HBO not showing Tarver/Hopkins replay?

maybe to allow more buildup for the big middleweight showdown. usually for a fight of this magnitude, they'll talk to the experts beforehand

even HBO, had that in their sched. replay of Hopkins/Tarver. that is some **** though, i didn't buy it b/c they were gonna show it a week later.
EXCLUSIVE DELAY BROADCAST:
JUNE 17, 9:30 PM ET/6:30 PM PT
HBO Sports presents the exclusive delay broadcast of the Antonio Tarver vs. Bernard Hopkins, immediately before Taylor vs. Wright.

HBO is running World Championship Boxing�s Jermain Taylor vs. Winky Wright live from the FedEx Forum in Memphis on Saturday, June 17 (9:30 p.m. ET/6:30 p.m. PT), all by itself. No airing of Hopkins� domination of Tarver will accompany the showdown between the world�s top middleweights.

No word on whether HBO will get around to showing the Hopkins feat to a wider audience down the line or not�

just read on the sweet science .com, that HBO pulled the plug on Hopkins/tarver replay. anyone got any info

maybe its for the best that they don't show the hopkins-tarver fight, people will be disappointed when they/we finally see the fight we heard so much about. I've seen the 4 rounds of the that fight and im i no hurry to see the whole 12 rounds.
