    Showtime is kicking HBO's ass. They have the better quality fighters. HBO is blue collar. Probably some decent slugfests but a grade below Showtime for quality.

    Broner and to some extent Mayweather too has rapid fan bases. Delude fan base, easy to milk the cash.

    YOu don know sh1t.
    First of all. HBO and Showtime are controlling and keeping Boxing alive in the United States.
    Yes course. The best thing would be if the big fights were on NBC, CBS, FOX & ABC.

    But lets be real. That aint gonna happen.

    And there is a huge different between HBO and Showtime.

    I prefer HBO.

    I dont like Max Kellerman as a commentator, but I really do not like Mauro Ranallo as a commentator or Jim Gray as an interviewer.

    Sho can't compete with HBO on any level.13 of the top 15 rated fights were in HBO's favor this year.
    This,despite the worst analyist in boxing-Max Kellerman.
