    Just saw a commercial for the fight on EPIX.
    They did a pretty good job too.

    Also TimeWarner cable does not carry EPIX. So with Cablevision and Timewarner not having EPIX I can't see the fight. And I live in New York ****ing City! Bull**** ass mofo's. I really wanted to see this fight too. I think Vitali will have his hands full.

    Good news: I'll get to watch the fight for free in Germany (RTL I imagine). Bad news: it'll be German commentating, and it's annoying as **** listening to these guys suck on Vitali's nuts starting about an hour prior to the match itself. Hello mute button.

    Since they refer to it as being shown on EPIX, I assume EPIX1, and not 2 or 3.

    The commercials I've seen on EPIX, also just say "EPIX", not 2 or 3.

    The commercials do not state if it will be in HD or not....since everything else on EPIX
    is in HD, I'm hoping it will be...

    EPIX will present a closed captioned simulcast of WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko’s defense against Odlanier Solis on a jumbotron screen in Times Square on Saturday beginning at 6PM. “EPIX believes the heavyweight championship of the world is very big and very important to the sport of boxing and its fans,” said Mark Greenberg, president and CEO of EPIX. “That is why we are broadcasting it live, streaming it live, and for free, and putting it on the big screen in Times Square.”

    To be honest, I'm glad I will be able to see the fight on tv again and not on some lame internet s****m. Though I wish the fights were shown on HBO again, but I also understand its a business. And the Klits weren't making enough money for HBO to broadcast them anymore.

    I would like to Epix get a hold of the rights to Klitschko-Haye. I bet if they tried they could beat HBO at their own game. The man over there who signed off on it was after
    one of the forces behind the Lewis-Tyson megafight after all.
