    Showtime was clearly niased. During replays they only showed mayweather highlights, completely ignoring overhand rights landing clean.

    Refused to broadcast any tweets during the mainevent. Why is that.

    I dont trust compubox stats. Bunch of goobers on joysticks as blind as a professional judge.

    Lets see.

    Showtime has the most invested in this product.

    Showtime also happens to control the message.

    That is all.

    LOL.
    I don't know which fight you cry babies were watching. The Showtime comments were in favor of Maidana for the first half of the fight.

    What did you expect them to say? That maidana was kicking mayweather's ass when 70% of his punches were missing and the other 28% were hitting arms and shoulders.

    Plus Mayweather really threw these guys a curve ball. It wasn't as if they were watching Pac who can only fight one way.
    They were watching a master and trying to comprehend what was happening.

    When a man is so very clearly winning it is hard to contradict it. I dont twitter but Showtime monitors the tweets and they werent showing AnYthing but the undercard was full of chatter.. They were aware of public opinion, perhaps. In a fight this close with so much at stake they couldnt allow their investment that sort of risky exposure during the broadcast. People onthe fence can easily have their minds changed just because they read or hear something on tv.
