Which boxing network was the best

[Simple Southerner]

Hbo boxing for me pure nostalgia

 

[Kovalev's "Man Bag"]

HBO but SHO wasn't that far behind IMO.

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

HBO

It's just too directly tied to too many special fights/moments

They were also in boxing longer. HBO Boxing was around for 45 years, SHO for 37. It's only an 8 year difference but that's still almost a decade.

HBO for their better presentation and professionalism.

HBO was the best.

Showtime is like Pepsi to HBO's coke.

HBO made boxing what it is. Their level of production made fights look like movies. Their commentary doubled the excitement of a fight. Jim Lampley is one of the greatest commentators of all time and by far the greatest boxing commentator. His voice was so powerful & distinct, and his passion for the sport was overwhelming. Lampley, Merchant & Steward is the ultimate boxing commentary team.

Showtime was great too, they were just a few steps behind HBO, but only because HBO was so special.

Shout out to Sky Sports. Ian Darke (great football commentator as well) and Jim Watt/Glenn McCrory was a great commentary duo too.

 

[Corrado Soprano]

HBO was the best. No other network has been able to capture that big fight feeling like HBO.

Boxing was forutnate to have HBO involved in it for as long as it was. HBO outgrew boxing at least a decade before it dropped it.

HBO, so many iconic fights and memorable moments, plus the Legendary Nights series was just amazing at the time, wish they still made those

just yesterday I watched the Golota/Bowe legendary show, some smartass imitated Jim Lampley's introduction in the comments, "Hi I'm Jim Lampley and welcome to one of the biggest clusterfucks in boxing history".

Does that make DAZN generic brand cola?

Jolt Cola

 

[PBAC]

DAZN

Nothing beat HBO. Larry Merchant, Harold Lederman, Jim Lampley. Three legends.

DAZN is like when you're eating candy corn on Halloween because it's the best you got after you devoured the good stuff

That seems very specific but oddly relatable.

Idk if we have candy corn in Australia but there is a similar feeling with the raspberry starburst candy.
