    Incidentally, what time exactly is the British card supposed to air? :huh

    The SS1HD schedule on the Sky website is no help - it has a whole 5.5 hour block filled in which includes Kessler-Bouadla, the Welsh card with Rees-Murray and Frampton-Turley, and lastly Froch-Johnson (10:30pm-4am British time; 5:30pm-11pm my time). That is just confusing and not at all useful when trying to plan out one's evening.

    There will almost certainly be a sizable gap of a few hours between the end of Rees-Murray and the start of Froch-Johnson. It would be nice to know when that gap starts. I know the Showtime broadcast of Froch-Johnson begins at 9pm my time (2am UK) but starts with a tape-delayed viewing of Kessler-Bouadla, then Froch-Johnson probably closer to 10pm (3am UK).

    So what time should the whole Welsh card be finished up by, assuming all goes the distance? Maybe 11pm UK time? So, a four hour gap between that and the live airing of Froch-Johnson?

    I would think the boys from Wales will have it all wrapped up by 11pm UK time IB.

    the Sky broadcast starts 10.30pm UK time.

    I presume they will show some of the undercard fights from America, but I think they will be banking on fights going the distance.

    Get ready to watch 12 rounds of advertisment by SKY
    I can't beleive these morons run adverts after each round even you pay £16 for Box Office events.
    They dont understand we are not watching ITV, CH5, CH4 for free. We pay for premium channels. This mofos soon going to run adverts in the midle of movie on Sky Premiere movie channels also.

    When you all say half ten (that's 10:30pm, right? We don't use that expression in the US and I can never remember whether you mean "half past" or "half before") - that's the start time for the main event of Rees-Murray, right? So the Frampton fight will air before that? Or after, on delay? Or not at all? :huh

    ...or is half ten the start time for the broadcast, with the undercard bouts shown as lead-in and then Rees-Murray starting much later?

    You're pissing into the wind trying to ask anyone to predict Sky, IB. They have the power to do whatever they want. They can and have delayed events to their suiting. Whatever some **** with a suit on at Sky decides will be the order of running.

    Half ten - 10:30 - is when the broadcast starts. These days most Sky shows start with the chief support, so I'd expect to see the Frampton fight up first. Although with tonight being a bit of a marathon they might do things differently.

    I mean the live show in Cardiff will end roughly 11pm. Skys broadcast does begin at 10.30pm going straight into the Rees fight live but the Turley fight will be shown later tape delayed so its not that confusing. :thumbsup
