Nobody cares about the Kovalev fight TOMORROW because HBO does not push his fights!

    HBO drops the ball again and again with Kovalev.
    Even the front page of this forum only gave Kovalev a small shout out about the weigh-ins today. Its all about Canelo, Golovkin, Brook, and Wilder. No YTBC are checking for this fight (not even Thunderdome, Precise Presenter), NO ONE!!

    It's very annoying, isn't it? HBO should be building the Kovalev - Ward matchup for the end of the year by promoting both Kovalev and Ward whenever they can. Otherwise the PPV numbers will be terrible.

    Well Kovalev should join Al Haymon, maybe then he will get the publicity he deserves

    Kovalev won't allow HBO to match him soft like they do GGG & build up a fake KO streak.

    It's on a Monday night and he's fighting a no-name. What could they do?

    Someone had to, just had to, bring GGG up when the OP was rightly pointing out the ultra-abundance of GGG threads. :huh

    This.
    Chilemba is a stay busy fight. Who the hell is watching boxing on a Monday except hardcores?
    And as far a building up Kovalev/Ward, I dare say that is more of Ward lacking fanfare than HBO needing to better promote Kovalev.

    Never. I checked his videos just to see since he hates PBC, Haymon. Not a Kovalev fight video at all, just Povetkin and Canelo hate.

    Is HBO showing this fight live? I don't think they are.

    Politics. The media are in control of the government. They will never allow that a Russian becomes a tough boxing hero in the US. Never, ever and that's why we don't see much about him.

    Do you think the CIA is trying to take Kov out to help them keep winning the cold war?
