    Because unlike RJJ, they arent well known

    TS sounds like he just wants HBO to waste money

        Outside of us hardcore fans no one knows Bradley and Alexander, heck I started talking about him to a trainer at the gym about Bradley's vegan diet and he was like, who the f#%k is Bradley?

        HBO needs to do a better job of promoting guys like Berto, Bradley, and Alexander. They focus too much on potential "international flavors" like Khan and Canelo.

                I believe at some point HBO announced they'd be doing a Countdown episode for Alexander/Bradley, but I guess it never materialized?

                Weird. This is the exact kind of fight that could use a Countdown

                    I agree, it would bring interest into the fight.

                            Budgets!!! HBO seem to be careful in the way they market young american fighters these days, Because when those fighters get little exposure they demand so much money etc.. If Alexander and Bradley had the same exposure like Khan did it would have cost HBO 3 times the money to get them two into the ring.

                                thats why you market them so they become better known

                                    Both are pretty boring and not that marketable

                                    No following.

                                    Its the promotions job to make the fighters better known, not HBO's

                                        I don't think they would be marketable enough. You need a superstar to sell a 24/7.
