    HBO fight coverage is annoying

    Last nights fight was great regardless of the outcome it was a great fight with both fighters putting forth a great effort.
    But my enjoyment and I'm sure the enjoyment of others was marred by the disgusting pole riding of the HBO announcing crew.
    I'm not sure if it was by ignorance or by sinister design but their coverage of the fight was so bias so disgusting that I almost put the fight on mute.
    It's telling that when you watch the international (non HBO) broadcast of the fight you get a totally different experience.
    I know that HBO has an agenda and responsibility to its share holders but they can not be allowed to let the bottom line cause a conflict of interest.
    Merchant (shot,too old), Lederman(******ed cards), Lampley(knows nothing), it's time to clean house and bring in some retired fighters or trainers.
    Come on HBO get your crap together Showtime is stating to get way better than you guys.
    PS: Compubox is worthless and doesn't count might as well get rid of it.

    First of all stop complain about it. You have the option of watching it without sound.

    Second of all you just wrote a whole paragraph complain about something but you didnt say exactly about what

        First off the guy is paying (most likely) a subscription fee and PPV fee's for HBO Boxing is he not entitled to some fair unbiased commentary or must he sit in silence and miss all the little bits of info u get, corner chat ect...

        Second of all its clear he is pissed off at the bias HBO shows to certain fighters

              Where in his HBO subscribtion does it say "entitled to fair unbiased commentary"? EVERY human being is biased. If you wanna judge a fight based on what they say, thats on you

                  Exactly my thoughts last night i can not stand either one of them with the exeption of §teward and Jones ( they can also be a nutthugers at times) One day they'll be replaced (even though I've been saying that for years)

                    Proof me wrong then

                    You're still mad that i exposed you as a Donaire hater since he's basically the only fighter you know in the lower weights

                    Move on, men are talking here.
