    Really? That is just AIDS.

    It's on at 2am over here, and I'm really questioning whether it's worth staying up all night to watch one fight.

    Why are they not televising the whole event?

    It's Bradley-Alexander! Of course it's worth it.

    Yeah just one. And neither fighter is with GBP or TR so I guess we won't have a webcast of the undercards neither. Damn shame.

    They should have like a ppv option for fights. Like 10 bucks to see the undercards. I would do it for most fights.

    They blew the budget on both fighters purses.

    Just DVR it and watch it in the morning. It probably won't be worth staying up for.

    RM, how do you know it's just one? :think

    Usually in that case HBO only blocks out 90 minutes (to allow for some analyst talk time + the fight itself).

    In this case, it's scheduled to air from 10pm to 12:15am Eastern.

    2 hours and 15 minutes is more like the length of a WCB that includes the main event and a co-feature (usually a 10 or 12 rounder).

    You gotta figure, a championship fight takes barely an hour to air including ring walks (12x3 plus the minute breaks = 48"). That leaves them an hour and fifteen minutes to fill up with talk, rather than just half an hour. That doesn't jive. I really think there has to be another fight in there.

    My inclination is that Paris-Augustus (10 rounds) will be aired at 10pm, followed by the main event. It's the best undercard fight and it fits the broadcast slot timewise.

    Well it might not be fireworks.. but it still is the most interesting match made so far this year.... I wish there was an undercard.. but it is still a great matchup! But DVR it if you don't want to stay up... it might be a smarter decision.

    It said 90 minutes on mine, and Bradley-Alexander was the only fight listed. I set it up on DVR because I'm not going to be home to watch it live. :oops:

    I live in Europe I stay till 5 am for all the important fights. If you are a fan you can wait till 2 am. It's not something special.

    Was up IB,

    I read that it is only one fight. Paris - Coleman was not scheduled to be televised in the article I read. If there was another fight we would have heard something about it by now.
