    Because people like to think that fights like Bradley vs Alexander are going to be good lol they don't like it when young POWER punching athletes go at it...they like the pitty pat match ups...

      To be fair the only kahn related threads are either about the ppv situation or him calling out mayweather, not much about the actual fight.
      Personally i think the berto/ortiz fight will much more interesting fight to watch.

        Berto's best wins over Collazo and Quintana are no worse than Khan's best outings vs. Maidana and Kotelnik.

          If Ortiz ever regains his heart he can blow out Berto. I think the move up to 147 will really help him.

            Because Victor Ortiz is a hand-selected journeyman.

              I mean if Ortiz actually shows up it should be a great fight.

              But he couldnt even show up against Peterson, so i highly doubt he will show up against Berto

              Still got my fingers crossed tho

                HBO's been advertising. If you got ONDemand they got ring life Berto and Khan as well as Berto, Khan, and Ortiz Greatest Hits.

                  Peterson is a very good jww, he's even gotten the best of Bradley at times, not to be underestimated.

                      Well the BoxingScene answer would be "Cause Berto's fighting another bum and will KO him in a **** fight!"

                      But the real answer would be when fights are on regular HBO they do not have rely heavy on marketing the fight because there is no money needed to be made back. They would actually just be losing money by marketing the fight. Thats why for must BAD fights like this the only marketing will be a ad in a magazine or something.

                      The exception to this though was the Alexander - Bradley fight. Due to the significance in that fight to the JWW division and the potential clash ahead against Khan they were trying to get as much exposure as possible with that fight to increase both guys popularity.
