    If you have one its cheaper to add the other on my package. I think hbo is 15 sho is 12 but if you have both its 23 or something like that. I don't care about the annoucers that much but lately HBO is starting to annoy me. They need to get some youth in there like Sho has done.

    Honestly, I don't understand these people. They go along with whatever that crook Arum says simply because of their love for Pacquiao. Un****ingbelievable.

    Wow. Arum has some groupies too, that are willing to follow where ever he goes.

    Go ahead and cancel your HBO if you want but you'll be missing out on some good fights.

    Nobody ****s with Arum or he takes his fans and fighters elsewhere. Allegience is strong. :lol:

    I gladly pay for both of them.

    It costs what? A trip to KFC once a month??

    I go wherever the best fights are. But Arum control most of them. If GBP shows better fights, I will pay for HBO again but I think you are an Arum hater. It seems like you wont pay your showtime just because he is moving. What a ridiculous conversation.

    As a boxing fan, I must have both. I don't watch anything else on Showtime or HBO but boxing.

    Me canceling HBO just because Arum's greedy ass left would be ridiculous.
    Arum thought that he could dictate everything and keep feeding his BS in-house fights to HBO. Wrong. Martinez vs Dzinziruk is way better than Arum's fight.

    HBO has made some horrible decisions, and they BETTER start airing the Heavyweights again. However, I will just keep HBO and Showtime. I like HBO's other programming too.

    HBO took a **** once Max Kellerman came aboard.

    Max is fine, Everybody is good on HBO. I think its only the president who made a bad decision with Bob Arum and it may cost him his job, I dont know

    I didn't see a comment that they canceled because of pacqauio. He's on PPV so if they dont need ether HBO or showtime. But Im moving out of HBO until i see a fight I like. Donaire/montiel will probably my last time I will have HBO. Quality went down in 2009 and even worse in 2010.

    I see a lot of guys I never seen before. A lot suck but sometimes they become player like Direll

    HBO has

    Floyd- MIA until he gets things in order
    Berto
    Khan
    Williams
    Martinez
    Marquez
    Bradley
    Alexander
    Ortiz
    Jacobs-He's from GBP right?
    Cintron
    donaire-I put Donaire and Montiel Here until they move.
    Montiel-
    GBP has a large stable, they rarely get shown

    Note: each has some good names. Guess its a matter of who's developing fighters better. HBO or showtime. Most of the time HBO steals guys from Showtime after their names get out. This tells me Showtime picks better fights to showcase then HBO.
