HBO PPV is now a dying distributor.

Lmao at anyone paying for a broner /marcos ppv

Lol at thinking showtime will ever take over HBO.

HBO owns everything in cable television. Regardless of the product they give out in boxing their name alone will always garnish them so many more buys and viewers than showtime

I hope he meant buys in the sense of subscriptions. In terms of PPVs showtime has the better ones, both have good overall subscription cards. Just the lack of a viable undercard on the HBO cards is what kills it for them really.

maybe im the only one left but i could care less about all those things i could care less whos talking, what channel its on, how big or loud the crowd is, how many people purchase the event all i care about is the actual fight in the ring maybe im a dying breed

I agree idc what the undercard is or where it's at if you don't like it stream it if you can't do that wait for it on YouTube like me. Just be happy you get too watch a sport you enjoy.

Stale.....

Should have never got rid of Merchant, he was the voice or reason.

I want to see Harold Lederman given a chance at commentating. I like his upbeat voice. They also gotta bring Merchant back.

You fellows couldn't wait to see the last of Merchant. The curses about drunks, and bad names called down on his head were horrible. Now...... you all miss him and appreciate what he was doing. Kellerman's problem is that he was made too much of when he was still a kid with ESPN. He had the most horrible pop-eyed look in the business with his eyes seeming ready to jump right out. And last but not least, that frozen, tight jawed gritting-his-teeth grimace, as if he's holding on to a live electric wire.....

Merchant is GOD.

Most these half wits didn't know what they had with him at wheel.

The idea behind acquiring Mayweather was to change the game, to uplift the Showtime brand in the world of boxing. It certainly has worked, Showtime is the top boxing network ATM.
