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

[aldo5408]

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.

I remember Postol fought on the danny garcia nbc undercard

its not about HBO, its about TR. Postol is TR fighter and Tr has good relationship with HBO for decades.All TR fighters are on HBO.If Arum would let his world champ fight on Showtime this could damage their relationship with HBO for the future.And Arum doesnt want it.

This has nothing to do with Arum's relationship with HBO. Arum has taken his fighters to Showtime and cursed HBO on his way out before.

Just this year he called Peter Nelson, president of HBO sports, not good for boxing and said HBO will not determine their matchmaking.

Postol doesn't have an exclusive deal with HBO so there is really nothing stopping the fight from happening except Arum & HBO not allowing him to fight off network with threats. HBO is responsible for a lot of fights not happening but nobody ever criticizes them.

Broner would be a waste of time for Postol anyway

yup. postol would completely embarass broner.

[MrClutch85]

Broner would give Postol that work we won't get a chance see it

[VG_Addict]

Postol would make Broner look like a bum.

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.

Damn, it appears that Postol is just an HBO fighter.

Shame, he could be relevant, if he was allowed to play with the big boys.

Fcuk them !

And not only fcuk them, fcuk the fighters as well.

If they want to be a big fish in a small pond, good for them.

I always prefer real fighters to manufactured fighters.

You had me until you called Broner a threat to Postol.

The con that they're running these days is whenever you want to duck a particular fighter just use the " network conflict bs clause".

It absolutely is.

And it is being wholeheartedly endorsed by the fanboys.

That dont matter to me, because I am going to hold the fighters personally responsible.

Example..... Kovalev is ducking Stevenson.

And I will stick with that evaluation until the network roadblock bullshht has been removed by Team Kovalev.

Fighters who are contracted exclusively, become second rate by default.
