    Peters may be Nigerian, but he is based in Vegas and is a name in the USA boxing community. Hence the advanced time in Germany.

    German primetime is around 9pm localtime. It moves depending on foreign broadcasting agreements.

    Yes:good. Its got to be SKY.

    If its on ITV then for me that will make it less of an event. Their commentators sound like to dads watching their kids box at school.

    I dont know what goes on in Warren's head, but i am stating this fight as a joke. You will also find it a joke if Warren really thinks Del Boy has any chance of beating Wlad, a fools hope maybe.

    Got to give it to Derick he got some balls, but that wont help him, good luck to him from me anyway.

    This is the usual thing people whine about in regards to boxing. He's ducking X, He's ducking Y, why are they fighting at catchweight, why is there all these belts, why is he fighting this bum. They just don't understand the professional game. If you want to watch Boxing in a similar sense to other sports then follow the Amatuer game.

    Unlike Tennis, Golf, Professional boxing is as much an entertainment event as it is about Sport. The ultimate decider is what happens is MONEY, not who deserves a shot, who is the best, it's who can bring the most money to the table.

    People who claim boxing is dying because of fights like, Haye Harrison and Klit Chisora... you need to wake up because if thats the case it's been dying for over a hundred years

    I'm happy enough with Martinez vs Williams, JMM vs Kats, Rafa vs Juanma etc for now to let that one slide.

    Going off topic onto this.. Don't worry.

    IF pacman defeats Marg on Nov 13th AND IF Mayweather isn't hindered by legal events, then I have absolutely no doubt, zero, that Floyd Pacman is going to happen in the spring

    Any boxing fan who says one of them is afraid of the other is not in touch with reality. They both want to fight each other, it's going to make them huge sums of money, and they both think they can win. The reason it hasn't happened is because they both want to make the most out of it, they don't want to look back and think "Damn I could of gotten more money if...I would of won if I hadn't...", although more so from Mayweather than Pac

    They screwed up last March.. it should of been made but for the drugs thing, which has since been resolved.

    The biggest thing for me that convinces me it's going to happen is the way they dealt with the Nov 13th plan.. It was abandoned in a way which said to me, that they didn't seem bothered because they KNEW they could do it in spring, there was never a sense of panic or urgency along the lines of "We have to make this fight happen or itll never happen!", especially from Mayweather who took the approach of why fight in November when It can happen in spring and a clear tax year.

    Wlad vs Chisora is acceptable only for the fact that Wlad fights at least 3 times a year usually.

    Haye usually fights ONCE

    No he doesn't. Theres one near 12 month gap inbetween Enzo and Barrett when Haye was apparently bulking up for Heavyweight but other than that Haye has fought at least twice a year throughout his career.

    (Not that thats anything to be proud of!)

    .....erm then after Barret it took him another year before he fought Valuev.

    Anyway my main point is...wlad fights more often so tune ups are allowed when you fight 3/4 times a year like both K bros tend to do

    Peters is a name in the USA boxing community? :lol:
    When was the last time a Klit fight in Germany had some big TV coverage in the States or you talking about some other foreign country which is influencing the time?

    I got the timing of 12 month absence wrong, as you say it was in between Barrett and Valuev when Setanta (who were showing Hayes fights) went bust. Theres still only 1 year when Haye had a single fight.

    Hardly "usually" fighting once a year.
