These major TV companies have been refusing to buy Wlad fights on delayed coverage let alone competing to get him live. Fact.
Yes but did Showtime/HBO televise ALL of Hatton, Calzaghe, Froch, Tszyu's fights? NO they didn't, they showed big fights or in the Froch-Dirrell match they showed a torunament fight.

Also The Klitschko's refuse to move the start time of their fights thereby forcing HBO's hand to have the fights shown twice making extra programing very difficult. Also they have NEVER shown an undercard for a Klitschko fight that is based in Europe so they have to have the live fight and then when the tape delay is shown have another fight shown as well as HBO does tend to have more than just 1 match (though they will have just 1 match on occasion.)

But you keep on believing what you believe
