    He'd be on HBO if he faced Wlad, Vitali, or Adamek (if not HBO then Showtime). That's why I voted for that option instead of the last. I think he could be exciting or top 50 PFP if he actually fought someone decent at HW.

      Well it's because heavyweight boxing has dramatically declined in the last 5 years. Americans just aren't interested in this division any longer and that's why no heavyweights are shown on the network. Neither Haye or the Klitchkos will be shown on the network unless the matchup is right. If Haye was fight Adamek I think HBO would be interested in the fight.

        Its because Ross Greenberg is evil and he hates great white champions like David Haye.

          WTF, first people think HBO is racist against white Europeans and now this??? How about HBO is a business and if you aren't bringing in good numbers of interest and the fight isn't right, you aren't going to be show on the network. HBO isn't interested in the Klitschkos or Haye unless they are fighting each other or Adamek. Any other matchup in the division simply ain't worth their time.

            HBO wants to televise his proposed fight against Adamek.

            HBO has televised at least 16 of Wladimir Klitschkos fights.

              I thought Greenburg hated eastern europeans?

                Believe it when I see it secondly why would Haye have been on HBO before now it would be like saying why has Wlad never been on Sky Box Office while Haye has on numerous occasions.

                  No, Haye's skin is the right color for the HBO bosses.

                  But he's just not that good of a fighter.

                    Wlad isn't a Brit.

                    Wlad has had ALL his fights from 1996 to now televised in the Ukraine and at least 40 of them televised on German TV.

                    Neither Haye nor Wlad are Americans. Why has Wlad had 16 fights shown on HBO while Haye has had none?
