    How biased and pathetic is Showtime?

    Before you dumb ****s get on the "Oh your an hbo fanboy" i honestly dont give a **** about the networks but look at how Showtime handles its Youtube channel. I would like to put the videos here but i cant embed but look at the comments from most of the morons that believe a single round wins you the fight lol I wouldnt be surprised if some if not all were some of the trolls on hereWith the bs, brainwashing propaganda that they upload instead of the whole fight they upload the round that makes the fighter they want to look good to ya know.....look good.

    Exhibit A: Chavez Vs Whitiker



    They make it seem like Chavez did a good job landing his hits (which he did) and make whittiker seem like he lost the fight. Notice how in that round they showed the one where he's pretty much shadow boxing and missing (which he did).


    Exhibit B: Pacquiao vs Mayweather



    They show round 11 which is the ONLY round froid shows his dominance being the bigger guy and having every advantage against pacman. Yet he did nothing close to that throughout the whole fight.

    Exhibit C: Mathysee vs Garcia




    A close fight between two top guys in the division at the time where Garcia got the decision over him. Garcia clearly dominated the whole fight according to the single round. Also he busted up Mathysee's eye......which was proved later that was caused by a sholder (which is a classic philly fighter move).


    I got alot more but thats all i want to put up. What do you guys think? I think its hilarious that they only put up rounds instead of full fights. But then again uncla al da main.

            LMAO oh yeah that was great

            Anyway yeah both networks are not hidden in their clear preference for their own fighters. When the networks did promos for Mayweather/Pacquiao, they clearly showcased their own fighter and discussed their fighter's preparation, life story etc. If you've watched many of the pre and post fight videos they make, it's clear what their intentions are.

            Just how it is.

              HBO Chavez vs. Taylor is probably the worst commentating performance I've ever seen, outside of Sky Sports obviously which is on a different level entirely. They literally missed the entire fight. And they were utterly stunned by the last round because of it.

                Yea, I'm not going to defend Show, but HBO has a couple of guys that have been creating narratives for a long while now. It's understandable, but I don't see why people freak out about one and not the other.
                Or worse, freak out on HBO only when it upsets them, but then use HBO to back up their own bias when it's convenient.

                  So overall none of you guys (showtime fanboys) can explain the whole bs "yeah we only upload rounds where our fighters look good instead of the whole fight"? lol

                    Not defending Showtime. Just saying that the worst I've ever seen was Chavez-Taylor. I think all networks do that thing of uploading favourable rounds for their own fighters though.
