Klitschko vs Pulev On Eurosport. No US Coverage!

That is during the week....not on a weekend.

 

Don't know and I don't know why you of all people care about it.. Shouldn't you be busy giving Waldo credit as you repeatedly stated that he will never fight Pulev because he is afraid of him?

 

In your "Wlad is ducking Pulev" threads, didn't you claim Pulev is a 'huge draw'!? Didn't you claim how well known Pulev was? How all fans and TV stations are salivating about this amazing contender?

You make yourself look like a complete idiot.

 

I wish Eurosport was free here. Got a decent bit of boxing on it.

It's a sky channel.

I'll watch on RTL by positioning my sat.

 

Pulev already has rock star popularity in Bulgaria.

If he manages to beat Klitschko, he would be as big in Bulgaria as Pacquiao is in the Philippines.

 

Well now they will be showing an ATG heavyweight in with a top 3 ranked fighter.

The only way is up.

 

I'm not surprised there is no US coverage. Recent Wlad performances on US networks would have only turned any potential fans off of him.

Fact is the division is weak and there is little interest in the division because of this. The days of the heavyweights being the marquee fighters in boxing is over, it's just another division now.

Pulev maybe one of Wlad's best opponents in recent years but he isn't a draw and even Wlad isn't a big draw outside of the German market. The purse bid for this fight was just over $7.25 million which may seem a lot but historically that's peanuts for a heavyweight fight. Lewis made more when he fought Tucker over 20 years ago. Spinks made almost double the combined purse over 25 years ago against Tyson.

Wlad simply lacks the style and the competition to make this fight interesting beyond his own hardcore fan base.

 

Because Heavyweight boxing is dead.

 

:nod

 

And yet he's third best paid fighter in the world for 5 consecutive years.
