Why has David Haye never been on HBO?

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

By the time Wladimir Klitschko was David Haye's age, he'd already had many fights on HBO: Bostice, Barrett, Jefferson, Shufford, Mercer, McCline, etc.

If Haye is such an "exciting" heavyweight, why has he never been on HBO?

Were his HW fights with Valuev and Audley exciting? Why did the Manchester crowd start booing during the second round of the Audley?

I do recall HBO was going to televise his fight with Wlad in June 2009, and HBO had agreed to televise his proposed fight with Vitali in September 2009. But Haye didn't have the courage to go through with either of those fights.

Who the hell said Haye was exciting? I'll tell you what, its ten times better to have never been on HBO than to be dumped by HBO, like Wlad was. Another epic fail by the ALT king of them all. lol

Because he's a mediocre HW and a known ducker.

Same is being said about Wlad because its the truth. Deal with that, bittch.

Mostly because it does not make sense from business standpoint.
Put back your indeginious feelings towards haye or wlad for a second, and take a closer look at HBO.
HBO as a whole hates to show fighters who are not fighting in the US, quality of the fighters not withstanding, after all they are showing berto and judah, and at this point David Haye is better then either midget.
I got more then one theory as to why are they not showing Haye or Wladimir(in the last 2 years) or many other fighters originating that side of the pond, and none of them really have anything to do with "whats fair for the sport". Its all about money for HBO and their contractual obligations to Golden Boy(real slave contract, if I ever seen one.)

Yes.

All he had to do was to go though with the fight with Wlad in June 2009 which was slated for HBO.

And HBO had agreed to televise the fight with Vitali that he *****ed out of a couple of months later.

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

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

lol, if he is not that good of a fighter, why cant you go a day without talking about him? matt hatton isnt that good either..............

I think a better question to ask is why have the klits been dropped by HBO?

They claim the fights are too one-sided, and Greenburg prefers to showcase black and Hispanic fighters anyway.

Still the Klitschkos have been on 26 times.

And there are plans to televise Wladimir-Adamek.
