Like Wlad gives a shit about HBO ha ha ha!

Yea I have to agree these reports about HBO dropping the Klitschkos are really a footnote rather than a front page story. They makes so much more money with their RTL deal than anything than anything HBO was throwing their way anyway. Thats pretty much why their promoters have been making no effort to market them in the United states. It hasn't been as profitable as in Germany and theirs no niche to fill. There's a reason the National Football League only has one game a year in Europe and European football clubs only play a few friendlies in the United States. Same goes for most in boxing.

Klitschkos don't need HBO will always draw on their own too bad haye fight only one that matters at HW Wlad-Povetkin and Vit-Valuev decent time killers

The guy just made an 8 million purse bid to fight *just* Povetkin so why on earth would he give a shit about the breadcrumbs HBO pay? Shit; fighters like Bradley/Alexander/JMM/Pavlik etc don't get those figures! Add to that Wlad is his own promoter. Add to that Europe + Russia combined has near 1 billion people Add to that the $$$ he makes of German merchandizing Add to that the EU TV shows, advert money etc he gets People can hate all they like. I think Wlad is pretty static myself sometimes but the man is the best about and of that there's no doubt plus whatever he hits; he destroys. If people think HBO matter they're ill informed and blind to the world about them. The world has 6 billion people in it and HBO are irrelevant when targeting that audience because even with a 100% US audience that'd still only be 5% worldwide populace exposure. We can say HBO represents American exposure which is true. But equally we can say HBO exposure doesn't mean EU exposure. People are reading far far far far too much into HBO dropping Wlad; it's irrelevant. I've said my peace now so......peace :boxing: I don`t think it is personal. Maybe HBO is financially losing on their fights, and merely stated future plans to protect their company. Or maybe the brothers are demanding too much.

HBO are looking for someone to beat either brothers and since they know none of the pathetic/ fat heavies stand any chance they seem to have cut their loses on the HW scene, Haye, Arreola and Adamek aren't going to do nothing so until HBO finds someone they would keeping shutting the door, the klits are doing fine without them so?

They flat said who they'd be interested in televising him fight. Greenburg basically stated what has been in affect for most of the last couple years. For a Haye or Adamek fight, all sides would care because it would make economic sense for both he and HBO to do business. The Klits can't do PPV in the States right now but they can draw ratings with the right opponents. There's only three right now. One got run by Vitali already (Arreola), another ran his mouth and is now in hibernation, and the other doesn't really mention the Klits because he's doing just fine getting gate receipts in Jersey. It's a big world with plenty of fights to go around. Not being on HBO won't mean the Klits aren't ever on TV in the U.S. or something. Heck, HBO used to only show the best of Holmes's challenges but all of Tyson. It's a bang for the buck thing and also about giving the viewers what they want. HBO viewers for the most part haven't responded to the Klits or the (improving but still bad) division recently. It's sort of incredible. I mean, there have been pockets where little guys (like Floyd and Manny) could generate more revenue than the Heavies but the ratio in favor of those two right now is absurd by historical standards. Holmes could do a Cooney fight and keep pace with Leonard for a night. Even Haye v. a Klit would be lucky to do half what a Manny-Floyd fight does $ wise. Just the way it is.

you guys are crazy, how can you not like to watch Wladimir Klitschko fight? there is nothing wrong with a strategic fight, he's doing what he's supposed to do as a boxer so he isn't the problem it's the people claiming to be Boxing fans and don't want to watch a man box, he's giving you all you could want man he's on a 12 win streak, he fights EVERYBODY and he is not a full of shit fighter. it really astonishes me the amount of hate such a great athlete and man like Wladimir Klitchko gets on here. you would think people would put aside the shitty reasons not to like him and give him his respect by now but people just can't see to appreciate him

Yea man, the Klits dont need HBO. Their outstanding PPV numbers speak for themselves!

Wlad is a cure for insomnia.

;8750664']That Boring ass chinny cunt.Yeah, I am sure that when Wlad and Vitali were informed that they had been effectively fired they had a party because of it. lol
