    To be shown on delayed coverage at 10am, similar to Hopkins/Pascal and Ward/Abraham.

    Seems the schedule has got it a bit confused with Brook/N'dou unless Matchroom are suddenly putting this on in Guadalajara too :lol:

    wish theyd show it live. Does it really work out that much cheaper for them to show it the next morning? Still its better than the 6pm for Alvarez Hatton, couldnt avoid the result

    most of the shows seem to be 10pm starts again - which i prefer to the 8pm starts to be honest

    So we can either watch it live, or whenever we want the next day with HBO coverage, or at 10am with the Sky clowns. Hmm...

    Seriously, this is better than nothing, but delayed coverage in this day and age is next to useless for a lot of the people that would want to watch it.

    And why the hell is Brook vs Ndou not being shown live? That better be a mistake.

    Think it is wrong, look at the date and location. Obviously got it mixed up with Rhodes!

    barely anyone stays up for the early fights, compared to the footie crowd who might turn it on after a night on the lash. It's all about audience share.

    Is there an HBO online channel or are you talking about streams?

    What do Sky usually show at 2am though? Things like fishing and replays of earlier days sports?

    If it's just a shceduling thing, thats bull****! I can't see it costing that much more to do it what, 6-8 hours later?
