Comments Thread For: Mayweather-PacquiaoBroadcast Team Still Being Picked

[big_james10]

Lampley, Bernstein and Jones.



PLEASE no Kellerman.

I am sure this won't be the team. I can see Lampley and Bernstein as a two man team with Brian Kenny hosting and Andre Ward and Paulie Malignaggi in the booth with Brian providing comments before and after the fight.

One thing I am absolutely certain about is that it won't be an HBO dominated team because Floyd would never allow that to happen. It will be 50/50 or slightly more guys from Showtime.

I can also see both HBO and Showtime each providing their own commentary team to call the fight because, if this broadcast is like the Lewis/Tyson fight, the network with the winning fighter will get to rebroadcast the fight.

i'd have to watch it on mute if mauro was calling it

Well we know Paulie is getting bumped by one of the other heavyweights.

Broadcast team for #MayweatherPacquaio, per sources: Jim Lampley, Al Bernstein and Roy Jones. @Max_Kellerman and Jim Gray reporting.

good with me

good with me

That's the best line-up they could have gone with. Keep Kellerman on the sidelines.

One things for sure Paulie won't be on board, waaay too much hate towards Pacquiao!

I'm sickened as well because he's much more insightful than Jones!

Personally I'd love if they managed to get Hopkins to analyse, but I'd settle with Danny Jacobs, he seems knowledgable

Apparently Floyd's team didn't want Lampley but eventually gave in.

Everyone agreed Algieri would be a great choice.

paulie 99% wont be involved

he has been very vocal in his views lately in favour of mayweather and has denigrated pacquaios name

so anyone who thinks he will be involved is a complete ******

i just hope mauro ranallo is not involved also

i am fine with lampley, kellerman and bernstein

If you're going to disqualify Malignaggi for talking down Pacquiao, you have to also disqualify Jim Lampley, especially after his public rants against Mayweather (trashing Mayweather's legal issues with women, when it is public record of his own issues with women, didn't help things).

Bernstein and Kellerman definitely make sense for the crew; almost by default, Ranallo my end up being the third man at the table.
