    :thinkThe true, lineal, legitimate, undisputed, universally recognised Heavyweight Champion of the world is going to defend his title soon and HBO are not showing the fight.

    is it because they cant show borderline gay porn on tv? two half-naked men grabbing each other for 20minutes.

    His last fight was on HBO. Wlad fights in Germany and becuase he has so many belts, he fights a lot of mandos who have little name recognition and little chance of winning. As such, HBO is not going to shell out money for these fights when they will originally air in the middle of the afternoon in the States. When Wlad fights someone that the public knows, HBO will generally buy the fight.

    If anyone watched that fight they wouldn't even be asking this question. What a pathetic display of hugging that was. Easily one of the worst fights I've ever saw and that's saying something.

    His fights are boring against taxi men who he as an obsession of hugging for 4-6 rounds before knocking them out.
