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

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??

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

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.

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 anymoreComment

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

Has he been on HBO before?
Has he been on VS Non American fighters?
Will he be on there in the future, most likely.....Comment

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.Comment

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

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

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