Even if he was considered more exciting, HBO just isn't in the business of showing 108 pound guys fighting each other.
we're only in June and there were rumors of HBO already being kinda tight with their budget, so doesn't shock me to not see them cash out for a fight at a weight class that gets little attention, don't forget Viloria is in the same boat, he's never fought on a regular HBO broadcast either
True, but Arce was a bit of a special case, very exciting but also charismatic and a huge Mexican following.
I really got mad yesterday when I read in the local newspaper that Calderon fight was being taken out of the transmission because they needed the space for the Dark Night movie (Batman). Dam, this was really disappointing. I really don't know why people don't pay as much attention to the low weights, when they display such as great talent, I guess this is something that the true boxing fan should appreciate. We can watch Floyd dancing in the ring for 12 rounds, but we can not watch Calderon doing the same just because he weights 40 pounds less. Guys Calderon is one most (if not the most) skillfull boxers today. He has an amazing ability, unfortunately he does not have the KO punch to be attractive enough to the TV. Still I consider Calderon the best of his division today, and one of the best of all times in his division (and I am not saying this just because I am from Puerto Rico).
Puerto Rico, Small Island, Big Champions!!!
