      Paulie Malignaggi is a third-rate guy and he got numerous HBO dates. What about Hatton, Pavlik, Gatti? Fighters that generate interest in America get on HBO. Period.

      Sergio Martinez was a nobody from Argentina, but following his great performance against Bumena he's fought on HBO three times. People want to see him.

      I'm really, really sorry the heavyweight champion of the world cant generate enough interest to be on HBO, but these excuses are pathetic. His fights are not what the American public wants to see. Get it through your thick, thick skulls. Boxing is business, and HBO would not stop showing a fighter that was giving them good ratings.

      Lots of guys of all races and many different nationalities have generated ratings and interest for HBO. At this point the Klitschkos are just not among them.

        Calzaghe has about 20 successful title defenses before they had him on.

        Kelly Pavlik was originally an opponent for Miranda, he wasn't supposed to win.

        Even the very influential Bob Arum said in 2007 he had a difficult time persuading HBO to have Pavlik on.

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

            It's a fucking disgrace. Fuck HBO and fuck that ****** *** Greenburg.

            Greenburg is a typical ***ish affirmitive action ******* *****. He just wants to have blacks and latinos on HBO. He's clearly prejudiced against White European fighters.

            HBO's loss is Showtime's gain.

            Showtime >>>>> HBO

              but they're ALL beatable....in other words, you can find a American that can spank those dudes....but the ones they thought would give the Klits a run for the straps got DOMINATED and/or STOPPED!!....HBO is ran by a bunch of pricks....but at least they're not acting outta character by black ballin the HW Kings.

                Hatton was in that list but somehow you claim he isnt white? *** off with your racist ****, the klitschkos are boring as fcuk too 99.9% of boxing fans. This isnt all their fault i admit, but still, they are boring.

                  How many fights have the Klitschkos had on HBO? 15? 20? Theyre not on anymore because they're not a draw anymore. Look at this: HBO doing a featurette on the Klitschkos, trying to get people interested.




                  A bunch of anti-white racists, huh? You guys are ****ing pathetic. Argument over.

                    Im sure the reasob is that they are now feeling bitterness towards the brothers. Because they are not Americans, and most importantly, they are both greater than Ali.

                      Yeah, the big difference beween Ali and eithr of the Klits is that ALi fought certified bums, while the klits are too dominating every opponent of theirs are looking like bums
