I agree with the fact that the Klitschko's arent getting respect, but remember that HBO is showing the Pavlik - Martinez fight, and showtime has shown many Adamek fights. HBO also showed the Pavlik vs Taylor fights.
- Kelly Pavlik has a powerful Jewish promoter, Bob Arum. Old Arum is very insecure about MMA becoming more popular than boxing, so after decades of promoting only non-White boxers like Duran and Toney, he finally took on a white American from Youngstown, Ohio.
- Showtime showed only two Adamek fights, Dawson and Banks. Versus showed one: Cunningham. However, once Tomasz established himself as the cruiserweight champion by defeating negro opponents Cunningham and Banks, then Showtime, Versus, HBO and ESPN
refused to show his fights! Adamek had to move up to heavyweight, even though he's a natural cruiserweight.
- HBO will show Arreola-Adamek because Arreola is a natural heavyweight and very strong, so Greenburg thinks Adamek will lose.
- HBO refused to have on Brinkley-Bute, despite Brinkley being an exciting, Gatti-like fighter with lots of heart and being Bute's mandatory. Greenburg chose the underserving Edison Miranda, who already has had many opportunities.
- HBO refused to show the undefeated Sergey Dzinziruk against their house fighter Paul Williams. Greenburg must have thought Sergey would beat him.
- It has nothing to do with nationality, only race. HBO wanted to show Haye-Wlad because they thought Haye might beat him. They refused to show Chagaev-Wlad because even though Chagaev is much more accomplished than Haye, he's white. Neither Haye nor Chagaev are Americans.
- They won't show Chambers vs. Wlad because Greenburg believes Chambers has no chance of winning.
