Why wasn't The Wladimir fight shown any where in Britain?

Question

Why wasn't Wladimir Klitschko fight shown anywhere in britiain, ray austin was poor, but ok wladimir made him look ten times worser but still ray austin is ranked soo much higher than any british boxer has been since Lennox Lewis retired. There no British Heavyweight ranked in the top 50 since the the word poor couldn't even describe them. Am angry that lennox left at such a high and bum like matt skelton, Audley Harrison or Michael sprot cannot do crap nothing in the europ class never mind the world class
Why the hell have these british fighter been shown soo many times on sky sport,1,2,3,4 Itv,1,2,3,4 and then have never shown the no1 fighter in the world.
They never showed the fight when calvin broke against Klitschko or when Ray Austin looked no less of a clown than Austin power against Klitschko.
Please Britain show the best and forget the rest, not the other way around.

Am British myself and proud to be one, some people may get confused about why am i being negative about my own country, well first of all am not being negative about my country but am trying to learn these idiot who control the British media that the Russian fighter will bearly be affected if the British media don't show them because america has the most powerful media in the world and they obviously show the fight of these russians, such as Hbo.
But there still those racist american station that won't show them on they news channel or sport channel.
By not showing these top Russian HW fighter on Britain TV will destroy the British Heavyweight and the future of British Heavyweight fighter
The reason for this is obvious because the Heavyweight Champion wana-be from Britain are not watching the best HW in the world because they country don't show top fighter like Klitschko instead those champion wana-be from Britain watch bum like Matt skelton be, we need better fighter to look upto

Hey when danny william had the most emmbarrassng fight in Heavyweight history against Vitali klitschko, that fight was shown because a British fighter was involved, Maybe Britain lost interest in HW Boxing after wat Vitali had done to the no1 British fighter,

Answer 1

The likely answer to that is the cost of the rights to show the match is far too high when the boxer, altough a World Champion, isn't that well known in the UK and not a big draw. What you have to remember is that there over 60 different World Champions in boxing, at different weights and federations and therefore not all World Title bouts can be shown in the UK

Answer 2

Probably because he's not that big a draw in Britain.

I don't know whay the Wlad fight bothers you, or why you would possibly want to see it. Ray Austin fought terrible. Judging by that performance, if he would fighting in Joe Louis' day, he wouldn't even get in the Bum Of The Month Club.

But Audley Harrison, Danny Williams and Matt Skelton would...just. :-)

And as for Skelton...a rubber fight between himself and Danny Williams has been talked about. It could happen, because Danny is unwilling to give the Audster a rubber match. It's like a merry go round at the top of the British heavies...Audley, Sprott, Williams and Skelton all seem to be content to take on each other. Roll on the day when Enzo Maccarinelli and David Haye become permanent Heavies.

Answer 3

Pez no offence ur answer don't make sense. u should read before u write. It say britain HW fighter are shown but not Klitschko.
He right that there no Britain HW in the top 50 or probably tin op 100 at a time when the division is poor.
And Klitschko is number 1 by far.
And I think everyone remember Klitschko in uk because of that Danny William fight. But this is the older Brother of Klitschko.
To make my point if HBO(in america) can show Klitschko fight and sillly little Britain doesn't have no excuse not to show the fight it sound like this country has some serious racial problem.
They need to take out they head of what Vitali done to they only hope*danny William)
This fight should have been stopped in 1st round but Danny took uneccessarily punishment for 8 round and this fight really costed his career

Answer 4

Lets face it, who'd watch it?
Williams and Harrison have diminished any hype or excitement among british heavyweight boxing in its current state today, Bruno was a crowd pleaser and sold tickets, regardless of peoples opinion, he always was in Physical prime condition and never had 6 or 7 bellies, compared to Williams & Harrison Bruno was exceptional, I was never a bruno fan but i felt he was a good boxer with a weak defence, this was in fact trainers fault aswell,
At the moment the Heavyweight division is full of alphabet boys and we need another "TONIC" like Mike Tyson to clean them all out,

Answer 5

I would love to see any of his fight, he the no1 in the top division, If he was British the media would have bumed him so much that he would have got pregnant, too bad he from ukraine

Answer 6

It very strange I thought they would have shown it in Britain especially when they showed it in usa

Answer 7

because of the BNP

Answer 8

THE BRITS KNOW THAT wlad IS OVERRATED.
