    How are HBO going to market Charr? I mean how can you lie about this guy being an actual challenger and get away with it? HBO would open themselves up for lawsuits if they called this an 'exciting matchup' LMAO

    This just does even more damage to the heavyweight division. Sad.

    HBO don't specifically want to see Charr. The deal, as agreed when Vitali fought Adamek, was to show a future Vitali fight. I presume K2 told HBO that this would be Vitali's last bout and they have no choice but to show it.

    It's destructive for the sport at this stage though. A bum fighting for a world title on HBO? Pathetic. This hurts boxing.

    Vitali is a coward.

    HBO don't have a say in it. They are contractually obliged to show a Vitali fight and if he's retiring, they have no choice but to show the Charr bout because it's the only possible fight they can show.

    Vitali ****ed HBO and boxing fans over. This goes beyond simply ducking Haye.

    Weren't you one of the people who cried like a girl about Haye not fighting Wlad? I guess ducking is ok if it means the white guy keeps on winning, eh?
