I just don't want to miss it so I need to know when does the main event starts exactly. There's some confusion because of the U.S. telecast. Can anyone tell me te exact starting time GMT, CET? :think
its starting at frank warren time. 2am in the morning. frank warren is trying to completely **** up british boxing. its not as if many americans will watch the fight anyway. put it on itv at 9pm and let millions of uk citizens watch it.
:deal :deal :deal :deal :deal This fight should have been aired on ITV1 - for free - at 9 pm. If THIS fight doesn't deserve that slot, after the good run boxing has had so far in the last year...boxing is finished.
Thx for the info... How idiotic to air these fights 2am GMT just to let the US public watch it live and comfortable... a fight which is only a superfight in the UK, but there it's really BIG... 2 AM... great...
Yes, somehow the Germans don't do that, do they? If only we fans could boycot the fights like this. Imagine how stupid FW would look transmitting a fight in an empty venue. Watching the fight from the comfort of your home just once is worth making a statement like this. Of course I shouldn't be the one to talk since I only watch the fights from home.
Its a british fight so it should be on at 9 oclock British time and if the yanks still want too watch it 4'oclock their time so they could sit down and eat their tea.
I agree. It's a load of bollocks. All he gives a toss about is lining the pockets of his and fighter's wallet. All this exposure stuff is nonsense too. It's not as if any Americans care about the cruiserweight division or Maccranelli. Most of the yanks haven't even heard of Steve Cunningham either so it's not as if that fight is gonna take off if Enzo wins. And to top it all, does Warren think boxing fans have some phobia about watching fights at 4pm in the afternoon? If I was in America it wouldn't bother me in the slightest if it was on at that time.
I've got to agree with you guys about the time. I would be pissed too. I can pretty much guarantee that all Americans that want to watch it would have absolutely no problem watching it at 4 PM instead of 9 or 10 PM. In the past we would get fights (Wlad I think) at a time between 12 and 4 PM Live you could catch it, then all Showtime/HBO would have to do is re-air it (tape delay) again at Prime Time for anybody else. But I say it's Warren to blame for not standing to make it so.
