what time of night will froch/bute fight?

Normal as it's happening in the UK

 

So were Haye-Maccaranelli/Froch-Dirrell and they started closer to 3 am.

 

Really?

I watched both of them t the time too. Really should start paying more attention.

Do they do that often? Why was Haye-Mac at that time?

well its not got major tv backing in the states as of yet. i think hearn said something about the license stating that they had to be in the ring before midnight...

 

Show starts at 7.30pm, I'd imagine closer to 10 than 12.

 

11pm is 6pm in Montreal. Would make sense.

 

I have a feeling HBO will pick this up. Hershman obviously a massive Froch fan and he has a good relationship with Hearn & Bute's guys.

Good point

 

Why would HBO help promote and showcase a fight whilst showtime still have 1 fight left with Bute, you never do your rival a favour. Its the reason they have stayed away from it so far.

 

agreed.

BUT - it is a good fight. If it gets nearer the time and no body picks it up, it could be going cheap and you never know.

 

Nobody pick it up, c'mon it's a fight we all want to see, Sky have this for sure!

 

Not to break into this riveting TV debate. But i think he means if no one picks it up in the US.

 

correct.

i'm sure that this will be on sky in some form. thats a given.

and yes, tv threads are ****ing dull, but its all we have nowadays... :tired
