I really hope HBO picks up Cotto - Margarito II

[..WaRSpencE..]

Umm because they have been putting their foot down on easy matches?

I applaud HBO for making some of these guys actually fight instead of milking it.

Lol..

Berto is fighting Zaveck
Martinez is fighting Barker

and there have been ****tier fights than this..HBO doesn't make the brightest decisions now

Anyone saying it won't be on PPV is an idiot. Dawson/Hopkins is on PPV and they don't draw d*ck. The first fight got 500k buys this one will easily surpass that, with the storyline around it. Showtime will probably get it which is fine with me as it will get a Fight Camp 360, and anyone who says Showtime announcers suck are just wrong.

Tarver >>> Roy Jones Jr. and Steward IMO.

The old white guy, can't remember his name at the moment is solid he doesn't rid the jock of whichever fighter he wants to win like Lampley. He would fit in the Kellerman role I guess, which I would say he is just as good as maybe better and he certainly is 10x's better than Merchant.

Lampley is better than Gus Johnson or Albert though, I wish he would just call for both networks. His cheerleading is annoying at times but you can feel his passion come through the mic more than any other announcer.

Cotto-Margarito 2 should be a good fight. They had a great first fight and a back story, this isn't Cotto/Mayorga or Pac/Mosley. And they're both still big draws.

Cotto/Marg II isn't the greatest fight at the moment, but it's deserves to be on HBO considering some of the fights they've been airing and this hasn't been a very busy year for HBO.

Anyways, I applaud HBO making Andre Berto fight bums on their network and letting him milk their money.

Like who...Berto or Floyd? HBO is playing a part in ruining this sport by glorifying and paying and letting all of these cherry picking ducks select their own fights. While I have no problem with entertainment, by no means should we call some of the fights boxing and classify it as sport. The way things are going boxing is just one notch above wrestling.

I hope showtime picks it. Showtime commentators >>>>>>> HBO commentators by a country mile. Jim Lapley's nuthugging of cotto alone, is sickening!!!

HBO simply sucks this days, Showtime does more with less!!

[Jack Napier]

fuck HBO
Lampley will interrupt the fight to give Cotto head
put it on Showtime

Would HBO be able to overlap two 24/7's with Pac-JMM and Cotto-Marg scheduled 3 weeks away from each other?

This is why I think cotto/margarito will be on showtime.
