    What's annoying is that Froch-AA is the the first fight they show on Showtime. I don't mind that Showtime and HBO overlap each other, I just DVR one of them and watch the other one live and watch the one on DVR after. That's never been a problem, but the problem is that Froch-Abraham isn't the main event on Showtime. Here I'll explain I just hate watching the 2nd best fight of the night first, and then watching Ward-Bika and then the two undercards on HBO then finally JMM-Marquez, but if I watch the HBO card first then I get JMM-Katsidis, then Froch-AA back to back so talk about cardiac arrest, and then the ending is Ward-Bika, talk about an anti-climax. So, Showtime ****ed up by not having Froch-Abraham last...or I against you can blame Dirrell for not fighting Ward, because then it would be easy watch HBO first and then Showtime. Anyway, whatever....what was the topic again? Oh, yea, HBO and Showtime overlapping has never been a problem for me so I don't mind that.

    The problem with showing Abraham-Froch as the main event is that it creates a situation where the results could be spoiled during Ward-Bika.

    As far as both shows airing at the same time, don't forget that there is a Showtime West and HBO West (and a Sho2 and Sho2 West) which all show replays hours later.

    It's a triple-header.

    Caballero-Litzau is scheduled for 10 rounds, and Berto-Hernandez is scheduled for 12.

    So at most (assuming both of the above go the distance and they fill some time with commentator analysis) Marquez-Katsidis will be about 1.5-2 hours after the broadcast starts at 9:45pm EST...or around 11:15-11:45.

    Litzau Caballero could be a real surprise war and a lot closer then ppl think.
    Very possible of these fights tomorrow could be fight of the year. HBo + Showtime this would be a PPV i would order for 59$ in a hearbeat

    I will my split screen and DVR. HBO and Showtime are stupid to show their fights at the same time.

    :huh

    edit: I see. n/m

    That whole conversation stems back from this post:

    Which I had totally skimmed. :yep

    I just saw "US" and my brain defaulted to EST. :!:



    Froch and Abraham will walk to the ring at 10:30pm UK time/5:30pm EST/4:30pm Central/2:30pm Pacific. :good
