No, that is not it at all. If that is the case then how is ESPN able to pick their fights up? Showtime has a bigger budget than ESPN and HBO is not even a question.
The right answer is Tarver works for Showtime. Then add that it has a prospect on the undercard that his nickname is "showtime" that makes it really a no brainer.
:lol1:
I have Directv, do I have ESPN3?
And tarver fights tonight on Shotime right?
Tarver works for Showtime and both the K-bros want so much money for their fights that the networks won't pick them up.

For the record I gave a response earlier listing some other reasons as well but I agree with jrosales13 that this fight is a joke and the main reason for them showing it is because he's an employee.
Watch yourself, some mentally ill retarded mofo might consider you a racist because of that statement.

So you approve of them showing Aguilera-Tarver but you would not approve of them showing Peter-Wlad or Briggs-Vitali?
:nonono:
Your prejudice against white boxers is very transparent. Why not be honest and admit you hate the Klitschkos because they're white?
You racist bastard.
:lol1:
And, for the life of me I don't understand why ROA aka MIB goes out of his way to defend your ass.
Who says I approve anything? The question by the TS is why they're are showing this fight and not the other. And, the answer is pretty damn simple and obvious. Is because Showtime is throwing Tarver a bone because he works for them. Is it that hard to understand?
In another thread in which you kind of agreed with when I said that Boytsov could have the potential to be the heir apparent to the K bros. What race is Boytsov? I was very adamant in YOUR OWN thread that Wlad should pick Dimitrenko over Chisora. What race is Dimitrenko? We both were in agreement when Bute KO'd Andrade that he was the best 168 pounder in the world. Over the likes of Ward and Froch and etc etc.... What race is Bute.
Are you that retarded? Is not about the race. I could careless what race they're. Wlad fighting Peter and Chisora is a joke, Vitaly fighting Sosnowski and Briggs is a joke. Tarver fighting Aguilera is a joke. But, to answer the question is because Tarver works for Showtime and that is al there is to it.
Then why not Peter-Wlad?
How is Aguilera better than Peter? How is Tarver a better heavyweight than Wlad?
Because, it didn't have the great Nagy Aguilera.
I mean all I heard from Klitschko fans like Kenso and Steelhammer(your alt?) was that Peter worked his way back and earn the right by KO'ing Nagy freakin Aguilera. Like if Aguilera is an impressive fighter. Dude is a level below journey man. So for Peter to get shot just cuz of that KO is ridiculous line of thinking by Wlad fans. Is a same that Wlad for being such a good fighter has idiotic fans.
In all seriousness bro, Vitaly-Briggs, Vitaly-Sosnowski, Wlad-Peter, Wlad-Chisora, and Tarver-Nagy are all joke of a fights. They should not be on premium cable network television.
However, the only reason Showtime is throwing Tarver a bone is because he works for the company. I mean come on, what is to question here?
Well, Tarver is less proven and more of a joke at heavyweight than Shannon Briggs, the former linear HW champion. At least Briggs has that KO of Lyakhovich to win the WBO title, and has the most first round KOs in HW history.
And Showtime refused to show Peter-Klitschko...
...yet Peter KOed Aguilera in round 2, and Aguilera has lost again since then. And Wlad is the current Ring, WBO and IBF HW champion.
But, he is fighting the great Nagy Aguilera man.
The guy that made Peter a legit opponent for Wlad the Ring/lineal champ.
You have to show the great Nagy Aguilera
They think Vitali Briggs will be too one-sided to be entertaining and Antonio Tarver is an employee.
Thats what i'm sayin!!! lol. Maybe Tarver needs a pay day lol
Plus Nagy Aguilera is a great fighter. This is a great test for Tarver. It will be entertaining. And, apparently all you have to do is KO the great Aguilera and you get a title shot against Wladimir Klitschko. Just ask Samuel Peter, he stop Nagy Aguilera and all of a sudden he was back on top getting a shot.
honestly...tarver koing anyone at heavyweight is going to be a suprise..

It's Shobox card taking place in the US that's airing on a Friday night that also features Shawn Porter, a fighter they are looking to build for hopefully more lucrative fights on their main Saturday night series "Championship Boxing". Essentially this series is an investment.
Compare that with the Vitali-Briggs fight which most people consider to be a joke that's taking place in Germany under the control of another network that would have to be shown on tape-delay. It's better suited as a co-feature (like Vitali-Peter) on Showtime but there is nothing else to be shown with it or as what is what is actually happening, taking place on a "free" channel such as ESPN.
Weren't the Klith's hbo fighters,that's not showtimes problem,but maybe they will choose to pick up hbo's slack in the future,who knows!!I've always thought showtime had the better cards & the better matchups & fights,if people supported showtime more,I bet they'd return the favor!!
but not Vitali vs Briggs? Doesn't make any sense to me :wtf:
