    They think Wlad was drugged. Wlad acted like a little ***** and didn't give Brewster any credit at all. Wlad punched himself out and then Brewster lit his ass up. I wish Wlad would lose again so we can hear what the excuse will be.

    At this point it's almost comparable to Pac getting great viewership in the Philippines. It's not the standard for boxing fans, and it's not elitist to say this because the K brothers are practically adopted Germans.

    My brother has it (He also has Dish), and they seem to have some good movies. I actually thought it was an online only channel until I saw he had it.

    Have a good cry mate. Let it all out. It's amazing that you can't even read a post where someone is talking about Klitschko's US TV deal without getting all emotional and going off on a rant about David Haye or Britain.

    Perhaps I care about what TV station fights are on in the states because I'm a boxing fan and I care about the popularity of the sport. I'd made a bunch of posts recently about boxing viewing figures around the world compared to the potential audience who could tune in - but never looked into Epix, so this thread prompted me to.

    Not sure why you have responded about a load of irrelevant stuff.

    Wlad said nothing.

    He moves on, worked with Emanuel Steward, improves as a fighter and won the rematch.

    That is a real Champ. Just like Lewis. Rematchd McCall and won. Change the trainer and worked with - the best trainer ever - Emanuel Steward.

    Yes, I'd say it's on par with HBO and Showtime as far as the movies go.
    Of course they don't have the original programming that HBO and Showtime have . . .
    but with a newer network that's to be expected.

    I honestly can't believe so many people here haven't heard of EPIX. I've had it for a few years now,
    and they have featured several heavyweight (and other weight class) fights over the years.

    He is based in Europe. His target market and where he makes his money is not the States. Just like Haye (who fought on Epix against Chisora) we don't see his fights either. And we won't be seeing Haye unless he fights on Epix because HBO banned him from the network.

    I can't even get Epix from my Cable provider and since I have HBO and Showtime not sure I would even purchase it if i could. They show decent cards from time to time but not sure it is worth it really.

    How many European fighters have been on HBO or American TV as much as the Klitschko's have? The answer is nobody. :rofl:patsch

    Pianeta will give Wlad a lot harder fight than 99% on here think.

    As for the TV rights, still expect this to be shown on BoxNation in the UK.

    Exactly, just like Lewis. Wlad rematched Brewster when he was coming off nearly 1.5 yr layoff and was half blind. Lewis pulled a unstable McCall out of a crackhouse for a rematch and couldn't KO him despite McCall having a nervous breakdown in the ring.

    What accomplishments....

    I have to say it again and again... Pianeta is a good heavyweight! And can make it hard for Wladimir! But at the end he cant win... wich is not a shame because no heavyweight today could beat Wladimir right now!
