HBO must be absolutely gutted...??

[Clegg]

Yep.

The worst thing about it is that HBO were happy to show Taylor-Lacy, but not Taylor-Froch. I simply cannot understand that one. Lacy is more popular in America, but he's hardly a superstar, and even at his best he was always on Showtime.

Taylor fights an opponent that he's expected to win an easy decision over and HBO like it. Taylor fights a dangerous opponent for a title and HBO have no interest.

Taylor vs Froch was by far one of the best fights I've seen this year IMO.

F**k HBO with their snobbery, Pavlik vs Lockett was on HBO yet an undefeated WBC champion doesn't get a look in.

Well I actually enjoyed watching it, commentry was good and the build up and interviewing before and after the fight was great.

Yes I am sure they are crying as we speak moron.

I watched the £9.95 PPV on the web, and thought it was excellent all things considered. Showtime's coverage is very good and the dude with the mustache is probably the best boxing annalist on TV, he seems very impartial, articulate and he's clear in what he says. And you can understand what he's saying unlike Teddy Atlas for example.

actually I'm pretty sure HBO is happy with the juanma/penalosa fight.

it highlighted juanma (future star in the making), we witnessed the heart of an old champion, and roach was there which will hype up the pac/hatton fight next week.

all in all, I don't think HBO is too sad they didn't pick up froch/taylor
