      Malignaggi's fights have triple the amount of viewers than Klitschko's. They will definitely pick it up if they haven't already.

        Perhaps they don't like the idea of glorified hugger and a featherfisted fighter going at it.

          Also neither one are exciting to watch. One used to clinch a ton and the other doesn't like to engage.

                Dan Rafael said it would be on HBO WCB, it will be on HBO WCB!! Duh...

                Plus the reason its not on the schedule but De la hoya's is, well its Oscar's fight. More money, PPV at that.

                Hatton and Malignaggi say what you want about them both, but if you can manage to get 50,000 British fatasses into the seats of a soccer stadium, you are a DRAW. Malignaggi has a very big fanbase in New York..Why else do you think they picked him to fight Cotto at the garden? And that was before he was a champion.

                  That's not correct. I don't know where you got that, but it's wrong.

                  If you count the viewers around the world, Wlad's fights have more than ten times the number of viewers as Malignaggi.

                  Why would anybody want to watch a feather-fisted fairy fight?

                    HBO is airing it. Where did you hear that they weren't?
