    Chambers vs. Klitschko will not be televised by HBO

    According to Dan Rafael's notebook on the ESPN website, a decision has already been made by HBO to not televise Eddie Chambers vs. Wladimir Klitschko on March 20 in Germany.

    Seems like they don't have much faith in Eddie. I thought he proved himself to be a capable fighter in his entertaining fight with Dimitrenko.

    You would think Chambers is right up there in that group behind the Klitschko's right now. Pretty surprised HBO won't show that fight. I actually think it should be a fairly good one.

        That sucks, although I'm sure it has something to do with them not wanting to show a tape delayed fight.

          That is unbelievable. An American Heavyweight that's actually a live body, and HBO doesn't pick it up.

          Totally and completely outrageous.

            Thats a dumb move, this should be a good fight.

            Hbo is obsessed with Areolla though, he is the worst of the bunch!

              They televised Wlad fighting past-prime Hasim Rahman, so why not a prime, focused Eddie Chambers?

                there is no excuse, but they should televise all klitschko fights because they are the champions.

                    Yeah, Eddie Chambers stands a pretty good chance. This would have been interesting. Oh well.
