lol at Showtime being 'America's boxing Network'

[Derranged_]

Anyone know if Showtime will be picking up the Liakavich-Mcbride bout on Aug.5? This heavyweight "championship" fight hasn't received any press.

Showtime already has two fights for that night. HBO's booked too. Is this fight even official?

This fight has been in the works for months and is listed on boxrec.com. I'm not sure if it's offical yet,though.

Showtime has some shows I really liked ...Weeds and Splinter Cell, and pretty good boxing. HBO has the greatest fighters, but...why does the hbo fighter always get the funny gift decision, hatton, taylor, etc..

Showtime is showing Juan Manuel Marquez and Rafael Marquez (in separate bouts of course) on August 5...

one of the fight-of-the-year candidates of mine this year was on ESPN2 and another on a Top Rank PPV show. I don't really care what the graphics, lighting, or even announcing is like if it's a good fight...

People who only watch HBO Boxing are missing a lot

which fight?

i would assume it'd be televised, wouldn't be surprised if they move the date around so it can be broadcasted on tv, my guess, if anything, would be on showtime

Name some of HBO's TV fights that you believe are so high quality.

For my money, the top 3 fights of the year so far are Lyakhovich vs. Brewster, Cintron vs. Estrada, and Cotto vs. Malignaggi - none of which have been on the HBO network.

Barrera/Juarez, Hatton/Collazo, and Wright/Taylor were all ultimately underwhelming, and Tarver/Hopkins II and DLH/Mayorga on PPV were total mismatches - something HBO is good at scheduling...

Shobox > BAD as well...

And apparently HBO knows it - that's why ShoBox alums Cintron, Sechew Powell, Paul Williams, Juan Diaz, Rocky Juarez, Mike Arnaoutis, Ricky Hatton and many more are scheduled or have been scheduled for HBO dates

did you forget about Mormeck-Bell? that fight was INSANE and also brought to you by Showtime
