Okay guys, this has been looming in my head for months, and I have to put this out there. It's obvious as hell that HBO is going to be the network to air the "Megafight", not that we should care much about whether it happens or not.

With that said, HBO has seemed to thrive on this, and KNOWING that the richest fight in boxing history will be aired on their station, has created this huge wave of bias, to say the least. I know that they push their house fighters, fine, that's what the network is supposed to do, but when it gets this out of control, it exceeds disgusting.

Lampley - After last night's main event, he truly chaps my ass to no end. He doesn't know shit about the action taking place in the ring, and his bias towards fighters has gotten horrendous. Listening to him becomes more of a nightmare with each fight that he calls.

Merchant - If he doesn't see a guy's organ aren't hanging out of his body, then he's obviously in a pissy mood. In no way does he further belong on the network.

Steward - What an embarrassment! For a guy that has been training as long as he has, he's now resulted to providing minimum boxing knowledge, and piggy-backing off of Lampley, who doesn't know his ass from his elbows. All he is capable of now, is reflecting on the Tommy Hearns days, which means shit, if he cant provide significant info on what's going on right in front of him.

Kellerman - He's grown on me and is likely to speak on what's actually happening in the ring, rather going along with the current agenda.

With all of this said, it seems like HBO has become arrogant as hell, since they know that the big fight will be on their network. It goes from Pac, Roach's sub par training, Khan, Donaire, Martinez, Chavez Jr., and a few others...when it comes to their bias and agenda pushing.

Rather than using this megafight exposure to help raise the ratings, they'd much rather "sell" these so-called "name" fighters and vomit a bunch of useless, bias, horseshit that usually sways viewers' perspective on what they're really watching with their very eyes.

Who else sees this resulting from HBO knowing that the megafight will be on their network?

Man that Pacquiao-Bradley fight was definitely the most nuthugging I've ever seen from HBO. I think everybody got a bit of their jizz on them that night. I usually ignore bias, but that was clear as day to me. I don't know if HBO has an Agenda or their quality just simply went downhill.

I used to like Lampley, but idk what happened to him. He used to call the fight like it was, but now he clearly does worship some fighters.
I don't know how Steward is a trainer, because this guy lots of the time has nothing smart or worthy to say.
Merchant... Oh Merchant.
Kellerman, I see a toss up with Kellerman, sometimes he nuthugs, sometimes he doesn't, that night he DID.

Out of Foreman, Lewis, and Roy Jones... I'd probably say Jones is the best at calling things and least biased of the three, Foreman being the most biased, and Lewis just not putting much useful info on the match.
