So HBO had the nerve to call prime Tyson a "fly"? Were they f**king serious? Tyson was the baddest man on the planet and they let him walk IN HIS PRIME???
HBO really needs to get its head out of its ass. Top Rank has the best fighters in the world. Why HBO is siding with GBP doesnt make sense when Pacquiao vs Mosley will do more in PPV's then all of GBP's PPV's for 2011 put together.Comment

Good points. But most of those issues can be addressed if SHO are willing to take on HBO and boost their viewing numbers. I do not trust Bob Arum, not one little bit, but this looks like a genuine bidding war, and if so, then surely boxing must be the winner.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!!!Comment

Bob takes Pac to showtime for the new fan base on CBS, with the 360 style show. Mosley who has a good name outside of hardcore fans works well. Bob gets to find out how it works with CBS viewing public (ppv sales) and if it works great if it dont at least he gets to push manny into more homes.Comment
