      Larry Merchant sucks but I hate the Showtime guys worse. I really dont like Steward or Roy Jones either but I have never heard a better combo than Lampley Kellerman and Lederman. Popa is good also. HBO should trade Merchant for Tedddy Atlas.

        Agree 100%

        Some people are too short-sighted to see the big picture.

          Real hardcore boxing fans should be rooting for showtime to win this for the good of the sport. Showtime and HBO having bidding wars is good for the sport and us fans, competition is good.

            Fight camp 360 is better than 24/7. It seems like they have more access to the fighters before during and after the fight. And theres no ****** narration trying to influence our thinking.

            Everything else is better on HBO. Michael Buffer, the day of the fight weigh-in, the commentary, the post fight interviews.

                Roy is always stumbling over his words and saying the wrong fighters name. He has a good voice and good insight but needs more seasoning on calling fights

                  HBO should get it.
                  Can't wait to see the outcome of that war.

                    i have a feeling it will end up in showtime and will create another rift between pac and floyd where one is with one network and so is the other....

                    instead of giving opinion, i'll state facts... the move to showtime/cbs prove to do absolutely nothing to impact ppv numbers.. the ratings for fight camp 360 were low, and i mean looooooooow..... ..

                    now my opinion, i hope it goes to hbo, theres nothing like 24/7 and the commentators for showtime are amateurs compared to larry merchant/ jim and who does not miss harrold, " jim i gotta tell you something"....

                    and having watch the pac/mosley fight with many "casual fans" at a bar, many people kept asking where are those other guys (referring to the hbo commentators) .....


                    anyways thats my post, pretty sure i'll get burry by all the same comments that are on this site... "*****".. "*******"

                      I'd rather see it on Showtime actually so HBO can have money for other big fights. I don't have a problem with Showtime really, and there's no chance Pac/Mayweather would ever be on Showtime, so HBO doesn't lose a lot.

                      Fight Camp 360 is better than 24/7 to me anyway. And there's the CBS thing.
