    Fights were great HBO not so much.

    First of all starting with the Perez vs Mago fight the whole fight they only Showed Mago's corner except the last round (And they where speaking spanish in Mago's corner which i found odd) At the end of the fight no interviews.

    That could all be attributed to ""well this guys aren't stars yet and not many people care" and that would be a valid point.

    But then again it happened on the main event no interview from Stevens after the fight just GGG (maybe Stevens declined idk but he was there) am i just spoiled and used to it so much that it bugged me or did anybody else notice that stuff?

    They normally don't interview the undercard fighters.

    Perhaps Stevens wasn't up to the interview but HBO surely cut the broadcast quick. Very little postfight comments or anything like that.

      They were also heavily biased, insulting Martinez until GG looked flawed against speed, then approving of him spontaneously.

      And The MW picture that somehow had Cotto in there was funny. I guess Maravilla will fight him next

        Heavily biased or just stating what most people already know? Martinez has looked flawed against anyone that can take a punch.

            They always snub undercard fighters and (usually) the loser of the main event, as if they're pressed for time, regardless if the fight ended early or went the distance.

            How does HBO plan on building stars if they don't give the audiences a chance to listen to and get familiar with them? Waiting until a fighter headlines a main event is not the best route to take.

            That is one feature that Showtime has that is steadily getting them the momentum. Last week, they interviewed Wilder, Quillin, Rosado, and B-Hop. The general public might not recall the fight, but they will remember Wilder's face when they see it again. Those fighters deserved a little more shine win or lose.

              I enjoyed it but I didn't like how Max interrupted Gennady. And I'm a Max fan but let the Triple G speak.
