Showtime stinks!

[Double_L]

I actually thought Showtime's production values were great. You gotta admit it was sick when Lennon Jr. announced "IIIIIT'S SHOWTIME!" and beams of light came down and illuminated the just-dark arena

Showtime was a refreshing change from the usual HBO PPV. It's a push in my opinion.

Also, I think Gus Johnson should stick to football. I'll never forget this call, now that I think of it it reminds me of Emmanuel Steward's "OH MY GAWHHH!" lol

[P.K]

Tarver should jump ship.
Rjj, Lampley and Tarver= HBO World Championship Boxing.

Some reason I see Tarver putting Jones onthe floor

I was upset at how little the camera was on corner discussions during the breaks. I think we saw Pacquiao's corner one time for like 10 seconds in the whole fight. This is something HBO always gets right.

I thought it was funny how one of the announcers said "Eddie Roach.. errr, Freddie Roach".

ever since i got into boxing, i've been use to hearing lampley and merchant, so i prefer hbo. but showtime isn't that bad. i like the announcer hbo had for berto/ortiz, crazy hair and cool voice.

I liked him, too!!

Yeah, I admit it. It is cool.

Showtime wins: Lennon Jr > Buffer, their announcers actually are enjoying and hyping the fights they are covering.

HBO wins: Picture quality (this is obvious for those who buy the HD PPVs for both), graphics and presentation, Lampley owns Gus in almost every way.

Overall I like HBO more because I'm a video snob and I hate Gus Johnson. Other than that I'm pretty much indifferent.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!

I hate Buffer with a passion. It's almost to the point of mental insanity on my part.

No Michael Buffer, NO Jim Lampley, even Max Kellerman is easier to hear than Antonio Tarver. Please! It just seemed shabby compared to HBO's production standards. Harold Lederman, how do you have it after three? Well, Jim, I gotta tell ya.... Showtime stinks!

showtime has better fights

HBO has better production

showtime just needs to buy HBOs production crew

like kessler vs froch what a great fight but the audio was like AM radio with mid 90s video quality and these guys going "uhhh looks like a ... punch landed", it reminded me of the local MMA dvds from indian reservations even though they were in a packed stadium

[John Connor]

showtime was just amateur compared to hbo.... antonio tarver couldnt even speak at one point, english mother***er, do you speak it!
