    Showtime

    So glad i switched to HBO a while back. Showtime is really on the decline, they have the sleaziest least fan friendly fighters under contract. Also, their golden boy floys is getting old and HBO just signed a young and coming lion. Sorry, Danny Gracia and Floyd Mayweather represent alot of what's wrong with boxing. How could anyone support that network, their cards have also been STINKY of late.

    That little soliloquy gives new life to the term "Out of the clear blue" And while you post is quite wordy, it is also void of anything worthwhile.

        While Showtime has put on mostly crappy cards, HBO has offered nothing. And Pac-Algieri is a PPV, not a live HBO broadcast.

          Broner Taylor was an awesome fight. Sometimes **** cards are made by both sides. Salka Garcia card was horrible and hopefully it's rare that such a weak card is put together.

              The first two you listed were PPV, which is NOT the same for HBO subscribers. And except for GGG-Geale, the other fights were months ago.

                    As much as I want to get optimistic that they'll eventually get their acts together, it would seem that they are in a rut that is not easy to fix. Spending more than $750,000 for a sparring session and on an undercard fight is just mind blowing. Just imagine how much they have been spending on legit fights?
