The New and Improved Boxing on TV thread!

"more important live broadcasting" :rofl

At 2am, really?

 

College basketball... :-(

 

wat

 

I bet they won't show it 'as-live', they'll chop off most of the news features like they usually do on repeat showings.

 

Any newson whether these fights will be on in the UK.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (No. 5) vs. Marco Antonio Rubio
12 rounds - Middleweight Division (for Chavez's WBC title)

AND

Sat 11th Feb

12 Rounds - Welterweight Division

 

wat

Nothing yet... :conf

 

Yes 2am UK time, Prime US time! so yes something more important than boxing, its a sports channel

 

I understand that, but they do have more than one channel. ESPN in the US show it on ESPN2, why not show it on ESPN America or ESPN Classic? it's not like there are any costs involved for them.

 

Apart from ESPN Classic isn't a subscription channel like ESPN and ESPN America, they're not going to give it away on Classic for free. Even though I'd love them to.

 

Ah, OK. Didn't know that. Still, there's really no excuse for not showing it live.

 

I think it's fair enough that basketball takes precedence but I don't see why they can't show it until Monday

 

February 18th on Channel 5: http://boxrec.com/show_display.php?show_id=635942

:good

 

Yep, agreed.

 

ESPN Classic come's with the subscription to ESPN, likewise ESPN America.

So you actually get a few channel's for your subscription!!

 

ESPN classic is available as part of Entertainment Extra pack, this also comes with Extreme Sports and Eurosport 1 & 2 as well as all the Lifestyle and all the News & Docs channels for just £5 extra a month
