Admaek vs. Johnson practically a done deal. HBO turns it down.

    How can it be a done deal without a tv channel?

    No,hopefully it doesn't happen,it's a mismatch,Adamek is too young and tough and big for Glen.

    Main Events stated a few weeks ago that Adamek will fight this summer with or without the support of a major US network. I think they have a significant deal with Polish television and apparently Adamek does well at the gate.

    You don't need a TV channel to make a fight...but it would be nice if people can see this fight. Plus it doesn't mean the fight is dead...there is still Showtime and Versus.

    That is ****ing ******ed if it is true. That could be a fight of the year candidate. I hope Versus or Showtime pick it up. This could be a classic.

    What is the logic on that? You will show a couple of bantamweights hit each other a million times without making a dent. Willy "Can't Crack an Egg" Blain can make it on HBO too. But this fight can't? That makes no sense!

    weird moves by hbo. Im sure theres some kind of reasons behind it. I guess their all falling into the lap of showtime and this has the ingredients to be really good.
