    I have to go with Showtime. Better fighters, depth, better cards including PPV, over all better fights. One thing I'll give to HBO is Michael Buffer, I mean who doesn't like "LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE."

    I officially disdain Jim Lampley... He was always a little bias, but now he's not even trying to be discreet about it anymore... That, along with the lack of great match ups... Showtime by far

    Instead of fanboying on one network or the other, I think it makes a lot more sense to reject network politics and demand the best fights be made even if fighters have to go back and forth across networks. Fanboying networks just encourages the "league" mentality.

    So true, and now he got that jackass Kellerman co-signing his bull****. They were both on that bull**** show of his / The Fight Game / hyping Pac like he produced a masterclass on Bradley. Kellermans mouth was just oozing **** from eating out of Pac's ass. Lampley set up the **** pie and Kellerman ate the whole thing. Lampley's dumb ass didn't even know which Carlos Molina was fighting Broner.:patsch

    Anyone who doesn't want to talk about the subject or talk about how stupid it is, is just a big a GBP hater and/or *******.

    Showtime and GBP have done an amazing job, and have turned Showtime into the premier boxing network.

    Period.

    No one cares for Pacman anymore as evident in the PPV numbers. Bradley and Ward are not liked, unfortunately for Ward who I like. Sergio and Marquez are old.

    Cotto will probably fight on Showtime after his fight with Sergio unless a fight with triple G can be made, but I see Sergio winning in the cards.

    Also it seems Mickey Garcia wants out of Top Rank, so you know Al Hayman will be calling soon. I mean HBO is not what it once was.

    Showtime so far the first half of the year are providing us nothing but mismatches what are you talking about?


    Example of a few big name mismatches for ya below

    Broner vs Molina ( Molina's really a 135 pounder)
    Mayweather vs maidana ( Maidana's a guy that dominated by devon Alexander remember )
    Thurman vs diaz (the same guy that people laughed about when he Khan fought him)
