    You guys are lucky, subscriptions to HBO or Showtime usually run you about 20 bucs for the month.

    Another thread to try and substantiate Wladmir Klitschko. :nut

    The division does suck. Period. There are 2 or 3 deceny guys and the rest are a joke. If Wlad was in the HW division 15-20 years ago, he would be nothing more than a fringe contenter that would never see a belt. Guys like Tyson, Holmes, Lewis, Bowe, Holyfield would have all beaten him easily. Period. :yep

    its why boxing is popular in europe, because it is a primtime event on mainstream channels.

    equivelent to live boxing on say cbs/nbc on at primetime.

    big boxing events in the uk used to receive a 25 % market share of the whole population.

    Very true, could you see what would happen if Wlad tried to clinch Bowe on the inside, Bowe would get in a couple uppercuts and the fight would be over.

    Not to sound ignorant, But if thats true why do fights that happen in Europe seem to try and accomodate US time zones? I heard sometimes that happen there take place at odd times in the morning just to be brodcasted in US at primetime viewing.

    If you needed my help to prove Wlad fights in the worst HW division in history and that we couldn't have been the water boy for many of the guys from the 80's, you should have simply asked me. :yep

    :rofl
