    Those are PPV section and not Showtime television.

    That's like bringing up HOB whack ass PPV in Maidana-Morales, Hopkins-Jones II, JMM-Diaz II, Mosley-Mora etc etc....

    And, yes they put on the better fights on a consistent basis, they have the S6 tourney, the have another tournament in the best division in boxing, is not just Rafa-Izzy, It was Agbeko-Perez, Mares-Perez, they also had Corrales-Castillo I, Dawson-Johnson I, Hopkins-Pascal I, Bradley-Holt unification etc etc....their shobox shows well prospects are in tough, is much better programing.

      Still, Sho needs to step its production up, does any of those great fights matter if no one is watching, UFC would truly take over if its only competition was Showtime boxing.

        HBO is way better than SHO. Problem is SHO only has a small percentage of money compared to what HBO has and only a small percentage of the big names. Yet, they seem to put on better fights inside and outside of the ring. Sometimes I think HBO is ran by monkeys.

          any Showtime fighter can be bought by HBO, if they are indeed HBO worthy.

              HBO put on 2 of the worst shows in boxing history in the last year. The first was Mosley-Mora which was a PPV none the less and was basically like taking a ambien cuz people were falling asleep during that fight. And the second was Alexander - Bradley which was the most pathetic fight in a long time and a disgrace to the sport.

              Then they dont pick up Cotto vs Mayorga. And they let the biggest fight of the year (Pacquiao v Mosley) go to a rival network.

              What is the biggest fight thats gonna be on HBO this year? I'd bet Pacquiao alone sells more PPV this year than all of HBO's PPV's this year put together.

                  Every fight u mentioned is horrible, HBO has put on enough PPV Mosley beatings, it may be a good thing for HBO that this is on Showtime. Unless its an upset thats the onky way its worth 59.99
