Bottom production has long been one of the very few instances where data and Standard Model predictions are apparently at variance. We review the comparisons performed in the past, up to the most recent ones, in gamma-gamma collisions, photoproduction and hadroproduction. In the light of the now fairly comfortable agreement observed in proton-antiproton collisions, we discuss what improvements in both theory and data have brought about this change.
