HBO are the best in the business and for them to pull the plug on the heavies is a severe body-blow to the sport. It does, though, reflect reality Stateside where the UFC heavyweights are big, agile, skilled and most importantly active.

HBO like any other will bid for a fight if its the right one - I suspect they will not turn away Mr Haye.

The article was lifted from a story on ESPN last weekend. HBO have said they are out of heavyweight boxing unless it is Haye, a Klitschko or Adamek in against each other so Spud is right they will screen the right fights.
