problem with building fighters are reasons like this. They praise this guy for casual fans to watch him and now he wont appear on hbo for 9 mons to 1 year. hbo needs to sign top talen to exclusive contracts so we know about the fighters.

I'm just speculating, but I think if it's Julien Marie Sainte (WBA #5) at least it will be televised in France.

Any TV anywhere would be fine for a quick tune-up. hopefully they can find someone who has a hometown following and go into a venue there and take/make some more fans.
Does he have a location in Europe where he can fight and bring a gate himself? If so, maybe he could fight an American like Ishe who will travel so that the fight can still get on TV here and get a decent viewing audience since Ishe is somewhat known.
I wish he could stay on HBO, but there are so many good fans overseas that I don't think it matters for someone like GGG who will probably end up being a traveling champion anyway. He needs exposure/money anywhere and now that he has a belt, he can finally monetize himself. Wherever he fights, unless it's another champ, it should be against someone who has hometown/regional fans and he may be able to make a quick rise for his age.
