This much is clear, David Lemieux and Hassan N'Dam are scheduled to fight for the IBF middleweight title that was formerly held by Jermain Taylor. What's not clear is just who will televise it in the States.
Eric Gomez, the V.P. and matchmaker for Golden Boy Promotions, told BoxingScene.com on Monday morning - "We're waiting on HBO, there's a chance they can do it but it's a little difficult for them because of their scheduling. But we gotta do this within 90 days( from the IBF purse bid) so there's time constraints. So if all else fails we're going to check to see if Fox (Sports 1) wants to do it."
"But we're going to do a pay-per-view in Canada and definitely we're going to sell it around the world, internationally. So it's just a matter of figuring out exactly what we're going to do."
The original date for this match-up was June 19th, a Friday.
"Right now, it looks like the 20th (of June), it's a better date, it's just one day later," said Gomez. "So that would be a possibility and I'm actually going to have a conference call later today with our partner, Camille Estephan."
