    HBO and many people considered Calderon fights as boring ones not worthy of airtime... But I think Mayol will try his best to make this fight interesting...

    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

    Very valid point... I'm not sure tho if I've seen the exciting little fighter Jorge Arce on HBO?

    Arce was the main event on HBO in his fight against Julio Dave Roque Ler, Pavlik/Zertuche was on the undercard, the Arce fight was at 112 lbs

    pretty sure his fight against Makepula was on HBO as well

    True, but Arce was a bit of a special case, very exciting but also charismatic and a huge Mexican following.

    IMO Calderon is also charismatic and has a huge Rican following... He's not that exciting tho...

    Thanks, so HBO actually showed fights of exciting 112 guys... It could be that Calderon is just a little boring fighter and also a bit smaller at 108 that HBO decided not to show his fight...

    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).
