Comments Thread For: Joshua vs. Klitschko - U.S. Television Situation Still Up in The Air

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

So just who will televise the heavyweight title bout between Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko on April 29th from Wembley Stadium in London, England? While Klitschko has had a long association with HBO, Joshua last year entered into an exclusive deal with rival network Showtime (which has broadcast his last few fights).

HBO is where this belongs, Showtime just doesn't have the ability to build up big fights. They never have.

OH well.. they have time to decide as both the networks won't invest on making any previews or 24/7 I recon.. Sky will anyways do gloves are off and behind the ropes for the those one..

This will drag out until the last minute.

No true Showtime has had the better fights they had Davis vs Pedraza Garcia vs Zlacticin Frampton vs Santa Cruz Charlo vs Williams plus Joshua Spence Jr Thurman has been looking real good HBO is losing it's touch too many mismatches and their cash cow Pacquiao can't even keep HBO behind him for any type of PPV fight now if he would of took on Crawford Brook or Danny Garcia it would of made more sense for him and that would of gave HBO a reason to back Pacquiao and Arum but he wants unranked bums or guys who Top Rank knows he can beat

Who cares if the Americans have the fight.....we have it and the fight will do brilliant even without them jumping on the bandwagon ....if HIBO and showtime can't sort out there greedy bickering about who airs the fight that's there problem

hbo are shot - showtime is the future

[johnnycontrolet]

This fight is huge therefore neither Showtime nor HBO are willing to give in. It is all about who is boss in town.

[Sincingship]

I'm sure Joshua's people would rather it be on CBS on showtime, build that US exposure. Doesn't really help Wlad though that.

All the Americans on this website care, I would imagine.

Given the country's population of 325 million I'm sure the fight's promoters care too.
