HBO passes on Adamek-Glenn Johnson

[OumaFan]

Is there a that really sucks smilie

its on boxingscene, says the fights all but done and just needs a network but that network will not be HBO who could have had it.

Hopefully Showtime picks it up. Its not the fight I've been waiting for my whole life but it almost surely will be pretty entertaining. HBO's done much much worse.

showtime usually do the big cruserweight fights anyway

i suspect they`ll snap up the fight

What are the criteria that go into picking a fight?

How do you pass on any fight that Adamek is in given his most recent performances?

Adamek has put on some good shows in his last few fights I would like to see this fight, but I'm not all that surprised that HBO passed on this fight. Adamek isn't exactly a household name and Glen Johnson is an old journeyman fighter with some impressive victories.

But they put on Tarver vs Dawson 2 which was originally on Showtime. HBO really makes me wonder what they are thinking for passing up this match. The winner of Johnson vs Adamek could set up a Jones or Hopkins showdown for the summer. Glen is never really in a bad fight and neither is Adamek. This fight has potential to be a fight of the year candidate.

Thats really bad news, both guys could have used the exposure!

Hopefully Showtime does the right thing as imo it is a great match-up!!!

I was just thinking that what a fucking joke. They put on Tarver Dawson 2. Adamek Johnson probably could be a fight of the year candidate and would definetly be much better than that shitty rematch.
