hbo or showtime

[Cinci Champ]

which station do you prefer to watch boxing on if you had the choice? i go back n forth im starting to prefer showtime tho

[Bushbaby]

I watch them both, but prefer showtime. You get the undercard bouts on sho-extreme, the commentators are less bias & the fights are usually more competitive.

ya anymore you cant take anything hbo says serious. the negativity they show towards certain fighters is ridiculous. they question some and give a pass to others for the same things etc etc i just thought bout it this morning how i was starting to enjoy showtime fights more as fare as commentating

[Jack Napier]

of all the commentary bashing here, surprised no one mentions Gus
he's annoying as hell
for that alone, would pick HBO

[MJ223]

HBO for me.......

[figzuki]

hbo for me too...

boxing cards on showtime seem mediocre to me.

Mathysse vs Dallas?

As far as who puts on the better fights/cards, it's undoubtedly been Showtime over the last four or five years.But I find it difficult to support a network that would pay somebody like Malignaggi to commentate.I don't care if Tarver is a steroid abusing milkd^d that cheated on his wife, because he's far and away better than that twat.



EDIT: milkd^d is censored?

Gus Johnson doesn't commentate for Showtime anymore but yea he was annoying as hell with all that screaming.

I can still hear him know "OH JUANMA"

Personally, I find Paulie to be a very good & fair commentator. I remember watching the Cotto/Trout fight & him calling the fight similar to how I saw it. By the judges wide scorecards you'd swear Cotto got completely dominated.

I prefer hbo by far.
