    It's just the ratings for the heavyweight division has dropped considerably and the Klit bros fights overseas against virtual stiffs didn't help bring interest to this division despite how dominate they have become.

          Nah homey, I love Tyson too but his time has come and gone and we can only reminisce on the memories he gave us when he was at his prime I just want to see him move on to bigger and better things.

              There are no competitive bouts on the horizon so I understand HBO's stance. Not so long ago HBO could show unification bouts but all three champs now "don't want to lose".

                  No, the reason is because they are sick of watching american fighters get slaughtered by the bros, thats the truth

                    Vitali Klitschko’s dominating defense of his World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight title over No. 1 ranked challenger Cristobal Arreola on Sept. 26 on HBO drew the highest rating of 2009 for an HBO World Championship Boxing telecast. Klitschko-Arreola scored higher ratings than Antonio Margarito and Shane Mosley’s welterweight world title fight and the Juan Diaz-Juan Manuel Marquez bout for the linear lightweight championship..
