    Neither. They don't need each other to make big money. That's why the cold war lasts so long.

    GBP puts together much better cards though.

            Since I don't have access to their books I assume it's about a tie. Neither side seems the least bit worried about it. If they were losing much money because of it I think they would try to end it and that does not seem to be happening.

                Viewers wise HBO look to be ahead.

                Alexander v Porter co-headlined with Malignaggi v Judah. That's 3 decent names there. And they had less views than the much criticised Guilermo Rigondeaux against Joseph Agbeko the same night.

                HBO, Showtime Split Ratings Audience on December 7th
                http://www.boxingscene.com/hbo-showtime-split-ratings-audience-on-december-7th--72634
                For boxing junkies who can’t watch the sport enough, the weekend’s action between December 6–7 proved to be an overload. From a ratings perspective, it also proved that perhaps there is such a thing as too much boxing. HBO and Showtime both provided loaded shows over the weekend, splitting the boxing audience nearly in half with conflicting telecasts. HBO’s live televised tripleheader from Atlantic City won the head-to-head battle, with an average of 518,000 viewers over the course of the telecast edging out Showtime’s quadrupleheader from Brooklyn, which managed an average of 489,000 viewers throughout its near four-hour telecast.


                I think it speaks more about the popularity of the network rather than the fighters.

                        Nobody is 'winning', everybody is losing, especially us fans.

                        I wish people would stop picking sides and unite to end this BS. Enough is enough, this must be the only sport out there where the best can't compete against the best. It's pathetic and needs to end.
