SHOWTIME's Bias toward Mayweather was appalling

[money4100]

I agree. I could not believe they had it even after 6. Round six was the very first round I saw Floyd win.

Watch the fight again or change the sport.

I don't really think they were that biased towards Mayweather. They didn't say anything about the glove issues which was bs but their scores and commentary didn't favour Mayweather. They had the fight close to the draw and Maidana in no way deserved more. 115 113 is being generous to Marcos.

What's happening to this site? It wasn't easy for Mayweather but he definitely won that fight. I understand it was unexpected but still he won. 116-112 imo

What annoyed the hell out of me when Showtime didn't show a replay of Maidan's best punch of the fight in the 5th round. Seriously, I give don't care out of about what the corner work. Show more replays.

that was a damn good shot

disgraceful.....after Broner-Molina, I chose to watch ****ing televisa....ignorant ****s too, but they didnt have a horse in this race...and I can just tune them out, because theyre so obviously ignorant not particularly biased....

I did watch it again. Still don't see how Mayweather could have won any of the first 5.

But there is no way they split the first six rounds 3-3 is what I'm saying.

I can easily see 7-5 for either or a draw.

This makes it I believe the third fight where mayweather has fought and the commentators have failed to mention the name Pacquiao. They talked about who Floyd could be fighting next and not even one mention of the name Pacquiao. At least HBO will mention Floyds name and discuss the idea of them fighting. Mayweather has to have some kind of a deal where showtime is not allowed to ask any questions regarding pacquiao in the post fight interviews. I thought that was pretty disgusting of them to not even mention the fight the entire world still wants to see. They act like Pacquiao doesn't exists in the ww ranks.

the hypocrisy is amazing,, u know damn well if this was flipped, they'd be flipping out and on the whole "HBO IS SO BIAS OMGG"

i dont mind what jim grey did at all, whatever. but its the dudes that bash a network for being bias, they have an investment in pac. just like showtime has an investment in floyd, but when hbo does it, it's bias

unbelievable.

When Jim and Floyd hugged that bothers me, wtf? why was Jim even on the ring apron in the corner before the fight starts? he is the post fight interviewer. Why did they hug? that would be like Jim Lampley or Larry Merchant in the corner of Pacquiao and hugging him before the fight lol.

That is the first time I seen this. I thought Showtime was the unbias network?

[hectari]

HBO does the same thing but at least they show replays of both fighters, last nights PPV was the most ridiculous bias commentating I've ever seen.

Paulie will say some things here and there, but even he knew his place when Floyd was fighting.

The commentating was just really bad. And the one guy, whatever his name is, sounds more like a damn MMA commentator, freaking annoying as all heck.

Mauro he is the least annoying he is just the play by play guy he doesn't participate in those showtime scorecards, I don't mind him at all.

Bernstein, farhood, malignaggi were showing so much bias on their score cards. they had it EVEN at the midway point! wtf

I lost respect for Bernstein he has always been known as the least biased, but I guess he has to be the company man now that haymon, shaeffer has taken over.

I watched it on BoxNation and omg it was shocking how much they were all over Floyd, it was almost as ifthey couldnt see Maidana until he was on the recieving end, realy shocking stuff

Its in the contract, you are not allowed to mention Pacquiao name around the DIVA. When floyd went to Africa he gave specific rules through his media person that reporters are not allowed to mention Pacquiao.

When Broner called out Pacqiuao they cut his interview lol.

At least Broner has the balls to call out Pacquiao and let Maidana wear horse hair gloves.
