    I hope they don't show anymore. I always, ALWAYS get suckered into watching Wlad fight when it's on HBO. I can't help it, I know better, I know I'll be hurt again...but damnit I keep going back.

    And it's hardly even a technical masterclass like Rigo or May, or a display of crazy longevity and cagey tactics like a Hopkins fight. It's none of those things, it's just fuc*ing boring.

    Dont worry. I think Wilder has a great chance of becoming a HW champ and when he does, watch how big an event after the hype has been created and the fighters get recognition, when he faces Wach, Pianeta and Chambers

    If Wilder gets recognition it will be for being exciting, not fighting second rate bums. Let's see if he can get past the next level first.

    Wlad will be back once some corporate sponsorships are announced. Right now there are fierce negotiations between HBO, Nyquil, and No-Doze.

    NyQuil wants the exclusive sponsorship and marketing program for their ZzzzQuil product, with the tag line " ZzzzQuil - even more effective at inducing sleep than this bout"

    No-Doze wants the exclusive sponsorship and marketing deal so they can push their flagship caffeine product with the tag line " Ours pills are so powerful, even this match wont induce drowsiness".

    There were some Cannabis dispensaries originally in the running with the marketing angle of "Our bud so good, this fight becomes interesting" but was quickly scuttled by legal since HBO HQ along with fight venue are located in states where weed is still illegal.

    he is boring as hell but then again so is Mayweather at least no one is expecting us to pay to watch these heavyweight Robots bore us to tears, however they sell Maywethers boring exhibitions vs no hopers and laugh all the way to the bank ,,,,,,,,they wont show us any respect as long as they can rip us off with these hyped up poor mismatches sold as genuine competitive matches, I wont pay for garbage sadly many do so they keep feeding it to us

    So you are ashamed of fellow brittards? Anyway , wlad is always on HBO when he fights in US, if he fights in germany , then mainly , because of time difference , lack of quality american heavyweights and his boring style he's rarely on HBO.
