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.

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

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.

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.
