Seeing how bad HBO was for the Lucas/Provodnikov fight, 5/2 will be even worse

    Watch them be completely and utterly biased for Pac on the night of.

    1 punch from Pac and they'll be jumping up and down.

    :deal

    I see Bernstein POSSIBLY being unbiased, but RJJ/Lampley will be horrid.

    yeah, they were always biased against Mayweather and biased for Pacquiao, but man, it's going to be near insufferable if you have to hear it

    I'm curious how much of this is even intentional by Lampley at this point and how much is the product of senility. Like he always had his favorites (cough cough Barrera) but the extent to which he calls punches that aren't landing anymore is really astounding.

    Paulie's the only one completely biased on Showtime. Their whole crew was dumping on Chavez last night, just like they did on Mares in the first Agbeko fight. Trying to pretend they're nearly as bad as the HBO crew at this point is a cop-out.

    Seriously compare how frequently Farhood's cards go against the favored network fighter to Lederman.

    Paulie is definitely biased but I think he admires Floyd's style as a technician. Not sure why Paulie has a thing against Pac. Renoto definitely goes over the top.

    Kenney barely tolerates Floyd. Only haters would say Bernstein is biased.

    then don't forget Roy Jones came out with that video hating on Mayweather months ago. The commentary will be extremely biased

    Who cares about commentators anyway? I wish they were all for Floyd and the judges were somewhat fair. You'll think there are judges but there will really be 3 MVC's on that table.

    it ruins the quality of the fight as you have to put up with re****s calling punches that aren't landing and it helps fool everybody into thinking a fight is going a certain way
