Why has David Haye never been on HBO?

[Kevin Malone]

Why has Wlad had 16 fights shown on HBO while Haye has had none?

Greenburg loves Eastern Europeans, it also explains why he was pushing one of them to get a chance at Sergio Martinez.

I thought Greenburg hated eastern europeans?

Back in the earlier part of Wlad's career, Greenburg was fairly new in his role with HBO and wasn't as nasty as he is today.

Probably all of the above. Haye talks about maximising the profits for the Wlad fight but he wont even fight anyone good enough to get on HBO and build an American following.

He's so nasty now he won't even consider putting Wlad-Adamek on HBO.

Oh wait.

[Schmerzen]

because he sucks, and no1 wants to see him.
who did he fight anyway since he moved up?
he doesnt even deserve a fight with wladimir.

If I wanted to showcase Sergiy Dzinziruk, I'd put him in a unification fight with Cornelius Bundrage, or have him fight Yuri Foreman, Alfredo Angulo, or Vanes Martirsyan.

If I wanted Sergiy Dzinziruk to LOSE, I force him to move up a weight division to slow him down a bit, and have him fight the ONE opponent at 154-160 he has little of beating: slick southpaw Sergio Martinez.

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.

It was a joke.

This is just insanely absurd. Yuri Foreman was only shown on HBO because he was matched up against a superstar in Miguel Cotto. K9 will never be shown on HBO, and Angulo is out of the question at the moment. HBO is a world class station and expects the very best of their matchups. It may of not always been like that but it is now. Sergio Martinez is the only good candidate for Dzinziruk to fight in those divisions. Has nothing to do with where he's from.

Oh wait.

If Greenburg was fair, he would have had Adamek, Bute, Pirog, and Dzinziruk on late last year, instead of Zab Judah and some other mediocre fighters. And he would have televised Wlad-Peter.

But if he refused to televise Wlad-Adamek, then his feelings toward East Europen boxers would be TOO OBVIOUS and boxing writers would call him out on it.

This is the truth.
