Whats up with HBO?

[ИATAS]

Schaefer said he and Michel were still working out television plans.

"It could be live on Showtime. We're having discussions," Schaefer said. "Or it could be pay-per-view."

Schaefer said he hoped to make a deal with Showtime. He called it the "perfect platform" for the fight because the winner, particularly if it's Pascal, would be a logical opponent to face the winner of the network's Super Six World Boxing Classic super middleweight tournament, which is taking place in the weight class just below light heavyweight. Although HBO televised Pascal-Dawson, it is not interested in Pascal-Hopkins, Schaefer said.

Hopkins only chance of winning is to make the fight unwatchable. Id rather watch Arreola hit the buffet.

I'd rather watch Judah than Hopkins anyday.

Did you really call the Klitschko's boring after requesting Hopkins?

kudos to hbo for refusing to allow hopkins bush league, jailhouse garbage tactics to pullute their airwaves....let nasa000, street bully and secondsout slobber on his nutsack on showtime....pascal fighting this guy only brings his credibility down after the good showing against a top lightheavy like dawson

[ИATAS]

oh **** a djtmal posting, amazing! And it's a bhop diss imagine that!

djtmal, as I exposed a long time ago, you don't like bernard because he beat up your older brother, we understand this. I'm here to tell you to let it go. It will be easier to live life without so much hate!

[The Big Dunn]

They are not going to televise the Hopkins Pascal fight but they are going to give Zab flippin Judan a tv date to fight a bum?

Something isnt right here. How can they say they want to give us the boxing fans the best the sport has to offer then pull this off?

I think Pascal Hopkins is a very interesting match up.
Am I the only one that thinks this?

Please correct me if I am wrong

HBO needs to show the fight that is in their best long term interest.

nasa000 hopkins biggest fanboy...only thing thats exposed around here is your nuthuggery...lol...

for the record...at this point, hopkins dissses himself every time he steps in a ring these days...even the cats on here who have some respect for him say this fight is a waste of time because of hopkins clutch and grab, boring, dirty tactic style that just turns fans away....

at this point hbo is more willing to televise a zab judah fight...THAT should tell you right there that he should do us all a favor and get the f**k out...lol

How many ko's does Hop have since 2004?

And how many do the Klits?

At least the Klits are finishers.


Hops wins but wins very ugly.

I prefer the Klits.

Lol, I like Bhop but god damn that last fight with Jones was theeee WORST. Someone could make a random person literally hate boxing by throwing that fight on the tv and introduce them into boxing.

Agreed... fight was horriffic.

Worse than Jones - Tarver III and that's unbelievable.
