    At least hbo lets fans text in after a fight to see who won and they have a fotd in RJJ and a elite trainer in Manny Steward

    paula would get thrown out the door if he tried to get a job at hbo
    You don't know what you talking about at all. You have an obvious agenda going by your profile and the fact you think Emmanuel Steward still commentates. Your credibility is not very strong.. Manny steward has been dead for a while now.

    Anyway Showtime have the best team with the least bias. They showed no favoritism at all to GRJ in the Lomachenko fight, in some cases it seem like they were bias for the guy from HBO.

      Showtime definitely are the most biased when it comes to their own fighters or protecting their talent/prospect.

        I voted for Showtime. Steve Farhood knows boxing 100 times better than Lampley and he doesn't talk your ears off. He call punches punches not shots and he doesn't say down goes so and so every time there is a knock down. Kellerman and Jones are OK and I wish they could call the fights minus Lampley.

          Hands down, no-brainer Showime keeps it real.

          HBO is bias when it comes to their contract fighters they are invested in, always have been. When Manny was knocking fighters out that were two weight classes above him they never mention PED use, but when Manny got knocked out all of a sudden PEDs are on their radar.

          Also, is the horrible Lampley show Fight Game cancelled already? It should be.

              Hbo.

              On multiple occasions I've heard hbo guys criticizing their own product. If it's a crap fight, lampley will say something like, "we apologize but this is not normally the quality of fight that we like to show"

              I guarantee the showtime guys won't say anything over the sort when Ron salsa enters the ring.

                  What you said reminded me of the post fight speech of lampley after Manny/Marquez 4..........

                    Hate him or love him, Larry Merchant often kept it real. Now HBO are terrible, and Showtime are under Haymon-GBP control.

                      You would agree with a guy who thinks that Emanuel Steward is still commentating from the grave. JACKASS!!!
