HBO attempts to censor ammo sponsorship
http://hotair.com/archives/2015/07/2...boxers-trunks/
TLDR version: A champion Russian boxer is scheduled for a fight to be broadcast on HBO. He has a close sponsor relationship with a Texas ammo company, and has their logo on his trunks. HBO wants him to get rid of that.
HBO can suck it.
HBO: we're OK with two sweaty men pummeling each other repeatedly, but heaven forbid there be an ammo logo anywhere....
I agree with HBO. Ammo is used to committ violent acts. It has no place mixed with boxing.

HBO has a problem with gun violence?

No they have a problem with ammo suppliers. Their shows are "Gritty stories" that reflect specific times in our country. Including fantasy realms where anything goes, PROVIDING it doesn't try selling a product that goes against their personal belief.Originally Posted by Ah Pook

^ah, very good
If I was the boxer I would agree to not have the logo on my trunks.
Then I would show up in the ring with the logo drawn or painted on my back as large as I could.
On a side note, does anyone really even watch boxing any more?
