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

    Thank you!

    HBO is falling behind Showtime. They got their ass kicked this weekend with that weak ass card from Puerto Rico, while Showtime had Froch-Taylor.

    You might be right but I think it would be a good scrap.

    Lopez vs Penalosa type of match-ups are good scraps but I'd like something which ain't one-sided.

    Neither TV station beside HBO won't give much money, so it may be problemous. Anyway I hope they will sign down some fight for Adamek, cuz it's getting annoying. Every good proposal finishes exectly the same and equals nothing and nothing. Well, I'm sick and tired of waiting for another fight of Goral, so please, doesn't matter who will face Adamek. Bring the fight on and show us another big show. Adamek guarantees the show whoever is his opponent.

    Adamek TKOs Johnson in 8th.

    If it doesn't have the GBP stamp on it then HBO don't want it.

    I'm a huge Road Warrior fan, but I can't see Adamek losing this one.

    You people have not clue as to how boxing works, and how the networks pick fights. They only have a limited number of dates to put on shows, HBO has a ton of fighters to get dates for. Fights that come out of nowhere like this one did is hard for HBO to do, now Showtime dont have as many fighter to get dates for, so that leave them with more room to fill fights.

    Besides I think that the fight between Adamek and Johnson would mess up some HBO plans, I believe that HBO would like to have both those guys in their pocket for Dawson, even though he has already beat both. Then isnt a long list of guys for Dawson to fight.
