Why did HBO show Stiverne Austin instead of K9 Powell?

[ny123]

Why the *** did HBO showcase that no talent having hw Stiverne and not show K9 and Powell?

Also lol at Jones with his bias for Alexander and his Devon was headed for superstardom comment.

Especially because k9 is in the running to face alvarez. They definitely should have showm that fight over the homeless guy vs ancient guy.

Not sure if don king made them show it, but its a puzzling decision no doubt as no one knows who the homeless guy was and powell's been on tv many times and k9 is a titleholder.

HBO doesn't like the guys. That's why. Especially Powell.

That Austin fight was just..............horrid.

Why is that? Even if that is the case it makes more sense business wise to show the K9 Powell fight considering the possibility that guys like Alvarez and Cotto could be future opponents.

because it was a heavyweight fight, and it was for the...WBC Silver title

heavyweights usually get priority, regardless of how crap they are.

If both Klitshckos beat their opponents, Haye and Adamek respectively, then why would have cleaned out the division. HBO was showing a fresh face in Stiverne giving his record I believe they thought he was going to run through Austin, but he looked like complete shit and no one ever wants to see him again. HBO took a gamble, unfortunately it didn't pay out this tim.e

don king was the promoter & he always shows a heavyweight fight.his real passion is heavyweights & since austin & stiverne are both his guys & the winner gets the mandatory spot in the WBC...stiverne is top 10 in WBC because of his 2 regional belts & austin is still top 10 in WBC regardless of the solis DQ...don king is the best promoter IMO...
