HBO needs a commentator who can bring a new audience

[leppard365]

malignaggi was brilliant over in the UK.

get him on.

[JmH Reborn]

I enjoyed Malignaggi alot. RJJ annoys me sometimes, but he has his moments where he shines. The shot that JMM landed on Pac and his commentary was gold.

Roy Jones Jr knows his ****, he will make a great commentator if he stays away from fighting and concentrates on calling fights full time. Kellerman is ok but he has a boyish tone, Jim is a legend and with Steward and Merchant gone Paulie could come in as part of the HBO team full time. He should retire soon, he'll make enough behind a desk. Paulie and Jones are two of the most knowledgeable boxers on the planet.

They should hire a Hispanic commentator. That community gives us a lot of great fights but is under-represented in the boxing media.

HBO should hire somebody just because they are Hispanic, not because they are good at what they do. You suck.

now that emmanuel steward is gone, and merchant is retiring, we got roy jones jr, jim lampley and max kellerman left. They'll probably need a back up to rotate in. This would be a good opportunity to bring in a younger commentator who can bring a different audience to the sport.

Of course they have to know boxing as well.

Don't know who this may be....but i am just saying.

roger mayweather

Paulie......

F@k Paulie , he lost to Cano...lol

[ElMeroChingon]

Bring back SRL,

if not him someone exciting, not someone like bum a$$ Kellerman, he starts "commentating loud" so it sounds like he's excited. What a joke.

[THE REED]

Paulie is with Showtime, who replaced Tarver.

this is such an easy fix that i cant believe hbo hasnt thought of it yet.

hire a beautiful woman as part of the broadcasting crew.

not just someone who is eye candy but someone who actually knows sports.

i hear michelle beadle is available. having a beautiful, attractive woman as part of your telecast does wonders for ratings and the aesthetic display of your product.

another thing that would help is getting some new blood and replace jim lampley who still has a great voice but sadly is utterly shot and trouble describing the action, pronouncing words, and offering shoddy analysis on regular basis now.

1. hire an attractive woman who knows sports.
2. get some new blood in and no, bob papa is not the answer.

go for someone like tony reali. a young guy in his prime who knows sports and is great at moderating.
