the nerve to have a lead-in bout first! Showtime? We're talking about Showtime? They've never offered a bout in HD, and the commentators suck. I'm disappointed that HBO fighters don't show loyalty to a network, that may not always make the best matches, but do actually give a damn about the presentation, and production of their telecast. Shobox sucks, and the people on there suck. HBO has great bouts on Boxing after dark, and it usually airs around 9pm p/c..Showtime must have Boxing after dark EVERYTIME!! Because it airs late EVERYTIME...The internet has the results by the time they come on the air!!!! I can't see how this is a good move for us casual boxing fans. I agree that Pacman vs Mosley is a total croc, and i think HBO told Arum so, which is why Arum made the switch. Arum thinks HBO uses favortism with Golden Boy and this move is ****** and political. Hbo televises their HBO PPV cards free the week after the fight, for their HBO susbscribers who couldn't afford the fight, i've never seen Showtime replay a PPV the next week...oh that's right..they never have any!!! Showtime is a ****ty network, sort of like a clueless girlfirend, who comes to a fight, not for the love of the fight but for the "event" and nags you with dumb questions the whole time ruining your experience..Enter showtime..no clue..or know-how on big budget fights..but HBO was getting too much shine so here they come..unless they get Money-Pacman..i'm not buyin ****..follow my lead everybody! I am Spartacus and i've led you out of the valley!!!
