    Would you watch as many fights live as you do now if it meant you had to wait till 4/5 a.m. before it started?
    Being a boxing fan in Europe is annoying because youre basically need to stay up till the early morning before you can see fights that take place in the US.

    That's a tough one man. For certain fights, I'd set an alarm or whatever to see it, but damn man. I feel for the fans who HAVE to wait like that or they miss it.

    Casual fans? Forget it I'd bet.

    Probably if I don't have school/work the next day early. Of course it depends on the fight. More likely I'd just ignore places like this and watch the fight ASAP if I didn't stay up

    If its a good fight hell yea. Put the timer on for 4-5. Unless you drinkin it up all night till the next day or just record it or use dvr. Problem solved. Just make sure you dont read the result on the paper.

    I would just download the fight the next day. It's better to watch live but there's no way I'm staying up until 5 am to do so.

    I'm pretty routinely up that late too on the weekends being a night owl and all so it wouldn't be that big of a stretch for me.

    DVR would have to be a MUST.:yep

    A lot of the Big PPV's I imagine I'd be up....whether I stayed up or have to set an alarm to wake up in time. That's me though, I LOVE this ****. Regular fans wouldn't **** with that.:yep

    DVR would be a necessity and yeah I'd stay up for big PPVs, I usually split those with friends though so I imagine it'd be hard to get a group together at that hour.

    tough question, really depends on the fight. Mayweather-Mosley? Sure I would have waited up until 5AM for it to start.

    Chavez Jr-Duddy, **** NO.
