With the beef between K2 and HBO will Showtime be able to land this fight? That would be huge for them. I also can see HBO offering a silly amount of money to get it and not let showtime gain any momentum....Thoughts?
for the last few years,more often than not,klitschkos do not have the desire to entertain and gain fans by doing more to pick up the pace and knock out opponents early on like they shoud.
they have slow,short,fat,past it fighters,who have no speed and or no power.
and they can not even properly hit the klitschkos.
yet the klitschkos dont want to knock them out,and are fine with cruising along and letting a stoppage happen.
i think general americans and general US sport fans would be turned off boxing and heavyweights once more if klitschkos keep the same way.
they would switch over,or fall asleep and wake up when the ring caller announcs "and still" for the klitschkos.
The problem is that he waits until late in the fight and bores you to death until he actually does knock his opponent out. Sure watching a highlight reel of Wlad is entertaining, his knockouts are brutal... once they come. But having to sit through 8 or 10 rounds at the minimum of pretty much only jabs and the odd left hook in a low tempo and extremley few moments of any real action until that knockout comes is boring as hell.
Klit fans can bring up all his brutal knockouts but that doesn't make him exciting. Knockouts are fun too see once they come but in Wlads case it doesn't make him any more exciting. Especcially when you know it won't happen until late in the fight.
Wlad KO2 Austin
Having Wlad on American television will do more harm than good. What if a casual fan or just a regular sports fan decides to watch that fight, instead of becoming a hardcore fan he'll probably get turned off by the total borefest and never watch boxing again.
If a casual fan sees an exciting fight he is gonna want to see more, right.
If a casual fan sees a Wlad fight he won't wanna see boxing ever again because then he might think all fighters are that boring.
Leave Wlad to the dumbass euros who wouldn't know excitement if it slapped them in the face. Americans don't wanna see Wlads boring ass fight. If this fight is on Showtime it will flop and turn people away from boxing.
I'm American and Im excited to see this fight. Wlad dominates and knocks people out. And Ademak is usually in fun fights so I dont get it. And if its promoted well I think it will do good ratings.
When I thought your head couldn't be any further up the Klitchko's asses... I read this. Oh well, to each his own.
Being exluded from a competitions is not punishment enough, you'll benefit from AAS for many years after your last injection/pill. And if his doctor perscribed it he should've been okay had he shown the recipe. We've heard every possible ****ing excuse from athlete's getting caught with steroids/PED's and they're BS in 99% of the cases.
And yeah, claiming that asthma isn't a deadly desease for example is proof of great knowledge and manners.
I don't see the big problem with coke in moderation either. It's no worse then binge drinking, which is totally accepted.
Spot on! Your argument has one flaw though - I've never posted on a blog in my entire life.
Again, I don't think the fight will be watched by a large audicence on TV in the US and I don't think that HBO or Showtime will pay "a silly amount" to broadcast it. Let's see who's right after the fight.
And, since you ducked the question in the other thread: What is worse in your mind? Taking AAS as an active fighter or doing some coke in a nightclub after you've retired?
Vitaly was given something by his doctor for his knee to heal, he was excluded from the Olympics, so that was punishment enough. He hasn't tested postive since then and there is no reason to doubt his integrity. The Klitschkos have never been known to have taken recreational drugs, while intself, the use of recreational drugs does not make one a crackhead, Calzaghe is an idiot coke-head. The Klitschkos always carry themselves in a manner that befits a champion, in and out of the ring, they are a good example to aspiring kids. Whereas Calzaghe just destroyed a good part of his image by snorting coke up in a night club.
Calzaghe = retired boxer turned coke-head
Vitaly = current champion turned politician for the betterment of his country
You tell me who is better.
It appears that he only blogs and not actually watches fights.

I actually find it quite funny how Boente even mention HBO, when HBO made it clear they wanted nothing to do with the Klitschko's last year. They are trying to play it like they're choosing showtime when there won't even an offer from HBO.
Greenburg stated in an interview with Dan Rafeal that he would be interested in a Haye or Ademak fight with a Klitchko so you should probably research **** first before you talk out your ass.

Are you ducking questions about Gayevid? the fruit fans don't fall far from the fruit tree.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, you Klitschko fans can't get enough of Haye. It's you that mentions him in every thread.
No answer? To ashamed to talk about that vagina?
What's up with that British/Cypriot queen? Who is she fighting next, any word? Another geriatric? I think Gayevid will get stripped because he wants no part of Chagaev or Boytsov or Povetkin or Ustinov, they are all younger than 40 and some are even younger than Gayevid, that's a definite no-no for Gaye.

The fight isn't happening in the US so it doesn't matter what his gates are there. Is he a big enough TV draw for HBO to splash the cash for an afternoon fight? I doubt it.

adamek is in the top 5 in the states as far as gate attractions
mayweather
pacquiao
then probably adamek
he's huge in jersey
do you even watch his fights?
he sells 10 thousand tickets fighting journeymen
all hardcore polish and decked out in white and red.
a fight w/ klitschko would sell out the prudential center
they could JUICE a massive stadium in poland, germany
this is going to be a huge fight as it should be
Edit: and since when does a fight being boring have ANYTHING to do with how big it is in the states!?
have you ever watched floyd mayweather fight?

It appears that he only blogs and not actually watches fights. Like you said, Adamek can sell out 10K-20K stadiums in Jersey fighting no-names without any problem, a huge Polska contingent even traveled to Cali to see him fight Arreola. The fight will be huge world wide - US will watch, all of Poland will watch, all of Germany, all of Easter Europe. Fight will be huge, I bet it does at least $30 million total pot for the fighters to split up.
Doubt it'll be a huge fight in the US. I see it being pretty boring, Adamek will run all night long. Wlad by late stoppage, probably.

When I asked Boente directly if that meant they would take less money from Showtime for a (they also said adamek/Haye) fight, he said, "Yes, absolutely."
http://espn.go.com/sports/boxing/blog/_/name/rafael_dan/id/5380576
yeah,the smart boente business manager will put them on showtime earning them less,just out of spite of HBO.
maximising revenue everywhere!.lol.
Here you go, one of Gayevid's accountants has appeared. You go watch your hero because he "always maximazies revenue" against fake fights with Fraudley, and we'll watch real fighters fight, not negotiate. Adamek = warrior, Klitschkos = warriors, Haye = vagina. That is all, have fun seeing your hero rematch Mormeck and then one more meaningful fight against Holyfield, and then retirement.

It's going to be on Showtime, there is bad blood between the Klitschkos and HBO after Greenburg came out and said he can't tell the difference between the two brothers even thought they had appeared on HBO dozens of times combined. F*ck HBO, with the Super Six, Showtime just surpassed them easily. HBO can pay millions to show us Dawson vs Jhonson VI with a live attendance of 100, but can't show us the two best HWs on the planet who also happend to be brothers. F*ck HBO.
