Comments Thread For: UFC's Dana White: Showtime is Kicking HBO's Ass

[mikinoki]

I think Showtime is the number one boxing network now and it showed last weekend. That they are no longer in second place anymore to HBO.

That's to early to tell.HBO do have better ratings and had a better year so far..

Showtime vs HBO. Last weekend fights GBP had fights in NYC and the UK pretty good turn outs. While Dan Gossen had an okay turnout and LOU Dibella had a sold out fight in Argentina in the rain. When I was watching the Martinez vs Murray fight I thought I was in the 80's again.

HBO has Buffer, which is the most important thing.

Dana White needs to stfu!! Now all of a sudden he's a boxing expert after he spent the last decade talking shyt about boxing and how MMA is going to takeover and put Boxing out of business!!?? Get the F**k outta here with that bull****!! Where is MMA now?? It's garbage and no one gives a shyt about it. Even Showtime booted his ass...

I could be wrong, but I think he said Boxing is going to put itself out of business. Its mostly boxing or UFC fans that put those kinds of words in his mouth. He has said boxing is disfunctional, and I'm inclined to agree, as the best fighting the best is a tedious and rare occurance. Dana White is a boxing fan, and I think his commentary on boxing is pretty on point most of the time.

To assume MMA and Boxing are in competition is like assuming that Tennis and Volleyball are in competition.

Are you high? The UFC is on freaking FOX, why on earth would they be butt hurt? FOX freaking LOVES the UFC and the UFC apparently also loves FOX and they were so successful they're launching a new sports channel which will also have UFC programming along with the others. They have been breaking record after record and things seem to be only starting for them. I'm happy for them, why can't you?

Exactly it's on a channel the low life's don't have to pay 10 bucks a month extra to watch. That's ten bucks more towards their heroin and tattoo budget. Of course they love it.

HBO looked like crap last night if were being honest. The only thing they did was have a decent new opening to HBO boxing I haven't seen.

I know everyone will come in here and say HBO boxing has been king for years, blah blah blah, but I think Showtime is fresher and new, has better talent fighting for them, and will continue to gain viewers.

Nah even if showtme boxing is way better the channel as a whole blows and not many people are going to buy it just for boxing. HBO has a way better cable package and programming. And they are going to keep doing boxing so the people they show will get popular. Call your cable company. HBO is expensive but they'll damn near give showtime away for free cuz it sucks so bad.

Well said.

This comment has no merit and is out of pure ignorance. You obviously don't know anything about Fox.

Showtime put on a *****fe$t the first three months of the year and everybody is acting like showtime has fully taking ova the sport. The last two weeks have been good but damn lets wait alittle b4 we hand the throne over.and don't care how u slice it that rua guy or whatever his name is sucks at calling fights.
