I can't believe HBO didn't keep a slot for this fight. They've always been enthusiastic about pushing Wladimir.

this is the reason why they didnt televised the fight

I'd be interested to see the numbers of people who buy the PPV in the UK, they'd do well to break 5 figures

That's not the reason for crying out loud. By the way, here's the full article:

The writer points to the fact that this fight directly conflicts with the NCAA tourney this weekend plus Chambers put on a poor performance in his lone HBO showing. Not to mention I'm sure dealing with an overseas fight is a headache in itself. Maybe they feel this has the potential to be a stinker and they don't want to come and flat out say it. I don't know for sure. What I do know is that HBO is a business and for whatever reason they don't feel the fight is in their best financial interest. One can either accept that whether you agree with it or not, or can you believe HBO has it out for Klitschko despite showing his fights for years. Personally, I think the former makes much more logical sense.
