So, Calderon-Mayol

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...

Maybe with the following but not the charisma. Arce was a celebrity.

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

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...
.

like i said in another post, Viloria is a 108 lb fighter, and he's got power and is exciting, yet he's never fought on HBO either, both Calderon and Viloria have been on HBO PPV undercards but never on regular HBO, it's more of a lack of interest in the division from the GENERAL public, dunno bout you but Calderon/Cazares 1 was one of the best fights that year, it's not like Calderon doesn't engage, he just doesn't have to power to put dents in his opponents

Well if HBO showed Calderon as undercard of HBO PPV in the past then why scratched him now??... But we will leave it as it is, HBO don't want to show anymore Calderon fights for whatever reason they had...

...god please give me patience...

Calderon is lacking in the excitement factor. He's got no power. People wanna see knock out. I bet hbo will appreciate him more and give him more exposure if KOs Mayol. That's a no brainer.

Calderon's lack of power which usually results to boring fights makes him very tough to sell in the US TV market, aside from being in the smallest division of boxing...
