hbo or showtime for boxing - if you had to choose 1

[fceeviper]

as far a production values and promotion of the actual fight goes I would say it's HBO , but imo I think that the showtime color commentating is a lot better and less biased.

Agreed x10.

You should have asked this a month before the Pac-Mosley fight when all the Pacfarts were trying to "prove" Showtime is superior because somehow they thought it made Manny "de best"

Poll would have looked much different than it does now.

HBO. I love Showtime but it plays a role, it's not #1. And I like it that way.

[WESS]

Which would you rather get if you only could only choose 1 channel - HBO or Showtime? (For boxing events frequency, quality, interest in fights, announcers, etc)? Thanks.

Love HBO and the quality of the production/filming.

Fire drunk Larry, keep Max Kellerman and put Roy Jones Jr back on with multiple appearances by other fighters/trainers. I hate almost every aspect of showtime.

Love the fact that HBO has HBO GO too...

HBO all the way

[El.Naranjito707]

HBO byfar exceeds Showtime on all levels.

Thomas Delorme on shobox tonight....................meanwhile on hbo, we have absolutely.......................nothing.

HBO for the quality of their production and broadcast easily Showtime for the announcers.

That's the same for me

Showtime is much more professional and less bias, compared to HBO in which the 3 Old Men turn into Cheerleaders instead of Professional Announcers and they try to influence the fans watching...especially the Casual Boxing fans

Lampley has sunk so low that he is now call things in the ring that is not even happening hahaha Fans Are Chanting "Money Money Money" he tells you "Now A Chant For Ortiz" even going as low as lying about Punches that are not even landing

HBO need to make a chance, put some YOUTH in the Booth, Switch Kellerman and Merchant and let Roy replace Steward, I respect the opinion of a guy that actually fought before compared to some Drunk Bitter Old Man or some Tin Man Looking Trainer with the Worse Hair Piece I ever seen lol

I have much more respect for Al Bernstein and Tarver because they CALL IT LIKE THEY SEE IT!

But HBO OVERALL Production and Presentation just looks better and more organized

I like kellerman, he seems more inclined to just call it as it is.

As far as production, i like hbo. As far as commentating, i like showtime. All in all, i prefer sky sports (or whatever the euro one is) commentating, they seem to be the most legit at calling it as it is.

I simply cannot believe how many people actually can pick hbo over showtime for boxing.

I mean if you preffer drama & bias over action & purity, I guess you will choose hbo.

Honestly it almost seems like the average Pacman & Floyd fan would love hbo more. Because they preffer the pampered diva like mentality that hbo provides. ps: & I'm sorry Reed but Traver d****s Roy in comentating.
