Adamek vs. Johnson is Turned Down By HBO

[Walt Liquor]

Eventhough id like to see this fight.

I understand why HBO wont show it. No offense but neither of those guys are household names. Glen Johnson when televised on HBO/Showtime was televised not beacuse of his name but because of who he was fighting (Jones, Tarver, Dawson). Adamek is showtime material because of the action he brings but for HBO it looks like they only want to showcase potential superstars or superstars already big.

You are not thinking long term. Adamek can be a huge name, he's already a big draw and there are Polish people all over the country that would buy his PPV's. Not to mention real boxing fans that like a guy that fights everyone and blasts fools out. They can build up a Dawson rematch and I bet right now, Adamek draws WAAAAAAAY more than Dawson, to the gate and on TV.

yeah i know and he took a big risk more than once, but you know, sometimes fighters just go back home and don't comeback... HBO makes characters, that's their business, they need people who are charismatic AND will stay for more than a year.

What are you talking about? Stay for more than 1 year? He's already been fighting her way over a year and sells 15k+ tickets.

No but I can watch it on an internet stream as I usually do.
