Chambers vs. Klitschko will not be televised by HBO

[GoogleMe]

I hope Eddie picks this up, (I'm European yes). It's kinda a bad move by HBO, as this is the first real contender in some years...

I wonder if HBO knew with Chambers being a light puncher, that it might be a onesided fight. I like Chambers but I think Wlad and Steward picked him wisely.

its klitschkos people that do this. they rule in germany and expect hbo to bow to them.
hbo likes chambers but its wlad who can't draw stateside.
plus everytime they broadcast a wlad fight they get sued for
inducing narcolepsy.

How are they expecting HBO to bow to them?

I'm not so sure that HBO love Chambers either. I haven't seen them broadcast any of his fights for a while now.

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.

No its not Eddie. They don't have any faith in Wlad making it a good fight. Hes pretty boring Tunney.

who is going to televise it now?

German tv will pick it up

They do not pick Chambers. Chambers deserves the shot by beating Dimitrenko and Chambers is Wlads mandatory WBO.

[The Hammer]

this is rediculous. what if no other us network picks it up?...imagine if chambers pulls the upset to be THE heavyweight champ and it wont even be televised by an american tv station..unbelievable.

They will be embarrassed if that happens. Right now they are expecting Wlad to win, otherwise they would show it.

Wlad isn't boring. And he doesn't need HBO, he's high profile and very popular in mainland Europe.

But Eddie's world title fight should be televised in his home country - they refused to show his fight with Dimitrenko, but he really proved himself in that one.
