    I can't see the Liverpool card going on that late. Trains out of Liverpool will have stopped before the main event finishes and theres no mention of a late night/ transport issues on the Echo website.

    I think DeGale will shine. He's looked very good recently.

    The last fight at the previous Mag 7 didn't finish until 2am.

    I'll let you know. I've sent an Email to the Echo asking for the main event time, if it finishes much after 11pm then I won't be able to get home.

    Obviously the times I had there are based on no stoppages but Macklin didn't finish until midnight and they all finished early.

    I can see it starting earlier than 8.15 though Rob. Wasn't the Mag7 a 6pm start? And the first of the 7 fights was at quarter past or something.

    They said on Sky it would be a 9 hour PPV. So assuming the Khan fight ends around 5am like other HBO Vegas main events the main show would begin at 8pm....

    I don't think all the fights will be shown live. Maybe some later as fillers between the Liverpool and Vegas.

    Also Andy Lee and Ola Alafoabi are on the Klitscko undercard.

    Fair enough, but how do you know there was no contract? I assume you work for SKY?
