How how does a Top Rank production compare to an HBO or Showtime production?

[darius45]

How does the production value compare when Top Rank is putting on a fight all by itself? Does it still look and feel as professional as HBO/Showtime...Only ask because I havent seen one. Would suck to pay the same money for the PPV and get lesser quality. Obviously the commentary team won't be on the same level, but aesthetically does it look more or less the same?

They've got Steven A Smith as part of the announcing team. That right there tells you everything you need to know about the quality of the production Top Rank has put together here...

Honestly their isn't much difference in production values.. Different announcers, probably get the colonel or somebody like that. The promo and hype and all the extra backstage stuff is what hbo does better.

Look some previous Top Rank PPV's up on youtube and decide for yourself.

Pacquiao-Solis, Morales-Espadas II, Diaz-Morales, etc.

At least Kellerman knows a thing or two about boxing and has the capacity to astutely comment on the subject. Smith OTOH, where Boxing is concerned, is completely CLUELESS..

Lol..

Maybe because those are all older, but they don't look as good HBO.

The colonel is sickening to listen to, he's extremely biased.

But he's no worse than Max Kellerman.
