Pirog-Geale; Trout-Dzinziruk HBO Doubleheader In Works

[Rocky Rode]

They must be trying to build a fan base for these guys in the states so they can get a title challenger for Martinez. I was gonna say HBO is trying to step their event game up after NBC's last event this weekend but these guys are kinda unknown to the general American public.

LOL, yeah Texas is probably a bad idea. What about New Mexico or wherever Trout is from? He's the only American on this card...

I like the fights and HBO will probably get it for cheap, so I doubt they're going to expect big ratings.

[KnockUTheFukOut]

forgive some of these IDIOTS, if it doesn't include Pacquiao or Mayweather many of them don't even care about boxing

Boxing is a WORLD WIDE SPORT, so trying to appeal to fans WORLD WIDE is great for the sport! That is the huge advantage Boxing has over the UFC... INTERNATIONAL APPEAL!

It should take place somewhere that has a big Russian and Ukrainian population. Those guys are more likely to bring in more tickets than Trout fans.

How famous are these guys in Ukraine/Russia? If they have a solid fanbase then yeah, that does make more sense.

Way to put words in my mouth. When did I say anything like that? I'm glad they're making Pirog vs Geale if it's true as I stated various times. I really want to see it. But don't be surprised the fight doesn't get made for the reasons I stated. It is a ****** move by HBO. I'm not deluding myself.

I'm guessing this will be on HBO World Championship Boxing which is more expensive than BAD, so I don't think this will be cheap. Somehow Garry Shaw always manages to get big dollars out of HBO.

I didn't it words into you're mouth

You said hershman should get fired for even attempting to make this, when in fact He should get praised

You are actually more concerned about HBOs rating then actually seeing great fights like you have stock in HBo or something

New York?

Anyway why are you so concerned about the business sense of this card then the actual fights that are taking place? I don't get it

I'm talking as if I own stock in HBO because that's exactly the perspective HBO uses to make fights. I'm just being skeptical that the fight will happen. This exact same card has been turned down by both HBO and Showtime in the past.

HBO owes Dzinzurnik a date contractually.

Ya know, I really think Hershman's like fcuk it, I'm gonna make a card with some Europeans and try and groom one of them into a Martinez or Chavez opponent and one of them into a Canelo opponent.

Anywhere in the West is a bad idea. Pirog-Geale/Trout-Dzinziruk wouldn't sell any tickets in TX, NM, CO, AZ, NV, or CA. They need to do it where there's a really large Eastern European population. Somewhere on the East Coast, or even Chicago would be better in my opinion.

That's the way I'm seeing it.
