I see some pretty bad/boring fights on USTV, so why is USTV boycotting a good name fight? ESPN, Showtime, HBO, Vs.? Where are you? Really....... I think Chambers is at his lightest weight, which is unusual. Dimitrenko is active fighter. This could be interest, but we can't watch this fight. Why? Do we need another propped up fighter fighting a wino out of alley? Berto? Sick/boring. Let's see real fight........I really do not care about undefeated TV fighter fighting wino, so it's time to show some fights.
Be nice if they showed it, but probably they wont make enough money off of it, and sponsors wont buy ads...
They don't show much boxing anymore at all. Mostly younger people watch mma and ****, instead of boxing.
ABC, CBS, NBC used to show Duran, Ray Leonard, Hearns, etc., that made superstars on TV. Now there is too much PPV or not TV coverage at all. Free TV is where it's at. Lucky ESPN Classic saved the Vlad/Chagaev historic fight.
Klitschkos fights are good fights if you like boxing 101. Chambers is America fighter, so why not interest?
honestly i think it's just the natural course of things... boxing had its day. then faded. baseball was our past time, then after a few player strikes and the steroid era it faded. the nba reached its prime during the Magic/Bird/Jordan era and now is fading. The NFL is the sport currently in its prime in the US. In time, I'm sure it too will fade
HBO wont because neither fighter is GBP. The other networks should show it. Bull**** move they dont All you ****ers saying the networks wont show Klitschko, seems like they wont show anyone, even a guy (chambers) that might be the best American HW contender at this time
Hell, in the world of ultra-access to everything online, it's ridiculous and inexcusable that fight fans in the US can't watch this fight.
Because last time ESPN advertised a Eddie Chambers fight he put on a boring show, and Dimitrenko is virtually unknown in the US.
Why would anybody buy this fight. It has nothing to do with Boxing or anything else just like if the Bengals and the Raiders played each other...who would watch that besides the fans of those teams? It has nothing to do with "well Boxing is dying" and all that other bull**** Boxing is the 2nd most popular sport in the world. Chambers is boring and Dimitrenko is a no name.
But you have to admit those two guys (the boring and the unknown) are willing to take each other risking their positions unlike David Haye who he has not fought anyone good at +200. Such a fight deserves attention. I like that Chamber is not afraid to fight the bset. He has fought Brock, Povetkin and Peter. Now he takes on Dimitrenko. I do not understand how US fans are thrilled to see Haye who has not fought anyone worhty yet they ignore Chambers. It does not make any sense.
[FONT="] You should watch Brewster vs. Krasniqi, Brewster vs. Lyachovick and Brewster vs. Golota. Those were excellent bouts. There have also been other good/entertaining HW title matches in a past few years. Like Rahman vs. Toney, Vitali vs. Sanders, Brewster vs. Golota, Toney vs. Ruiz, Wladimir vs. Brock, Peter vs. McCline and probably some others that I forget. People are overplaying old "current era is weak and boring" card .[/FONT]
