    Got it badly wrong at a family wedding the night of Manny v Hatton.

    Ended up drunkedly shouting at the concierge at 4.30 in the morning "What kind of 5 star hotel cannot provide PPV boxing to one of its guests."

    I wasn't staying in the hotel. Ended up in the carpark listening to 5 Live.

    After all that Ricky gets sparked in two and I fall asleep in the car.

    I meant to say I read the fight is scheduled for 11 pm. Should kick off around 11.30.

    The US broadcast is starting at 5pm EST I believe. So that would be 10pm EST your time, so normally I'd say that would mean 10:20ish your time, but EPIX has proven incompetent at times and had some extremely long wait times.

    I'm not sure, but I'm curious to know myself.

    Someone said on Twitter that they're due in the ring at midnight. So I'm expecting 12:20 start time.

    6pm EST the US broadcast starts. My bad McGrain.

    So it will be after 11pm your time I'd say. I'm guessing closer to 11:20-11:30. So I'd safely say after 11 but before 11:30 seems a likely target.

    Good luck timing your wedding obligations so you can see the big fight.

    Yeah I thought it was midnight, the program starts at 10pm and go's on till 1.30 so I imagine 12.00 is about right.

    I read Epix have a countdown clock on their site. I can't access it at the moment where I am. The countdown is apparently for 11pm / 6pm EST.
