Foreign Born Fighters Cant Win On HBO

You're one of the worst posters on this site. You never have anything remotely intelligent to contribute whatsoever.

 

Just once this year. Alexander-Bradley and it showed why that doesnt happen too often....

 

Stop acting as if you are American, the only Americans i know from your America are native Indian Americans

 

Good thread, but its not just Hbo. Its almost becoming a weekly occurence everywhere around the world.

 

Its been getting particularly bad in the states recently, if i was an away fighter coming to fight a yank in somewhere like st. louis, oakland, actually pretty much anywhere, i would be very worried about getting shafted. Froch should insist the supersix final is in vegas, he (may or maynot) get a fair shake there, probably not tho, wards name has been on this from the beginning

 

Pirog would have been robbed as well, im sure of that.
Zaveck is also screwed if it goes the distance vs berto even if he would win 116-112 type decision it would end in 115-114 berto

 

It's not HBO and the home town of the fighter, it's the "story" that HBO/promoter is selling, the investment they have put into a fighter and who fits! Obviously though HBO mainly shows US fighters, which is why OP has that opinion.

The bigger draw always get the close decisions. That's the cash cow. Keep them relevant, keep them winning and keep the cash coming in!

If you'd invested millions in promotion and have a fighter that guarantees high PPV you don't want some unknown upsetting the kart. Of course it's fixed! Too much money involved to be left to chance.

Hatton was the draw vs Collazo and HBO had investment in him. Same with Joe and Hopkins I believe. They both clearly won either way imo. However, they may have been robbed if they weren't draws.

I don't agree with it, but to think that it doeesn't go on is naive.

 

Native indians really did get robbed, but then again it was a bit like a heavyweight v LW

and its a fooking shame!!!
