    Dont think it will be.

    I know Eurosport showed Tarver Dawson 1 a few weeks after also (aswell as Setanta showing it live) so hopefully they might show it in a few weeks time, best we can hope for I think tbh.

    The first fight was a decent fight imo but yeah I cant see TV companies falling over themselves to buy it.

    Maybe the americans should bring their prices down.

    It was painfully one-sided and I see little reason why the rematch wouldn't be as bad.

    I've seen worse fights.

    It was one-sided yeah but Dawson showed some skills.

    I'd rather have the chnace of seeing any fight than not seeing it at all but I agree considering what the TV companies would have to shell out I can see why not one of them has bothered.

    I know the first fight was so one sided but Tarver has got a history of winning return bouts so to not be able to see it on tv over the weekend will suck , maybe setanta will get the fight at the last minute or is it to last minute ?

    Well they've pulled out other fights at the last minute but to be honest I dont think they're that bothered with this one. They pulled out Jennings Cotto late on but that was involving a Brit, they pulled out JMM Diaz late on but people had bombarded them for weeks to get that fight. Also add to that Setanta's money troubles and the fact that they've got the Marco Huck bill on staurday night I really doubt they'll bother.

    Can't really see Setanta showing this. I wouldn't be too fussed on watching it either.
