    boxing is better promoted in europe and several other places than the U.S., that much is true. couple that with the fact that the european fans fancy boring, cuntish creatures as their heros and you have half a hundred thousand sheep attending mismatches.

    Looks like the fight may end up on pay per view in the US, because while they've had discussions with ESPN to carry the Povetkin fight, it doesn't appear likely it will end up there.

    If it's all as it's being presented, I do feel some sympathy for the Klitschko brothers. However, they do, in honesty, need to accept the fact that the US is not Germany, & their approach to fighting is & will always be met with disdain, not fandom. It seems they don't wish to accept that, but that's the way it is & will stay.

    Still, it seems HBO could've handled this quite a bit better.

    LOL. I guess that's why he still talks.

    So does this mean the shill has a more receptive audience at HBO than he does with many of its viewers?

    Or perhaps HBO just took a look at it's Feature Fighters and rethought it's position on the Klitschko's.
