Is HBO making a mistake by not putting Bradley/Alexander on BAD (boxing after dark)?

    Kotelnik would beat Alexander (again) and Bradley on the same night.
    This reminds me.

    HBO got rid of the Klitschko's but now they're gonna overpay a couple of prospects, one of which just lost in his own hometown and try to sell it as a legit "championship" match?

    I swear a team of monkeys run's hbo.

      By rewarding them with a WCB slot, they're going to create more monsters like Mayweather and Berto and not have enough money to pay real fighters for real fights.


      Lets face it, 40' is way overrated and these guys are getting a bunch of credit for something they're SUPPOSED to be doing.

      Alexander's best win is a loss to Kotelnik and Bradley's best win is probably against Kendall Holt. I mean, that's pretty weak by standards from even ten years ago.


      This is classic Boxing After Dark matchup. Imo, the winner here can shed the label of prospect.
      U guys never stop amazing me!!Bradley Alexander are the 2 best fighters at 140,their actually fighting each other,This fight if any is ppv worthy,but we get it on hbo & ur making it seem like it's mediocre,wow!!Then U go & call Floyd's name & Berto,but conveniently forget Pacman is fighting Margarito on ppv.wow!!

HBO has a history (going back to Roy Jones) of overpaying despite no real competition, basically bidding against themselves. Showtime has only a fraction of the budget that HBO does and won't pay guys like Bradley or Alexander anywhere near that much.
          Yeah, maybe in the short term, but what about when its time to sign for harder fights?

          They're gonna price themselves out and fight bums instead.

          We've already seen this a million times before.

              Floyd and Berto have a history of taking big Hbo money to fight bums and wasting the boxing budget.

              Bruseles, Ndou, Mitchell, HErnandez, Cosme Rivera..

              I could go on.

              Pac/Margarito is a legit fight. Margarito did 500k with Cotto and sold out Staples Center 20k seats, and a 20k seat stadium in Mexico.

              Lets see Bradley or Alexander sell out staples center or even do a ppv before we put them on ppv.

                Alexander will knock Bradley out and send him back to fighting in the dessert.

                  If Alexander would've beaten Kotelnik more impressively I could see it. But to me, this fight has lost it's luster because Alexander got a big time gift in St Louis. So I pretty much agree with the TS. And to top it off, it's not even the most meaningful fight to be made in the division. Khan-Bradley is because Khan is ranked #2 by the Ring regardless of whether you agree with that or not. And Alexander avoided his mandatory and the fight won't even be a unification fight like it should've been if Alexander would've fought Kaizer Mabuza instead of Kotelnik.

                  I think it's a good fight, but I'm not hyped for it like some people are. Montiel-Donaire, Martinez-Williams, Mares-Perez 2, and even Lopez-Marquez (from an action standpoint) seem like better fights to me.

                      Why do you always go out of your way to be a prick?. Bradley isn't the second coming of god but he's better than Kotelnik could ever dream of being.
