    If they were ditching Wlad to show better fighters then fair enough, but instead of showing fights they'll probably just show some crappy movie or some other sport that isn't as good as boxing.
    Or Berto and Mayweather.

    I mean at least be consistent.

      People are saying bad move because they are fan of the Klits but HBO knows what they are doing. There is no demand for the brothers and just to make a few fans happy just makes no sense. HBO's been doing it for 30 years and if they say the ratings are dismal than that is just the way it is.

        They only dropped them cuz' they're (hbo) dumb ****s.
        That fight did well because Arreola was attempting to be the first ever Mexican American heavyweight champion. HBO is interested in the Klitchkos if they are fighting an uprising American fighter or an exciting guy like Haye. If it is your run of the mill European they really don't want that fight. It makes sense to me because the last few(ibragmov, chagev, snowski, gomez) were very boring.

          Wlad has earned tens of millions in his career. I'd be surprised if he'd sell out his principles for the extra $200,000 or so that HBO offer, especially when they've just cost him $250,000.
          guess we'll have to see bout that......money talks and bull**** walks...you'll see......

                    The particularly bad thing about this is that Greenburg allegedly had made a promise. Now he backs out and slams the door at the same time.

                    And that's just to add to the bad move HBO makes by not showing the linear champion against an undeafted olympic champion. That must be a first.
