Comments Thread For: HBO, K2 Unable To Work Out Deal For Golovkin-Adama

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The good news for HBO ?and boxing fans ?is that Gennady Golovkin will remain a fixture on the network as the 2014 boxing season takes shape.

The bad news is, the on-air relationship will not resume until the spring.

HBO and K2 Promotions, Golovkin�s promoter have exhausted all efforts in attempting to secure air time for the unbeaten middleweight�s next ring appearance, a February 1 title defense in Monte Carlo versus Osumana Adama. The deal called for the fight to be carried live in a mid-afternoon special on HBO2, but ultimately fell through. [Click Here To Read More]

glad HBO didn't pick this fight up.

it's an appearance fight for Golovkin. The less appearance fights they televise the better IMO

[Doriaan]

So... It's not televised ?

[I Love Jesus!]

cant they get a better opponent?

I'm the other way; more exposure means more revenue in the long run. Right now in boxing I'd pick quantity over quality in terms of fights.

Boxing is a business.

I wish Epix would get back into boxing.

Even though he doesn't have a good opponent that day its better than watching two more notable fighters pitty patting one another scared to engage.......like a fight recently that deserves no mention. GGG/Adama promises a onesided thrashing for your entertainment.
