    Tarver works for Showtime and both the K-bros want so much money for their fights that the networks won't pick them up.

      No, that's not the reason.

      The cost of Wlad-Peter was only $250,000, but both HBO's Greenburg and Showtime's Hershman refused.

      Yet HBO is willing to pay $1,400,000 for Andre Berto's next fight even though it's not the main event!

        No, that is not it at all. If that is the case then how is ESPN able to pick their fights up? Showtime has a bigger budget than ESPN and HBO is not even a question.

        The right answer is Tarver works for Showtime. Then add that it has a prospect on the undercard that his nickname is "showtime" that makes it really a no brainer.

              Too bad they didn't use Tarver's current photo in that ad.
