    Was the espn broadcast worse than HBO/Showtime?

    I understand hyping your fighters up but i never seen such circle jerking and laughable statements about Stevenson, Lopez, Crawford(Although you could see why Crawfords hype is justified).

          It honestly felt like a blend of HBO and Show. Great production value. Hard selling. I could criticize but it felt slick and felt like boxing so I give it a thumbs up.

          The marketing was heavy handed but that stuff helps the casuals get into it, which ultimately helps the sport so people need to quit bytching and get over it.

                Someone needs to tell Kellerman he doesn't need to shout into his mic. The annoying part is listening to Ward, Bradley, Tessitore, and Kriegel talk normally into their mics and then Kellerman jumps in and uses his outdoor voice right into the microphone.

                  C'mon dude,if you've been watching boxing long enough you'd have noticed Kellerman has a shouty voice kinda.

                    Nobody can pull off a PPV event like HBO. And they had the best broadcast team.
