Why won't HBO put out for Calderon if he fights someone good like Segura?

[warp1432]

I mean those guys make ****, so what's another 100k? Calderon will be on the undercard, but why not televise it?

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

I agrree, calderon should get a Some TV exposure, he is teh best pure boxer in the sport right now.

I guess is because they dont repsect the lower weight clases.

I say, put Calderon in the undercard of Cotto-CLottey or in the next JML fight!!!!!!

Cause casual fans would hate his style.

He's putting him on the undercard of Cotto-Clottey.

• Junior flyweight champion Ivan "Iron Boy" Calderon (32-0, 6 KOs) of Puerto Rico, idle since August because of a bad cut suffered in his rematch victory against Hugo Cazares, could return June 13 on the Cotto-Clottey undercard in New York, Top Rank president Todd duBoef told ESPN.com. "We're discussing it. Calderon deserves to fight at the [Madison Square] Garden on Puerto Rican parade weekend. I have no television money for the fight, but I just love him. If we can make it work, I'd like to give him the opportunity. I also want to give the fans a really good show. I have to give them more than the main event and some BS four-rounders. HBO is only televising one fight that night but I need the fans to get value for their tickets so I have to give them more content."

calderon handlers are cheap and wont pay fighters enough to go fight there
he might get an undercard slot if he fights in the states wasnt his fight with esquer on tv?

Calderon is fighting on May 23rd in PR, with Rocky Martinez being the undecard.

How he will fight 20 days after a fight?

HBO would also air Jermain Taylor vs. a bucket of hair.
