Or it could come down to simple business. If they don't think more people will watch it than a movie in that time slot they wont show it. I sure as hell hope they do, it is the one heavy weight fight I've had interest in in a long time.
Of course. Wlad-Haye is a huge fight. HBO was going to cover it before Haye b*tched out the last time.
Probably,its a huge euro fight so we can **** it up by letting the US show it live at about 5am central euro time.That would not supris me at all.
That's half true. Fact is, you can't promote yourself to potential subscribers, as HBO does, as a boxing network unless you show the most important fights....And Haye vs. Wlad is the most significant fight in the division aside from a showdown between the brothers.
If they wanna make as much money as possible it will be... and I think they'll decide in favor of this idea...
exactly, they were set to show Wlad-Haye, set to show Vitali-Haye and certainly would show either fight if/when it's made.
