Why the hell is HBO passing on Wlad-Chagaev when they paid for Wlad-Thompson....

[Dubious-Dutch]

My point is.. They have shown many fights.. they assured and hyped as being an exciting fight.. and they turned out to be stinkers.. NOW they can tell the future and assure me I don't want to see this fight .. because it will be "BORING"

My Man.. Kilitschko Chagaev is the most important Heavyweight in almost 8 years.. It's the fight EVERY one is has been clamoring for.. The Unification Fight.. Ring Belt, UNDISPUTED..Lineal.. etc etc..

Here it is.. and no one wants it???

I am not paranoid.. The only people who don't want this fight.. Seem to be the American media..

How do you think HBO feels after it went through all the promoting for Haye Klitschko? Wlad isn't to blame but it may have been the fight they wanted as well as the public. It will be picked up by another network. Showtime/ESPN and if all else fails Versus. I want to see this fight myself but to go out on a limb and cry YANK BIAS over it is clutching at straws. Some sports writers may be, but a network that has broadcasted many Wlad fights?

I am going to go out on a limb and say HBO has shown Wlad fights that involve and an American Opponent.. Except maybe the Ibragimov fight??
and because that one was a stinker.. This one will be too?

I will say it again.. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT HEAVYWEIGHT FIGHT IN ALMOST A DECADE.. who ****ing cares if it's boring?? At the end we have what we have ALL be screaming for.. A UNIFIED UNDISPUTED HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP...

HOW Can America's Premiere Boxing network reject this fight???

Showtime has had the much better fights as of late. They are the premiere network IMO. Hopefully it will get picked by them as it is a very important fight.

Yes they showed Wlad-Iggy and still continued to show Klit fights after that which proves to anyone they are not bias.

I am not sure why you feel the need to defend a TV network for ignoring the most important fight in Boxing..

By virtue of rejecting it they are Biased... there is really no way around it.. unless you change the English language around so words don't mean the same thing anymore

The problem is you can't read minds just like HBO could not predict the future.

Has he been on HBO before?

Has he been on VS Non American fighters?

Will he be on there in the future, most likely.....

The only reason I know of haye is because he was going to fight Wladimir. I can respect Wladimir because he is a gentleman and a legitimate champion. Wladimir took on Peter when he was a serious contender and was only (in my view) knocked down legimately once. He did cling a lot (which I was disappointed about) but he also boxed very very well.

haye is an ass, that's the other reason any of us in the US know of him.

Yes, yes, and yes

Were ANY of those fights for the UNDISPUTED, LINEAL, RING BELT Heavyweight Championship of the WORLD???

I don't want to down play the achievement but have you seen Chageav{SP} in his last few fights. He hasn't looked to good, maybe HBO seen those performances. The fight will be picked up by a yank network so this really is a pointless discussion.

You win, HBO hates Europeans and so does all of the American media.

Because they have to save money for Mayweather-Pacquiao on regular HBO. Waaaaaarrrrrrrr.

[The Surgeon]

Its simple - theyve learned from their mistakes, Wlad despite his excellent KO% is a VERY Dull Fighter
