Why is Showtime not showing Chambers-Rossy?

[The Hammer]

Eddie Chambers is a very good top 5 heavyweight, but the US media has ignored him for some reason.

Tomorrow night, they'll show Cornelius White KO a bum named Donovan George, and Rico Ramos fight a journeyman named Alejandro Valdez.

But for some ****** reason Chambers-Rossy won't be on. There was no American TV for Chambers-Dimitrenko (an excellent performance) and not even for Chambers-Klitschko, which was for the linear, Ring, WBO, IBO and IBF heavyweight titles.

Some time ago they had Rossy-Drummond on ESPN. Why is Rossy-Chambers not good enough to show on American TV?

I thought they were showing? My DVR says it as one of three televised fights...

Alejandro Valdez is a decent fighter, been in with some good fighters. Will be a good step up fight for Ramos.

According to several articles that it's an "off TV" fight.

from fight news:

This Friday, #4 IBF ranked heavyweight contender “Fast” Eddie Chambers (35-2, 18 KOs) will take on the #11 heavyweight contender Derric Rossy (25-2, 14 KO’s) in an off-TV IBF title elimination bout on the undercard of the SHOWTIME ShoBox: The New Generation broadcast taking place at the world-famous Bally’s Atlantic City.

Maybe if there's an early KO in one of the others they'll fill in the time woith it.

Yeah, I just checked Showtime's website and they don't have the fight listed as televised. I don't get why the schedule on my TV would say it though. Regardless this is very disappointing, IMO. I was looking forward to that fight.

I've never seen SHOBOX do swing bouts like they do on Friday Night Fights or Top Rank Live so it won't be on TV. Why isn't it on? Not sure honestly. I guess it doesn't follow the SHOBOX model of "The New Generation" but at the same time neither did Tarver vs Aguleira.

Eddie Chambers is still young. His best days are still ahead, and I think he'll win a world title after the K Bros retire.

I like him too and I know he's not old. It's a question for Showtime programmers. Ken Hershman is a smart dude and I was hoping to see it. I like Eddie.
