Corruption potential of Trout winning a few close rounds? WTF??


Anyways... Showtime can't EVER be HBO. How HBO let the boxing package slip through their fingers is beyond me. Oh, I know what happened?!!? Showtime forces fighters to make certain fights IF they are going to be on their station- HBO just kinda lets things happen and followsthe fighters.

As of the last 3 years, in my humble opinion, Showtime cards have been a heck of a lot better- better quality, better setting, better and more exciting commentary (face it, Commentators are equally important to the fight experience via cable. Merchant and Lampley have lost a step!), just simply better in almost every category on fight night.

Showtime doesn't have the experience or manpower to deliver docu-drama's like HBO does- not even close. But, on fight night, they have been responsible for magic. And, choosing to air certain cards and assisting in making fights and their pre-fight promotions (as we are seeing develop quite nicely, especially with the Donaire vs. Rigondeaux fight) they will give us memories for years to come!
