    Someone please explain co broadcasting an event between Showtime and HBO

    If May vs Pac happens how does this work. Who will be the commentators, how will the screen look HBO or showtime like. Or do both companies broadcast it and you chpose which to order? If this is the case who would you chose?

    Probably have a joint commentating team and have both of the logos around the ring. They should let the HBO production team handle the production because they have the better equipment and HD capabilities but split pretty much everything else. They should also split announcing duties between Lennon Jr. and Buffer.

        James Browm will host, Lampley will do blow-by-blow, Bernstein will do color.

        Kellerman handles HBO interviews, Gray handles SHO interviews.

        Buffer announces HBO fighter, Lennon Jr. announces SHO fighter.

          It will be a 50/50 broadcast. Everything will be split between, ring announcers, commentators, Interviewers, etc
          Thats how they did it the last time this happened, When Tyson of Showtime fought Lewis of HBO

                I would like it to be Max and Roy for HBO and for Showtime Al Bernstein and Brian Kenny.

                The ring announcer Michael Buffer and the post fight interview guy Jim Gray.

                No Lamply because he so damn emotional and biased and he will be rooting for Paquiao, and no Paulie because ever since he got knocked the f##k out by Porter, he's been a little Paquiao hater and would be biased and will be rooting for Floyd.

                I have a great deal of confidence that Max,Roy,Al and also Kenny, will call the action as we see it.

                  if the two networks could make that fight happen, there can't be anything but a singular coward stopping this fight from happening
