    You said quick fashion. Kovalev has been on HBO once if I am not mistaken. I dont watch boxing for knockouts. If the opponent puts up a tough fight even though he should lose, more pleasure for me. Im happy i have both, but its clear who hypes up fighters more than the other.

      i have both but dont watch regular bull**** TV...i STRICTLY watch boxing

      i dont watch any of these ****in shows nor do i have time to keep up with them. entourage, sopranos, true blood, game of thrones, ..all that **** never interested me. i strictly watch boxing and thats pretty much it other than an occasional movie

      as for HBO, they better get their act together because i might just drop them altogether. most of my favorite fighters are already on showtime anyway.

      i wish there was a way i can just pay for sporting events honestly. its a waste of money to subscribe to these channels and i hardly ever watch em

        Kovalev has been on HBO twice and his 3rd appearance is this weekend.

        Yes it is clear who hypes more - Showtime. Broner is the most overrated hypejob in modern athletics.

            Both, always have and always will. Great programming on both. I am actually also subscribed to Starz and Max something as well which I don't ever watch.

              Im a fan of Kovalez from watching him on NBCSports, and you were right twice, but Broner has on been on Shtime twice, so wouldnt you agree that most of the hype came from HBO? But thats neither here nor there. I would say harold Mionor was the biggest hypejob.

              I have both, will continue to enjoy boxing on both as well as FoxSports1, NBCSports, ESPN, and the mexican channels when I see them. I get more fights, and see newer fighters on Shotime more than I do HBO. You want to call it hyping up fighters, but HBO far exceeds Shotime on that avenue.

                Starz usually has some very watchable movies. HBO has better movies, but Shotime gives better boxing (in my opinion). Dont care about those shows that come on. Rather watch some basketball when I get home.

                  I only have HBO. HBO has better shows and I feel like HBO's cards are better. The TR guys seem more willing to go to war. Showtime has names (Fraud, Canelo, etc), but the matchmaking is lacking.

                    Broner was getting hyped by HBO as well. They had a 2 days and a HBO connect on their website. They literally helped put him on the map as the next big thing.

                      I rarely see Bernstein, Kenny and others, so I've canceled my Showtime subscription. They're obviously focus on PPVs, so be it. I'll pay as I watch. Subscriptions are a waste of money in this case if you're only after boxing.
