HBO or Showtime?

[Kball15]

It's hard to call. HBO typically brings the biggest names, Showtime brings the best fights. HBO has the starpower, which translates into boring, one-sided fights. Showtime has the guys battling for respect, which means high powered collisions. If you're judging by winning over more fans, Showtime is definitely better for the sport. In the last year, they produced Castillo-Corrales I, Brewster-Liakhovich, Mormeck-Bell, Garcia-Rivera. The only bout HBO has telecast that rivals any of these in excitement is Cotto-Torres, which was an undercard to a boring heavyweight fight. I'm only interested in HBO right now for Taylor-Wright.

that just about sums it up perfectly. good post.

HBO has a great summer lineup though, so if ur looking to buy one just for the summer, id say pick up HBO. But if u can get both, GET BOTH!!!

I was just wondering in terms of boxing which Network you think is better for the sport, HBO or Showtime? I'm talking who puts on better Pay-Per-Views, and overall which Network does more for the sport.

In my opinion it's HBO hands down. Showtime has it's moments(Corrales/Castillo) but I think HBO gets the bigger fights and overall puts on the better shows. Plus I can't stand Showtime's commentators, give me Lampley and Merchant anyday of the week.

HBO's last candidate for fight of the year was in September of last year. Tell me again how they have better fights.

No way. They have better fightERs, never better fights.

HBO does have the better PPV fights.

I think HBO is the better produced of the two and have the better fightersx now. 2 or 3 years ago I would have Showtime had the better fighters and more intriguing match-ups, but HBO if far better produced

HBO has the way bigger names and stuff. the only reason i have showtime is because i love corrales, and hes a showtime fighter. But now i love showtime... but they both have great fights.

The difference is, when u see a great showtime fight, ur gonna see 2 not so well known guys. When u see a great HBO fight, its going to be 2 well known fighters and a sure candidate for fight of the year!

barrera juarez AND hatton collazo could both be candidates for fight of the year. they prolly wouldnt win or come close to winning, but they were both great fights
