Why dont HBO do a 24/7 for Bradley vs Alexander?

[Russian Crushin]

not a thing..but he was clearly over the hill at that time..so why not market 2 young champions??

Because unlike RJJ, they arent well known

TS sounds like he just wants HBO to waste money

Outside of us hardcore fans no one knows Bradley and Alexander, heck I started talking about him to a trainer at the gym about Bradley's vegan diet and he was like, who the f#%k is Bradley?

HBO needs to do a better job of promoting guys like Berto, Bradley, and Alexander. They focus too much on potential "international flavors" like Khan and Canelo.

they should do a countdown. u know the half hr specials b4 big fights that are not 24/7 worthy.

I believe at some point HBO announced they'd be doing a Countdown episode for Alexander/Bradley, but I guess it never materialized?

Weird. This is the exact kind of fight that could use a Countdown

I agree, it would bring interest into the fight.

Budgets!!! HBO seem to be careful in the way they market young american fighters these days, Because when those fighters get little exposure they demand so much money etc.. If Alexander and Bradley had the same exposure like Khan did it would have cost HBO 3 times the money to get them two into the ring.

thats why you market them so they become better known

Both are pretty boring and not that marketable

No following.

Its the promotions job to make the fighters better known, not HBO's

[Drunk Punch]

I don't think they would be marketable enough. You need a superstar to sell a 24/7.
