Comments Thread For: HBO Statement on Mayweather Going To Showtime

[The Hammer]

Showtime is clearly better than HBO now.

HBO just wants to help Al Haymon and Bob Arum showcase their fighters against lesser opponents like Gavin Rees and Ruslan Provodnikov.

Showtime will show an occasional mismatch, but generally only when someone cancels and needs to be replaced. They don't deliberately set up mismatches.

How can you say such a thing?

HBO has been **** for years now. There's no denying it. The crew is absolutely terrible. TERRIBLE.

Al Bernstein is the best color guy in boxing hands down. He's AMAZING.

Ill take Max Jim And Roy over Showtime any day. HBO has Roy...Showtime has Paulie....lol

As for fights. HBO

If the fights get better i may cross over...

Like I said this was about money.

Showtime has improved. HBO needs something cause it currently lacks pop

I'm glad they didn't sound salty about it.

Now we have "Nuts and guts!!!" to counter Lampley's "Bang, bang, bang!!"

Al Bernstein is as good as they are in terms of calling a fight.

Plus Jim Gray is light years better than Max Kellerman with the post fight interviews

[BoxingFollower]

Floyd used to be Mr. HBO...so he's not Mr. HBO anymore???

Hopefully HBO ups their game to combat this move.
