Why has David Haye never been on HBO?

[Check]

HBO had Zab Judah on recently. Exactly how is Judah better than Pirog, Adamek, Dzinziruk, and Bute?

He isn't better than any of those guys but part of boxing is the business side of things. Obviously, HBO is going to get higher ratings from a Zab Judah fight than any of those four against average competition. Trust me if Pirog and Bute were to get in the ring together HBO would be drooling over it just like they jumped on the Wlad/Adamek fight. It's all about business and numbers with HBO.

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.

How is it "insanely absurd"?

Cornelius Bundrage isn't great, but he's at least a world titleholder and definitely better than many of the "opponents" HBO has shown in the past couple of years, like Harry Joe Yorgey, Miguel Angel Rodriguez, and Cosme Rivera.

This is the worst poll ever. So bias. Tunney you're ridiculous.

How about:
- Haye's a British fighter who only became high-profile in the last 3 years after becoming undisputed Cruiserweight champ.
- He was making plenty of money with Sky and through Hayemaker promotions so didn't need HBO's money or publicity.
- Maybe he doesn't like HBO.
- Maybe HBO don't like him.
- He has his plan to retire in October 2011, so maybe he didn't want to get tied into a contract with HBO.
- Maybe Tunney should try talking **** to Haye's face.

[Chunk..]

Haye's greed got the better of him. He got 50/50 and still got shirty about the deal.

He didn't even fucking deserve 50/50 in the first place.

The Americans can see through him and his loud mouth.

[Born2Live]

Well he's never had a big fight in America, a huge mass of british fans will only stay up until 5 to watch Ricky Hatton, Khan, Haye etc won't get a huge viewers from the U.K, which will cost Sky PPV & Haye money, plus Haye probably makes plenty of money from fighting on Sky PPV 9PM in the U.K on Saturdays.

And those are some of the worst reasons ever.
