Comments Thread For: Postol Implies Broner Unlikely Due To Network Conflict

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Two junior welterweight world champions were crowned on Saturday night.

In an HBO televised main event, Viktor "Iceman" Postol (28-0, 12 KOs) captured the vacant WBC junior welterweight crown by knocking out heavily favored Lucas Matthysse (37-4, 34 KOs) in the tenth round at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.

It's good when the fighters are realistic.

Did Postol sign a deal with HBO or something his fight before the Lucas fight was on NBC so I don't see why there would be a network conflict.

I don't think Viktor is with TR. They must have an option on his next fight I'm assuming. Like TR did with Provo.

That fight was never going to happen.

But it should be interesting to see what happens in the next coming months because Imam is Postol's mandatory and that likely means the fight would go to a purse bid.

Broner would be a waste of time for Postol anyway

I thought Postol was signed to a Russian promoter?

I thought Postol was signed to a Russian promoter?

When they announced him and Lucas they said the fight was being promoted by tr and gb. We know Lucas is with GBP so tr must now be postol's promoter. I'm assuming this based on how they announced the fight and his statements in this article.
On another note: people criticize haymon and pbc and say haymon is the one preventing fights etc ..but to me it looks like it's hbo tr and GBP. Haymon is working with just about every network that matters And every promoter but hbo won't work with him and tr and GBP are suing him. Also it looks like every top tr and GBP fighter is exclusive to hbo with no wiggle room or option. But Haymon is the problem? I think Haymon would put his fighters on hbo to make a big fight if hbo would allow it . but hey what do I know I'm just your avg Joe dedicated fan of the sport and that's big business.

NAH, I dont want to watch Postol again. Guy runs like a little girl, straight up coward.

[Hougigo]

Don't have a HBO exclusive contract, at least that I know of, and purse bids about to affect the Imam fight.

Arum always talking up that dirt of taking his peeps to Showtime this year... and look at that.
