Comments Thread For: Max Kellerman: HBO is The Highest Level in Boxing

[Fetta]

Who the hell is saying they won't watch other channels? All that's being said is that HBO is the best. That's it.

Goddamn you PBC fanboys are so sensitive.

Theres only 2 pages. Go look

No way, 'cause PBC is gonna put on Deontay Wilder bum fighting Kimbo Slice in a 711 parking lot somewhere all shot on iPhones instead of television cameras. Top that HBO!

This.

When Larry says "Who gives a damn about so and so" it usually means he's offended. If someone said Showtime, or PBC was the highest level, he would fully agree.

Perfect timing, he's about to have a meltdown.

why are they the best now???

why are they the best now???

If you can provide an argument for any other channel putting on more major fights I'll listen. I've been watching mega fights on HBO for over 2 decades if that doesn't put them at number 1 I don't know who else would be.

Let's take a look at a P4P list and see what networks they fight on. We'll use ESPN's as an example.

1. Roman Gonzalez - Fights on HBO and is also an exciting fighter

2. GGG - Fights on HBO, is an exciting fighter and brings great numbers

3. Manny Pacquiao - Fights on HBO, always exciting and is the sport's top draws

4. Guillermo Rigo - Doesn't fight on HBO but is not exciting and does abysmal numbers

5. Sergey Kovalev - Fights on HBO and is a very exciting fighters, does decent to great numbers

6. Andre Ward - Fights on HBO. Not an exciting fighter but his last outing on HBO drew over a million viewers

7. Tim Bradley - Fights on HBO, bring excitement to his bouts but not a huge draw

8. Wladamir Klitschko - HBO airs his fights and they do great numbers. Not the most exciting fighter, but still an attraction

9. Miguel Cotto - Fights on HBO. Very exciting fighter and does record breaking numbers. One of the sport's top attractions

10. Canelo Alvarez - Fights on HBO. Very exciting fighters and does record numbers as well. One of the sport's top attractions.


9/10 fighters listed on this particular P4P list fight on HBO. If that's enough proof that HBO is the highest level of boxing, then you're just either blind or a fanboy of another network.

yeah but pbc had thurman-guerrero

[tiliheels]

pbc just had to former champs fightin on FS1...i have to disagree here...hbo isnt even giving dates anymore...

pbc gives qaulity and quantity
hbo is trying to give quality but their best fight is cotto canelo...and i think thruman porter is the better fight....they are both prime..and not fighting at a fuggin cw

[tiliheels]

yeah but pbc had thurman-guerrero

longevity isnt the only question of premuim..they ahve cut their spending on boxing every since floyd left....pbc right now is giving quality and quantity...

they are putting top prospect in tought..they have wilder vs povetkin coming up...and 2 prime fights at mw and ww coming after a pretty good year so far already...
