Dan Rafael: "American TV networks ALL rejected to show the Klitschko fight"

[SuckaPunch]

"It was bad enough that no American television network wanted the fight. Not HBO. Not Showtime. Not ESPN. Not Versus. All were contacted by Klitschko's people. Either those outlets didn't like the fight or it didn't fit into the schedule or the money wasn't in the budget. Whatever the reason, this is the reality: I guess the heavyweight championship means nothing anymore in the United States, even when there is a qualified American (albeit a big underdog) challenging for the title."

You know the Heavyweight Divison sucks ass when the Champ cant get his fight on TV. What a joke.

Worst thing about it is that Chambers is probably the best of the string of lame Yank HWs that have challenged the brothers

[wazaa.]

I like Wlad, he is rightfully the no.1 heavyweight in the world but Chambers has no chance of winnin this fight at all. Not even a punchers chance.

The sad thing Dirk is that its gonna take a fight against Toney to get the us networks on board and what the hell has Toney done to deserve a shot

America needs a 6 foot 6+ strong, power punching, toned up heavyweight with a great chin and exciting styly, but also a mouth that scares people.

[Pirao]

HBO shows Arreola-Adamek but not a championship fight, ****ing bull****.

[October]

Well, one of those is an interesting fight.

Toney ain't getting a title shot. I saw him yesterday at the gym and he's just not in shape to be fighting for a title nor has he won any fights to get a title shot.
