Just because they have "more" PPV's don't make them "better" ones ;)

The people that didn't pay for or fly to Corrales Castillo III.

;D

i dont know WTF is wrong with the Marquez brothers...both of them should have moved up by now for either $$$ or beter exposure...JMM should be moving up like everyone else to 130(EM,MAB,PAc,Barrios,Guzman,Rocky,SOTO,Larios..e ven Harrison plans on moving up)...Rafa should move up to 122 already(Israel,Jhonny,Ponce de lean,Somsak)..the division there in are barren right now they need to move up and stop chasing belts.

maybe Rafael and JMM are just for their weight ???

1. The Marquez fights are on the same card--if you're going to list them both, you need to list the Ouma fight that's on the Forest/Quartey undercard for free on HBO.

2. Those Showtime fights are all free, true, but they are also only coming at a rate of once a month (Corralles/Casamayor isn't until October). HBO will already have shown two free fights before Showtime gets around to doing the same (Toney/Peter in September). Don't let the fact that there are some PPVs thrown in there distract from the fact that HBO has had more non-PPV fights than Showtime this year, and continues to show them with more frequency.

my thing w/ hbo ppv isnt that they have them, its that they have shitty fights for 50 dlls.....aside from pac vs morales i cant think of one ppv fight on hbo that was worth 50 dlls IMO......again IMO......i have both sho and hbo and i watch every fight they put on but hbo goes overboard w/ the ppv IMO......and the constant ball sucking of the hbo fighters by the announcers is also very annoying....

I really like Mabuza & think if he was fighting anyone else he'd go home a belt holder, but Marquez is just that little bit better. Look at the guys he's been fighting. His last 10 or 11 fights have all been against guys ranked in the Rings top 10. Theres not that many fighters out there right now that can say that. Marquez maybe a little bit special.

I do agree with you on all of that. Lampley's performance in the Wright/Taylor fight was especially biased/overboard. But they have had a lot of good free fights this year, and I just can't get past how much better the production value is on HBO than Showtime--it really makes Showtime look public-access in comparison.
