    No its not, no one in America has heard of Chagaev and very few have heard of Klitschko.. So whats the point of showing it in the US?
    Some have heard of Wladimir, but no Americans except for a very few hard-core boxing fans have ever heard of David Haye.

    In the past they've had Wladimir on, but now Greenburg is making the decisions and he prefers to NOT have Europeans on HBO, that's why he passed on Adamek-Johnson and Froch-Taylor.

      The simple answer is that HBO don't think enough people will want to watch it to make it worthwhile to them.

      Tunney is probably right about Haye, but in Haye's case it was all about potential; if he had won he has the personality and charisma to become a huge star in North America as well as the UK, and hence make HBO boatloads of money. Even Chagaev's mother would have to admit that isn't true of Chagaev.
