Comments Thread For: HBO Not Interested in Vitali-Haye, Not High on Heavies

[Kagami Taiga]

That's the sad thing about this. They don't mind to showcase two bums fighting each other as long as they are americans.
I want to see the best fighters in the ring, regardless where they come from. I'm fed up with this 'I'm in the center of the universe' thing that some americans believe...

its an american network. what do u expect?? seriously??? i would like to see more japanese fighters but it aint gonna happen. u know why? because americans dont care. but seriously, watching the klitchskos beat euro class opposition is a waste of money for hbo, they got that part rite.

[Mr. Philadel]

the cartoon network and the weather channel are not interested in David haye fights.

I agree on most everything youre implying but both Klits and David "pinky toe" Haye have big enough names drive HBO ratings up the roof. Call me crazy, but HBO seems to be holding a grudge, maybe a financial condition set by the bros didn't rub them the right way?

none of them rate that well over here. the klitchskos have names, but their opponents dont. and haye isnt that big in america at all.

their loss though isnt it,because you just know that showtime will happily air and ppv a haye vs vitali fight.

Haye needs to come back soon and get rep back by fighting likes of:
arreola,
povetkin
and adamek,
even chambers or thompson,

beat all of those in style and in a fashion that nails him as no 3 heavyweight in the world.

He needs to be busier with a smarter defense as well if he thinks he is going to face and defeat ageing vitali or prime wlad.His balance needs to improve a lot too.

hey ide be happy for him to stay around and whomp on heavyweights who arent k bros and still be entertaining without the need to fight the bros and get thier titles.

whats better,having world titles but no body likes watching you?

or having no belts but being a fan favourite who everyone loves to watch and follow?

i know i respect and prefer likes of corales,gatti and ward more than wladimir,vilta and dawson!

[Evil Abed]

Epix should pick it up.

[j.one]

HBO has the right to pick what they want and don't want...i'd like to see the fight but wouldn't pay for it. Maybe Showtime will pick it up, doubt ESPN would coin up for this fight either.

Klitschko's names clearly aren't big enough then. If their name were, they'd be able to carry their opponents much like some of Lewis' bouts.

"Hopefully we’ll get, in the next year or two, some prospects that we think we can really count on to really energize the U.S. component of that market"

Yeah, yeah, dream on. Just wait for K-bros retirement, that's when American "prospects" will crawl out of the burrows in which they hide now. Than you get your "excitement" and "golden age" again. Tiresome hypocrisy ******s

[GodInFleshSuit]

They definitely paid for the wrong fight. Vitali/Haye will be a scrap. Don't blame them though after that last Klit/Haye dud. Vitali will press the action & exchanges are guaranteed. Somebody is getting dropped. Haye imo but this is boxing so you never know what to expect. I'll be tuned it regardless!
