    I thought this fight was going to be broadcast by HBO...but it's not listed on their website. With the fight only about 3 weeks away, that seems strange.

    HBO advertised it during Taylor-Lacy. It's supposed to be on live in the afternoon (somewhere between 4 and 5 EST) and replayed later that night.

    I hope so, that or Showtime.
    Heavyweight boxing really needs to keep its US profile, especially when a title belt is involved.

    Im actually lookng forward to this fight, Rahmans last chance. Maybe he can be a belt holder again but i doubt it.. 2 huge punchers what more could you ask for..Someones getting knocked out.

    it is on at 4:45 PM Eastern Time on HBO and then again at 10:00 PM Eastern.

    They are going to replay the DLH/Pac fight before it.

    ok cool, thanks for the replies everyone.

    I don't currently have HBO...but I always subscribe to it the months of fights I am looking forward to, and then cancel afterwards.

    When did Rahman become a 'huge puncher'? His entire career is based on one fluke shot!

    Even worse, based on Lennox Lewis arrogance and lack of preperation.

    I'm surprised HBO aint become tired of the Quitschko sisters yet like the rest of the world, they're a disgrace.

    Exactly. Rahman's power is WAY overrated, AND his chin is grade A china.

    Rahman specializes in getting knocked the f*ck out, and that's exactly what's gonna happen to him in this fight.

    Same here.

    A while back, I used to be able to turn on Showtime or HBO from my satellite service site, watch a fight I was wanting to see that night, then shut it off right after. The fight would only cost me about 80 cents, or so. :good

    Can't do that anymore, cause the satellite service now has a disconnect fee on pay channels, if you shut it off before a full month.

    But I'll turn on HBO here shortly, so I'll catch Hatton thrashing Paulie, Arreola fighting next week, and Wlad and Rahman in three weeks, then shut it off. :good
