Problem is there are no marketable US heavyweights. HBO would love this division if they had a couple of hype-able fighters. Mitchell, Arreola aren't with their losses and weaknesses. If Wilder won a couple high-profile HW fights he'd be interesting for them but he's years away from that probably.
I never understood why Showtime/HBO don't pick up more international fights. You would think that it would be very cheap for them (call it in-studio) to broadcast some decent fights to round off their schedule.
I would love to see Fury/Haye fight, and all of the Klitschko fights. Would love to Pulev/Thompson fight, etc. I think HBO should show Vlad Vs. Wilder after Vlad knocks out Povetkin. Or Vitali Vs. Wilder after Vitali knocks out Stiverne...........
HBO way ahead of the curve on International fights.Look for more fights originating from Europe next year.:good
