    K-bros don't give a ****. HBO can suck a **** and give Berto Millions for fighting 140lb fighters while K-bros make $15M a fight filling stadiums with 60,000 people.

    The world boarders go beyond the USA people, HBO is nobody to the K-Bros.

        They have no business on HBO, they don't fight to entertain.

          I can kill two birds with one name: Andrew Golota

          Golota was virtually undefeated , and was never really stopped when Lennox demolished him in 1 round.

          Golota is not only white, but Eastern European and made more money on HBO than Wlad ever did. Golota had 2 ATG fights on HBO where he punished the great Rid**** Bowe and was beloved for his crowd pleasing style.

            If Khan were white, he'd have needed to accomplish a lot more before they'd put him on HBO.


            Wow................you really are ******ed.

              Just because some of us aren't Klit fans don't mean we hate white fighters. Katsidis and Adamek are among my favorites because they are exciting.

                They dominate guys sort of like Mayweather does by shutting guys out almost completely. I think that generally, the K-bros are boring due to this as is Mayweather in his fights. The Klitschkos and Mayweather are accused of being boring yet Mayweather is an elite PPV only star, the only differences I can see are:

                They are white, Mayweather is black

                Mayweather is American, they are Ukrainian

                Mayweather is a WW and they are HW's

                There is possible competition in the WW divison for Mayweather while the K-bros have cleaned out all the American talent in the HW division

                They are humble and May talks smack

                **Both are self promoted**

                _________________________________________

                Don't know really why HBO won't show them but I personally think it is because they aren't American

                  Ross Greenburg wasn't making the decisions back in those days.

                    No, but he sure was when Kelly Pavlik was conquering the MW division. Let's not forget Joe Calzaghe.

                    I don't know where you get the idea that Greenburg doesn't like white fighters, but that is just truly ****kin absurd. As is the original topic of this thread. People who bring up the race card like this are really ignorant.

                      The K-bros have dominated all the "top" American talent in the HW division and they promote themselves and bring in no money to the US economy. If they were American,they would both be touted as being better than Ali but they aren't American.
                      Couldn't of said it any better.
