HBO had the balls to take a stand!!

Derrick, pass the water bong over to me, you've been toking on it long enough....... Wlad Klit is great for boxing, and Russell Chagaev is not a total *****............. "Klit-Chagaev" is a good event...... Will the fight be good? Hell if I know............ But it 'tis interesting....... Cheers......
:bbb:hey

I watched it on HBO.

 

probably the replay.

do a google search with "vitali klitschko, williams, pay-per-view" and you'll see

but i'm sure a klitschko pay-per-view today would do better, maybe 200,000 buys

 

I doubt if it was in America. I was doing work on Klitschko site back then, and I don't remember it being PPV, nor any of their fights on PPV. I got a lot of reports before they were even published back then, checked English translations, etc.

 

It was Vegas... I believe Miguel Cotto was the co-main, and another bout with Carlos Hernandez...

 

When I get a chance I will check my videos. I have all of Vitali and Vlad's fights on tape, even Vlad winning gold medal.

 

or just check this.... good clip!

Klitschko-Williams was a pay per view fight

I was in US when the fight happened, so if it was PPV I must have bought it, just don't remember. It is unusual for Klitschkos to be on PPV.

Home Buttocks Office shot themselves in the foot.

Did you know that after Showtime took Vitali Vs.Peter fight HBO tried to get the fight back?! LOL! Funny as Hell.

 

I think it's a shame they didn't pick up the fight but hey at least they are serious about wanting to put out "good" fights. I like it.

 

What a suprise. :shock:

 

Farmboxer where did you get Vitali's career fight set? I have Wlad's on DVD but only a few Vitali fights.

 

HBO doesn't have balls, it also has a much reduced budget.

After such canvass classics as Hopkins Hakkar or Morales Fonke or Roy Jones Jnr Glenn Kelly, do you really think that they were taking a stand for the good of the sport?

 

It was PPV because I remember "tuning in" a BBC radio/streaming broadcast of the fight on the Internet and I would never have done that if I could have just turned on my tv and watched it.
