it's not that they can't physically do it - it's the way all the tv networks and promotion works these days - that is what has changed boxing over theyears.
haye v klitschko would be the biggest heavyweight ppv globally, in the US, Europe, wherever, since tyson v lewis.
networks like sky would want more than 60 days to promote this fight effectively. please try and grasp this concept.
it has nothing to do with 'sugar ray robinson fought 20 times in six months' in the 50's, why can't klitschko fight twice in four months?' that argument is completely, totally redundant. if you don't understand that, you really don't understand how boxing works. it's about business.
