What are your criticisms of the boxing programming at HBO/Showtime?

[Lance Uppercut]

showtime needs a better announce team. All they have to do is poach 1 announcer from HBO, and it would make a huge improvement

I would ask them to stop PPV or reduce it dramatically. Put more promotions on mainstream TV like Manny Pacquia on ABC, NBC etc as well as fights.

Id like to see the ring girls get more camera time on HBO cuz they are barely visible... HBO Boxing isn't exactly a PG program so I dont know why they are always blocking out the asses..

Showtime beats them in the ass department too..

For Showtime (which I pay for) I usually have to find a stream for their fights because they aren't played live where I live. If a fight is on at 9 pm EDT, it will be on at 9 PM MDT (where I am right now) 2 hours later.

For HBO, I would like to see a weekly show maybe half an hour long that talks about the sport in general who the names are, what's going on etc. It would be an easy way to promote their fights and fighters. I would like to see some kind of system to their fights not just the routine of Upcoming star vs. Guy with a name that used be a contender. I think something that would help boxing would be making a big knockout bracket system top 4 fighters from each division, Showtime has done it and it makes sense. I want to be clear though keep it simple single elimination, semi-finals and final. Make the pay to the fighters contingent on their success in the tournament to give them incentive to push it to the limit.

You should watch the playboy channel if you want to watch some ass or go to the fight live if you want to see the ring girls. ESPN have some of the best ring girls anyway.

Im more of an Adam and Eve type of guy, Master. Playboy has high quality girls but the programs are such a tease you know what I mean..

As far as I can remember, the hottest ring girls Ive seen live was at Paul Williams-Margarito card at the Home Depot Center.. some sick sick latinas with million dollar asses..

Showtime has come a long way but why is Jim Grey still on the active list? Thanks to El Kabong I found a new hero in James Toney. Lampley has got to stop running his mouth about things not happening in the ring and drifting to a far away place. Stop tiptoeing through the f***tulips on my time. Forget your bias because you just missed one of the better combinations of the fight. This jerk and Steward have the nerve to talk about a bad decision at times and forget that while they were running their motorized lips that a fight ensued. Have you ever seen the look on Kellerman's face? At least for now he is a thinking man's commentator. I am not saying that he doesn't make mistakes but at least he watches, he listens and he has the courage to ask questions tactfully unlike Jim F***ing Grey. Roy Jones and Tarver give boxing a new flavor for the fans. They give us information and they make it fun and that is what we want instead of high priced dull announcers and inept promoters.

I would like to offer a candidate for the worst if I may...Frank Maloneys York Hall shows..Looks like he dragged single mothers out of the Dagenham Job Centre and said "Alright love? Fancy some work tonight?"

Back on topic though..after today I would ask HBO to tell Arum to fuck off with his fake ass "fights"
