    Default What channel do you like more right now hbo or showtime?

    The " Cold War of boxing"

    I got to admit I like hbo better better production better analyst no golden boy agenda.
    Ggg, Stevenson, his Russian assassin that wants to fight him kov, rig, donaire, ruslan, Bradley, manny, Rios, Alvarado, Martinez, fat Chavez jr

    Showtime should just change its name to golden boy.

    Also what fight would you rather see Martinez vs cotto on hbo canelo vs cotto on showtime.

    I much perfer HBO, but I'm biased because HBO boxing telecasts is how I started watching and learning about boxing. A HBO broadcast, to me, is how a boxing match should look, feel and sound (unless we're talking about vintage fights).

    I much perfer the commentating of HBO fights. I love Harold Lederman coming in every three rounds and giving his scorecard and opinion on how the fight is playing out. I get excited about HBO broadcasts.

    Showtime do a great job as well, but I'm not a big fan of their announcing team. I've hated Mauro Ranello for about 10 years now, since he started announcing Pride FC fights.

    I like Mauro Ranello, he makes me laugh!
    Mauro is bipolar, and is known as the 'Bi-Polar Rocker n' Roller'. Check him out on Google.

    Look at the shameful mismatches HBO had last weekend and this and then look at Showtimes lineup this weekend and it's an easy choice for me. I don't give two shits about announcers I usually mute them. I don't give two shits about production, I loved WWOS. I like fights. Showtime all day

    whoever shows the best fights for the cheapest should be your choice.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Do not have a favorite, I watch both with equal pleasure.
    Kellerman makes me grind my teeth at times and if Jim Grey was limited to two questions it would be a great improvement.
    I think I like the SHOWTIME boxing panel more. Seems to be a little less scripted to me.
    I'm looking forward to Friday Night Fights, I'm positive that's less scripted.
