HBO to pass on Chagaev

[aristotlemoses]

****, try to get this on ESPN.

I mean if HBO or no other network like that picks it up...like they did with the Vitali fight.

Chagaev is pretty mediocre, especially based on his last performance.
high rating or not, hes ripe for the picking.

still, HBO should be airing this fight, although I dont blame them for trying to make Haye-Wlad still happen. Id prefer that fight as well.

HBO is making a big mistake.

No, Eastern Europeans are.

Except for Calzaghe, there's not been a lot of really good UK fighters.

Maybe Cleverly or Fury will do well, but these guys like Sexton, Haye, Froch, Sprott, Skelton, Harrison, and Hatton are all "B" fighters or lower.

Haye is an A fighter as he has accomplished more in the cruiserweight division than wlad has in the heavyweight division.

and Hatton has ONLY lost to p4p #1 fighters and was a TRUE LWW champion while wlad lost to D level fighters and has yet to become a TRUE HW champ so.........

HBO is making a big mistake.

any word yet on whether hbo has accepted this fight or not?

No, but hopefully Showtime once again gets the better fight.

[TheManchine]

This is the most important heavyweight fight in a very long time.

I'm sure another network will pick it, maybe Showtime.

I hope this is on Setanta, because I know what channel I need to avoid.
