    Showtime have outperformed them by a mile, but what makes it crazy is that all the fights come from just one promoter. Another great thing they're doing is showcasing talent on the extreme cards, which means more boxing for us on the right platform, instead of guys like Crawford co-headlining in pointless fights against nobodies.
    Strong network agenda. There isn't even a point in giving a serious response to this.

      I can see why it may seem that way. I wish it was true lol. I am just annoyed with HBO denying us fight fans. As fans we must have high expectations otherwise boxing is always going to remain a niche sport if it carries on this way. HBO has gone so downhill it ain't even funny.

        That sucks.... the undercard looks interesting. Hopefully there's some sort of stream to watch them if it's a one fight only broadcast.

        John MOlina back
        Mora/MIlton Nunez (gonna be boring as hell)
        Interested in Brandon Gonza again

          HBO has had the 3 highest viewed broadcasts of the year.


          You're also saying that Showtime/GBP should be applauded for nothing but in-house fights. It wouldn't be a good thing for Showtime/GBP to have one of their fighters fight a guy who has a pulse who's not with them?

          I could care less, I just thought your post was kinda silly IMO

            Adamek-Glazkov, Degale-Davis, and Daniel Ponce De Leon are going to be fighting in separate broadcasts so there will be a decent lineup throughout the day.

              we just speak the truth. HBO spits out a few good fights with a ****ty undercard then some decent fights with no televised undercard. I am excited for some of their upcoming cards (Wards return, Pacquiaos return,which should not be PPV,Stevensen/Kovalev card) but Showtime has been stacking cards with better fights Zab/Paulie Lara/Trout Alexander/Porter Bika/dirrell all in one night (as much boxing as a month of HBO and then Broner/Maidana Karass/Thurman angulo and Leo santa cruz all on one card.

              Also showtime has a card with bey and jleon love on dec 6 i think.

              I don't see how that is network Bias saying Showtime is killin HBO lately
              I wish Roy would go to showtime though. Bhop will be commentating on the upcoming showtime cards so that is good too

                Meh, I think both networks are doing great. What I like about Showtime is their undercards. What I dislike about HBO is usually their undercards. What I like about HBO is their willingness to match fighters with out-of-house opponents who have pulses. That's the biggest thing I dislike about Showtime, they never ever match their fighters against guys who aren't with GBP, who have a pulse.... when they do..... its showcase fights against terrible fighters like Gusev.

                And the reason that card is so stacked is because it was supposed to be a PPV..... and when they realized they were kidding themselves, they had no choice but to take it off PPV and stack the card, IMO.


                Both networks have had fantastic cards and fights. To say Showtime is killing HBO or HBO is killing Showtime is silly to me. I don't see how you can say Showtiem is killing HBO when HBO has even had the 3 most viewed cable cards of the year, I know you're a little bit biased though, Lol

                  HBO isn't doing bad, I just think Showtime is doing better at the moment lol.

                      Remember when the only thing fans rooted for was a fighter and less expensive beer?
                      the crack baby generation has redefined ******ity.
