    I like HBO because of the commentators. But showtime has more fights for free (Showbox and Known fighters every 1st of the month). I just dislike showtime commentators.

          Shoulda had a middle option.
          Right on!! I picked showtime though, but changed my mind. Even though I think there is less bias in the showtime commentary, HBO overall is actually the more entertaining just because there commentators have way more personality, even if they are dumb asses sometimes. Showtime has surprised us with some unexpected great ass fights though of late; Castillo/Corrales and now Brewster/Sergei which is a top candidate for FOY.

              Showtime, because Al Berndstein is my favorite announcer.

                It's weird, HBO gives off a whole different feeling to it when you're watching it. You feel a lot more relaxed and enjoy the commentators' voices, those guys on Showtime get annoying sometimes. The producing and all that is also much better on HBO, I'd have to go with them.

                  Total opposite for me.

                  I think Larry Gets annoying as hell. Jim is ok....I guess.

                    HBO has always been #1 for boxing in my opinion, but Showtime and that ShoBox stuff are getting better and giving them some competition.

                    still HBO is best for me.

                      Better fights on HBO, better fighters on HBO.

                      HBO is better
