    HBO appears lost, they didn't have to break off their relationship with Golden Boy, think about it they say this is an Epic fall but what are the great fights Rios-Manny on PPV Bradley -JMM is PPV, you got a lot of A-sides vs nobodies coming up, Vic vs Donaire at 126? He's going to kill Vic.

    Showtime fights mean more, HBO is all about Arum.

      HBO has been losing the Boxing war versus Showtime. I am not a network homer just a Boxing fan just like everybody on here and the truth is that HBO has turned to crap since Top Rank and Arum are controlling them. I won't be surprise if Arum is paying HBO to show these cards.

      Last year Bradley/Marquez is on regular HBO and not PPV. Shows how much they are struggling to make some $$$. The Cold War between the networks needs to end because last thing we need is HBO Sports not paying or putting interest in Boxing.

        JCC Jr ratings say otherwise

        And I'd bet the Cotto rating will also surpass anything SHO has done this year as well

          Last year Marquez hadn't knocked out the #2 pound for pound fighter in the world. Bradley-Marquez is absolutely a PPV-caliber event.

            Did you guys see that hysterical intro tonight? I was in stitches. Did they even have Rigo's name up there? I was laughing so hard, I think I missed part of it.

              HBO will always have a strong ratings for network fights since they have more subscribers than Showtime. I doubt they ever outdo Showtime as far as PPV is concerned.

                Bet no one is screaming done when Alvarado and Provodnikov are beating the living hell out of each other.

                  What is it with you people and the ratings? This goes far beyond just ratings. Their overall product is trash. What's so hard to understand?

                  HBO has more subscribers than Showtime. And JC Jr. is living off his father's name.

                  Showtime has the better boxing product right now. Period.

                    Molina-Smith was the only boring fight that night...even tho it was so bad it could seem like it counted as 2 fights
