HBO will only approve Wlad/Haye for July 11, not interested in Chagaev as replacement

    We all know HBO discriminates against Indian fighters. I mean when have you ever seen a boxer from India on HBO? ****ers.

    I think they really hate Native American fighters. When was the last time those racist pigs showed a Native on there?

    How many people watch these World Championship Boxing events on HBO anyway, a few hundred thousand I guess considering it's a pay tv channel? I doubt HBO brings a lot of money to the table for this fight, so Klitschko really has no reason to consider their demands. The money for this will be made in Germany via ticket sales and German TV RTL with their 10 to 15 million viewers.

    When was the last time HBO showed a Japanese fighter?

    See the evidence is just piling up.

    but they will show arreola-mccline and tarver-dawson 2 :lol:

    this is the most significant hw fight since Vitali-Lewis whatever you may think of Chagaev at a historic venue.

    The fight is very likely to be boring. Much like Wlad vs Iggy. HBO does not want it's viewers to be subjected to somniferous fights. If someone watched this fight, they might think all boxing is that boring and never watch any boxing again. HBO has to protect its reputation.

    Arreola/McCline was on the undercard of Williams/Wright and both fights were entertaining.

    No this is the most significant HW fight since Iggy vs Wlad and we all know how that went.

    HBO seems to be slowly moving away from the heavies anyway. They turned away Gomez vs Vitali, Rahman vs Toney II and now this fight. My guess is they could completely abandon the HWs for a while if and when Arreola gets toasted off.

    Well that's awfully dumb, i remember when they did the same thing with Taylor and Froch. They really need to cut that out before show time( who i feel is better anyway at putting on the best fights) just completely take over. How could they televise Valuev against Barret, Wladimir against Thomson, Wladimir against AUSTIN, and not Klitschko and Chagaev which will be a much better fight that all of those? :patsch
