truthfully, Showtime has been kicking HBO's ass for some time now and gradually putting on their share of PPV. HBO is the epitome of a Time Warner company. The M/O is to give the consumer less for more. Showtime was giving us more for less. I mean you could have two great fighters on Showtime fighting for $1.25 mil each. Then you would have some contracted fighter that HBO invested in (cough....Berto) getting $1.75 mil while his opponent was getting $350k. The numbers right there should tell you something.
Greenburg saw it coming, he knew the jig was up when Showtime snatched up Pac vs Mosley. Their conjunction with CBS allowed them to reach a much broader audience and essentially pull in 1.3 ppv buys in a fight where Shane Mosley admitted that he went into survival mode so as not to get knocked out. In fact, Mosley had asked Naazim to stop the fight and Naazim wouldnt let Mosley go out like that. It was a mismatch of highest proportions....but Showtime just took a page out of HBO book on that one. HBO wanted that fight but I think Showtime's deal was more attractive.
nikka you can't be serious. Hbo commentary is horrible.
lol, yes it is. a bunch of biased bullshyt. even Manny Steward started gettin in on that shyt. Max is good, and Roy is ok....sometimes but sometimes he is biased too, but anybody else can suck an ass. Merchant, Lampley, and the sometimes blind/senile Lederman....

Harold Lederman tho breh
I don't have any problems with Harold, but he's not a main commentator, just an unofficial ring side scorer
Harold Lederman tho breh
I like the way explains things.
Lederman knows the rules. He is knowledgeable, but sometimes his scoring is way off and his explanations for scoring that way is even farther off. He can score when he wants to, but sometimes (more than not) seems like he is looking to give the house fighter some sort of scoring advantage. All and all he is not bad, but some of his scores be like....
I swear to you, i wouldn't even watch fights sometimes if tarver wasnt on.
This is all i could find:
