      No, the fighters give the fights the fans want, and there have been plenty on each station.. Which to me is irrelevant to which station it was. And actually, Showtime has had more big fights this year, and more fights scheduled then HBo also.

      i'm honestly extremely confused how this has turned into some fan boy competition between networks?

          Showtime has put on more relevant fights though. So again. Still missing the point.

          And the only reason I am debating this is because all kinds of HBO fan boys are saying showtime needs to step it up. Step what up? They have put on tons of great fights this year. Has HBO had a few more that could be considered foty. Yes, but what does that have to do with giving the fans god fights? Not every fight can be foty.

            What a mess Mayweather did to boxing. Fans now argue about networks. Showtime put all their eggs in one basket spending hundreds of millions of dollars on a diva, sprinkling crumbs on their other fighters and that is good? The Mares undercard was more entertaining than the main event. How much did Mares and Deleon got? It will make you puke.

              HBO have better fights to watch.

              Showtime may have more, but they are HBO a few years a go. Easy fights like Amir Khan VS Molina etc...

                I never said showtime needs to step up (and im not a fanboy just love great fights) ,theyve put up great matchups,but those great matchups didnt live up to the hype like
                canelo-trout,may-ghost,mares-leon,garcia-judah,peterson-matthyese alexander-purdy
                those were good fights but none better than hbo's.

                hbo may have put up a lot mismatches and repeated rematches
                but at least they gave fans something to remember.

                showtime put up great matchups,its the fighters that didnt deliver
                hbo put up mismatches,but the fighters delivered.

                  no one is arguing im simply giving props,if showtime did this i would have gave them props as well.

                    Showtime were already doing big thing with their limited budget like the super six and Bantamweight tournament and now HBO cut their boxing budget while Showtime put more money in the sport

                      Bradley-Provodnikov was an unexpected gem Rios vs Alvarado II was more of the same personally I enjoyed Donaire vs Rigondeaux more
