    Scroll right to the bottom!! ARGH!!!

    NB: Main Fight Scheduled for 2:30am Sunday Morning

    Horrific news! Calzaghe & Kessler, nobody in the States even know who these two are yet it's on at a time when everyone will be asleep in the places that matter for this fight! This is complete insanity! Frank Warren has signed the fight over to Setanta who are not well know/amateur so the only people to watch this fight will be a couple of football loving insomniacs and the people inside the Millennium Stadium. Jesus, how ****ing ******ed in this!?

    People will get too pissed, the late time will give the losing boxer excuses... this is very disappointing news.

    It will probably be on tape delay to the USA of America as it is so why can't they box at a more sensible time?

    ah come on, ricky hatton wasn't affected in his performance against kostya, so joe should have no excuses either. in fact i think kessler's body clock will think it's about 3.30 or 4am instead. tho im not sure about that however.

    and jeez do you have to blame american tv's? seriously fighters deserve the best payday possible for what they go through.

    if you cannot stay awake that long or need to get pissed that bad, then that's just shows why some people become great fighters while other people just soft civilians :yep. compared to what the fighters have to do in the ring i'd say you dont get it that bad. :lol:

    It's an absolute immodesty to the people who will be inside the Millenium Dome, can't believe this frivolity by Warren...

    If it's starting that late, it means HBO is kicking in an extra million or so. I wouldn't cry for the fighters, this means they get paid more. As for the fans, it sucks that it will be on so late in Europe.

    Another reason to move to the US.:lol: :rofl
    Just kidding but Calzaghe will kick Kessler's ass regardless of what time the fight starts there.

    It's bound to be HBO as they have recently been plugging both fighters and televising their fights as headliners.

    It is the promoter's job to be a sell out.

    At least I'll be at the fight live ;)

    At least nobody in the US will ever get the pleasure of seeing the great Joe Calzaghe fight in person!

    (Apart from the 10 or so he beat of course)
