    If HBO had a spanish commentator, they'd pretty much make HBO Latino meaningless.

    It's not so much about getting a commentator speaking Spanish on vanilla HBO, I'm thinking more of a Latino or two to balance out the panel and make it more relevant for Hispanics who don't speak Spanish and/or giving non-Latinos & MMA fans perspective from what's most likely the future of American boxing.

    I'm pretty sure I worded that terribly, but hopefully it still makes sense.

    I kind of get what yer saying...but I doubt having a latino on the commentary crew or anything like that does anything for them. I don't think it'll do much of a difference honestly.

    I doubt HBO has to cater to an audience that won't watch HBO even when it's loaded with latino fighters.

    I get what you're saying though, making HBO look more global isn't a BAD idea. I just don't think it's unnecessary.
