Kiltscko / Chambers : NOT on HBO?

Just as disappointed as you ESPN picked up Wlad against Ruslan and Vitali against sam and juan. Maybe ESPN will pick it up

 

I think it would make a wonderful "Reverse PPV" fight. See, you order this laughable excuse for a Title Defense and sit through it, and the cable company mails you a check for 54.95 and a "Rupaul's Drag Queen Race" DVD set for season one, figuring if you are a Klitschko fan, you probably like that show.

 

For some reason I am expecting another Calvin Brock-ing.

 

Its sad that its only available as an INTERNET PPV. Seriously, that is really pathetic.

They couldn't cut a deal with a cable channel? Even a regular PPV would be acceptable, but no one will bother paying for a stream.

I'm not even a W.Klit fan but as a boxing fan I want to see this.

 

:rofl:yep:happy

 

While I wish it were on regular TV PPV, and not Internet PPV, I will be ordering.
It won't be $50, more like $20.

I even purchased a 35 foot HDMI cable so I can watch on my plasma instead of the computer.

 

As a Wlad hater, it will be my first fight I will miss of Wlad's since 01. I'm very upset, and disappointed HBO isn't picking it up. I guess it just shows how unpopular Wlad is in the states, and the lack of revenue Wlad could attract outside of Germany.

 

I think it really reflects on how unknown Chambers is in the States which is a shame the guy is a very good fighter.

 

Then why wasn't Wald picked up when he fought Chagaev? Yet was picked up when he fought a lesser, but more well known fighter in Rahman on HBO? Same could be said for Vitali when he fought Gomez on ESPN, then got picked up to fight Arreola based on his huge mexican fan base.

 

Wlad/Chagaev was on ESPN Classic. Live.

 

Yes I know, I watched it on ESPN. I just meant the fight wasn't attractive enough to pick it up on HBO. The Klitschko's fanbase in the states is laughable, and the numbers prove this. Hence the reason why HBO cherry picks what fights they want to pick-up. Even ESPN is reluctant to pick-up another Klitschko fight, based on the terrible numbers Wlad did the last time they showed a fight of his.

 

as of today the Heavyweight division should be banned from PPV and be only on free tv if they should be on tv at all.. the division sucks and its too boring.. no real fights just jab and hug fests

:hat

 

They tried to get it on free TV in the US, but ESPN said they didn't have enough money. Internet PPV for those that really want to see it sounds great to me. It's only going to be around $20, who cares.
