    Why do give so many people attention to the notorious idiot Swann???? It is completly stupid to feed this troll again and again. Put this poor boy on your ignore list and ignore his posts in the future. It would be pleasure for people who wanna talk about boxing and not about the psychological problems of british kids.
     
  3. What you idiotic nuthuggers fail to realize is that HBO was willing to throw lots of money toward the fight, but HAYE PULLED OUT. So HBO went and rescheduled their lineup/schedule to accomadate the television audience. Then HAYE said he could fight in 3 weeks, then 7 weeks. HBO can not keep advertising (with their money) a fight that is not gonna happen because SOME LIMEY, TEA DRINKING BUTT PIRATE WANTS TO PULLOUT DUE TO THE FACT THAT HE KNEW HE WOULD BE KO'D--BRUTUALLY. As for ESPN CLASSIC picking up the fight, ESPN/ABC has exclusive rights to the College World Series, and the times slots on ESPN and ESPN2 was already booked. Instead of complaining, be grateful that you did not have to pay $49.95 for the fight. If HAYE did not PULL OUT the fight would have been on HBO, but HAYE PULLED OUT. So SWANN STFU, you Haye loving douchebag...Tell your boy to step up against Kevin "KINGPIN" Johnson and take his ass whoopin' like a man....
    KINGPIN PRIDE.................................................

    Wlad has sold out every time in the US. Seems like he draws fine to me. HBO is hurting just like all businesses and when Haye pulled out, they used it as a way to save cash. Had nothing to do with Wlad.

    IMO Golden boy put pressure on HBO to force Wlad to wait for Haye (3 weeks at that time) by making HBO say they would only put on the Haye fight and nothing else. It all fell apart when Haye actually called and said he neede 7-8 weeks not 3

    **** HBO. They are not the only game in town

    Who's a draw then? Hardly anyone knows any boxers these days. There are no household name boxers these days at all.

    If that is the case Klitschko has been on HBO an American Network 16 times.

    What is David Haye then?

    Klitschko is well known in the States compared to Haye who NOBODY outside of Britain but hardcore Boxing fans know who the guy is or even what weight class he was/is in.

    Waldo needs HBO a lot more than HBO needs Waldo.

    Maybe you should continue to put Waldo's boring ass on ESPN Classic because unless he stops being so boring, he's never going to get anyone to watch him except those tools from Germany and Eastern Europe.

    Bull****. Wlad is a hugh draw....word is 18-20 million watched on ESPN.... compared to usually 5-6 million on HBO (not everyone has HBO).

    Seems like it was a dumb move by HBO and a smart move by Wlad:deal

    By the way, it was only on HBO classic because your boy Haye pulled out 2 weeks before the fight. Give then enough time and it will be on regular ESPN:deal

    I saw the report. It was also shown on a replay. Classic could be purchased for $5.00. So I guess ESPN lied to us...and your right:nut:nut
