    Would you rather be fed the same crap over and over again from HBO ?**** imagine a fight camp 360 on these 2 360 is a much better show than 24/7 !

    Looks good on HBO.They have taken the general public for granted for too long.

    From an analysis standpoint, Showtime is leagues above HBO. HBO may provide the better drama, but Showtime has much better commentary.

    A healthy competition between HBO and SHO is healthy for boxing.

    Not when the fights are stupid.. Arum is a jerk.. he'sjust mad over the Sotto ordeal with HBO.... Pacman vs Mosley should be on CBS non cable to get the general public back into the sport.. this shouldn't be a PPV:patsch:patsch:patsch:patsch:patsch:patsch

    You must separate your opinion about the competitive factor from the entertainment/financial factor. When CBS broadcast Tiger Woods play golf in some remote area of the world in a tournament that nobody ever heard of do you really think it is important it is not the British Open or The Masters?

    Dont care to be honest. Its Pac vs Mosley. Although it is going to be weird seeing Pac on Showtime lol.

    Arum is stupid.... he wants to war with HBO but that is only going to have one loser, him. And the winner is going to be GBP... someone is going to have to fill the void and it will be them.

    Thought Arum was smart.

    In any case I'll be able to watch it for free. Both Arum and HBO have lost, Arum being the bigger loser because I usually watch HBO's rebroadcast of a big fight.

    Arum sold Pacquiao-Mosley to the highest bidder and it's Showtime.

    I agree with this comment. You get 50 million threads on ESB knocking Larry Merchant as well as most people agreeing that Emmanual Steward struggles with basic english yet they are considered the benchmark of boxing commentry? You watch Martinez-Williams II and Williams eats left hand after left hand yet it's two rounds of the commentry team saying how well Williams is fighting! Thank god for Lederman and his common sense.

    They dare to try something revolutionary like the supersix SM tourney and the bantamweight tourney to get the best fighting the best and it gets hounded even though new products have flaws. Fight camp 360 is always entertaining and should get more props.

    I like HBO's film better. I think someone on here once said it was a difference of the films on the lenses. Showtime just looks darker. At the end of the day who gives a ****? It's 2 guys beating the **** out of each other. The commentary is just sound effects. I'd be happy to watch a fight with no commentary and just hear the punches and the action
