Authenticy in broadcasting and scoring of boxing matches - example: JMM vs Pac

[InTheNeutralCorner]

I would be very interested to hear what some of you think.

Really? Somebody posted an opposite view as yours and you questioned whether he's a pactard and using a different account. Are you interested in finding out what the other's opinions are or do you just want people here to agree with your version?

You wrote that the HBO version is distorted by the ref walking in the way and bad angles. Do you think it's intentional considering that the broadcast is live? You might be knowledgeable than me with regards to this but how do they edit a live broadcast to favor them when the action is unpredictable?

The only reason that I questioned him about being a 'Pactard' is because he posted a one-liner trashing my view with no further justification, oh and he's only got 2 posts on the account: a reasonable assumption. If he had happened to disagree and started to have a serious debate with me (pref on his actual account), I'd never do such a thing.

Hurt feelings aside, you raise a good point about the HBO one being filmed live. Although I do have a background in electronics, I don't know how they film live TV, especially something like boxing where I'd assume they only have a certain number of cameras for all broadcasts. Does HBO generally edit between the live broadcast and a version that they replay? I'm just curious as to why there is such a vast difference between their version and the Primetime one.

The Pacquiao fans who thought he won have had no hesitation in saying so. None of them would use an alternate account to do so and insulting someone who only has a couple of posts for having a reasonable position isn't likely to make him, or any other lurker, post more in the future.

I thought Marquez won, but it was a close fight and I can understand why HBO called things the way they did.
