Comments Thread For: HBO, K2 Unable To Work Out Deal For Golovkin-Adama

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The good news for HBO – and boxing fans – is that Gennady Golovkin will remain a fixture on the network as the 2014 boxing season takes shape.

The bad news is, the on-air relationship will not resume until the spring.

HBO and K2 Promotions, Golovkin’s promoter have exhausted all efforts in attempting to secure air time for the unbeaten middleweight’s next ring appearance, a February 1 title defense in Monte Carlo versus Osumana Adama.

glad HBO didn't pick this fight up.

it's an appearance fight for Golovkin. The less appearance fights they televise the better IMO

[Doriaan]

So... It's not televised ?

[I Love Jesus!]

cant they get a better opponent?

I'm the other way; more exposure means more revenue in the long run. Right now in boxing I'd pick quantity over quality in terms of fights.

Boxing is a business.

I wish Epix would get back into boxing.

Even though he doesn't have a good opponent that day its better than watching two more notable fighters pitty patting one another scared to engage.......like a fight recently that deserves no mention. GGG/Adama promises a onesided thrashing for your entertainment.
