YAHOO'S IOLE talks about HBO's snub of Pirog

[Dynamite Kid]

[tesla_power]

Yeah. Noticed this one as well. I don't get it. From the looks of it, he could be a star, he got the confidence , the swag , likes to exchange, a very good chin to do that as well , and I'd say above average power.

[Devils Advocate]

whatever it wasn't the real middleweight championship, but HBO could have done at least interviewed Pirog he won.

[ChampBox@PR]

Iole is 100% right.

HBO= GBPs + al ****ing Haymon

[ATG Fighter]

What a disgrace that was. This is what is letting down the sport. There is no concept of merit-- that the best fighter deserves everything instead of the guy with the better promoter. Smh

[Darkstar]

Im starting to notice a trend in who HBO likes to snub. Ill give them one more strike tho.

[SkillspayBills]

That was the oddest thing of the fight for me. It seemed like politics was the reason for that snub. Shame on HBO.

People like team mayweather can hate on Iole all they want but he almost ALWAYS brings up good points about boxing...this is an awesome observation most didn't think about

I concur.

Yeah i appreciate iole mentioning this.

[WladIsTheChamp]

Will not be the first time either, from their disrescpect of the Klitschkos after those two provided them with some of the highest rated fights ever to this, I think it's more about their affiliation with certain promotores than anything else.
