has there EVER been a time where the heavyweight champ was not shown in the US?

Wasn't Klitscko vs. Haye on HBO last year?


I think a part of it has to do with who the opponent is to.

EPIX carries these bouts. There was a brief time between HBO's and EPIX's coverage where a couple bouts weren't covered but they are all generally televised.

lol at people who bash America but they desperately want their favorite fighter to be accepted and talked about in America hahaha that don't make any sense

Wlad has cleaned out the entire divison!!!!! No one is left!

That's part of the problem. A few years back HBO rejected Klitscko vs. Povetkin because they thought no ne in the U.S. knew who Povetkin was. They wanted him to face Haye or Adamek.

****, that fight wont even be either. This is bull****, Wlad use to be on HBO all the time. Wlad has 50 knockouts!

But it's the way he got those knockouts in recent years. His legit one punch knockout power is smothered by the way he sets the knockout up.

They're basically doing themselves harm but whatever. So long as they have some television, I'm not bothered.

It would be nice to see them on HBO though.
