I like how all of a sudden Showtime is crap and HBO 24/7 is great lol. They are both good shows
Bob Arum and HBO make boxing great

To be honest majority of what I like in boxing and majority of what I look forward to is on hbo. HBO does boxing best. No questionComment

Here is a real question. Who says Arum is not good at what he does?
The only problem Arum has is, if you have watched him long enough you get his 3-card monty game, so listening to youngsters (or the idiots he can fool all the time) tell me about him is out of place.
Arum is really smart both on a book smart and on a street smart hustler level. That is a very rare combo and why Arum is successful, still like any confidence man he is going to come through a good amount but when it is going to **** you he is going big.Comment

*** the Promoters and the Networks it is all about the FIGHTERS people are tuning in to SEE THEM not no ***in network or promoter
I've never ordered a PPV because of a network or a promotion it was always FOR THE FIGHTERS!
The Documentary was good because of the footage that HBO had of both fighters from them fighting on HBO for YEARS. Provodnikov vs Matthysse was good in the ring not because of HBO but because of the great stylistic match up in the ring.
Stop giving Networks and Promoters more credit than the fighters because neither would be anything without the fighters!
I do enjoy HBO Boxing Coverage better than most, they have perfected it because they been doing it for SO LONG. Lampley is a Bias Dramatic Piece of **** but nobody calls a boxing match better other than him, maybe the Late Great Howard Cosell and Al Michaels but that is allComment

Sure they have good product, sometimes but it is not like they hit much more often than others for the costs they incur to the sport as a whole.Comment

I would say HBO is the biggest problem in the whole sport, they are the ones that have the most arrogance and they are the ones that try to have everything their way or the highway.
Sure they have good product, sometimes but it is not like they hit much more often than others for the costs they incur to the sport as a whole.
HBO puts on great stylistic matches and provide top quality entertainment and 24/7 is awesome.
It should be their way or the highway you turnip, they lose money if they get mugged off by Haymon like Showtime are, HBO were having none of Haymon's garbage with Berto and they gave that wannabe bidnessman the middle fingerComment
