    What is with HBO's obsession with showing boxer's wives/girlfriend....

    what is with HBO's obesession with showing boxer's wives/girlfriend. they showed kovalev's wife tonight (she's pretty hot). i dont know if this was the first time or not. i remember in the past they showed...

    shantal jackson wearing some super skanky outfit.
    cotto's wife multiple times.
    pac's wife multiple times
    bradley's wife
    carl froch's wife
    wlad/vitali klitschko's girlfriend/wife
    donaire's wife
    margarito's wife
    mosley's ex-wife

    they even show boxer's wives at the worst possible moment like when...
    hatton's wife crying while hatton just got KTFO by pac
    pac's wife crying while pac just got KTFO by marquez..

    im sure there are others that i missed...

    it seems like HBO only show boxer's wives on television if they look hot...(except bradley's wife)

      it adds drama I guess

      especially when a dude gets wrecked, they love showing the loved ones losing their **** in the crowd

          They have to show Kovalev's wife, otherwise people will just think that he's some sort of Uni-Sol cryo-status machine that comes out for fighting and training then goes back to be frozen

              It promotes their fighters by letting the audience get to know a little more about their lives, adds stakes to their fights by showing us that they have loved ones who are very invested in the fight, and gives HBO something to talk about in between rounds.

                  To show that they are genuine, humanly figures with families and all that.

                  Plus most boxers have good looking wives...

                      They never show GGG's wife. They always show his groupie Ronda Rousey.

                                      Why the hell are you complaining about showing families... It's part of the drama, and they are usually hot...

                                      Are you one of the posters that keeps complaining about ring card girls being shown
