Comments Thread For: Pacquiao's Adviser on Showtime, 'Limited' HBO, Marquez

[Las Vegas,]

neither jmm nor pac was gbp during their 1st fight.

you mean the 2nd fight?

No the first fight, Arum doesn't have the rights. HBO does, but since Marquez signed with GBP, GBP also has the rights to the first fight, and all his fights prior on HBO, etcetc. Until Marquez signs with a different promotional company then it's up to HBO whether or not to give the rights to promotional company. Why would HBO give them the rights if it's on Showtime?

There you go folks, right from the horse's mouth........"fans will buy the fight no matter who Manny fights".

Great interview. He took a total crap on Pacquiao fans and basically stated they just pay to watch him, not matchups

i thought jmm was with top rank during the pac-jmm 1?

when did jmm sign with gbp? i thought it was afterwards.

I would like to see a 24/7 on HBO cuz idk they take the fight hype to another level and I think if this is Gona b on HBO the 24/7 is Gona b a classic cuz this is the first trilogy they would have done..and now that think about it I think HBO commentary is better and MAX brings something good to HBO but I think Tarver at showtime does a very good Job too but idk I prefer HBO even though I like Showtime too..

jmm was with top rank before he went to gbp. i think he switched around 2006 or so. around that time. not sure.

well no matter whether jmm was with top rank or not during the 1st fight , showtime can't show the previous hbo fights anyway.

just like showtime couldn't replay pac's and mosley's previous hbo fights on showtime.

either way it doesn't matter.

just because they don't have the rights to replay pac-jmm 1/2 doesn't mean showtime still can't handle pac-jmm 3.

No matter what network they put it on . Showtime puts on way better boxing shows than hbo

[PacTard]

I personally like 24/7 better. HBO should just cut a deal with ABC or NBC to show 24/7 on one of those networks.

They will lose some money, but at least they would get to keep the fight.

HBO is way better than Showtime. 24/7 over Fight Camp 360 any day. Showtime sucks and Antonio Tarver sucks. I hate that n!gga's voice. He made me miss Larry Merchant lol not really.
