Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao Telecast Will Feature Mix of HBO, Showtime Announcers

HBO and Showtime are working together to telecast Floyd Mayweather Jr. versus Manny Pacquiao on May 2 in Las Vegas.

In addition to making the fight a cross-promoted event, the boxing giants are also going to lend their most prominent on-air talents to the broadcast.

During an interview with 8CountNews.com, Top Rank CEO Bob Arum announced who will call what many are calling the biggest boxing matchup in history.

“The host will be James Brown from CBS, the blow by blow announcer will be Jim Lampley from HBO, the color commentator will be Al Bernstein from Showtime,” Arum said. “Roy Jones will be the boxing expert and Jim Gray from Showtime and Max Kellerman from HBO will work the respective locker rooms.”

With people likely paying $90 to order the pay-per-view, it’s nice to know that fans of either Showtime or HBO’s style will have many of the personalities they have grown accustomed to calling the action.
