A 10PM Central Start Time is a FREAKING JOKE

This is not just about tonight but even main event ppvs have ridiculous start time. You have to wait and suffer through crap under card fights and when the main event starts and its almost midnight and to make it even worse, you wait all that time and you end up with a robbery or a crap fight. This is why lots of mainstream fans who buy ppvs always end up regretting it. Look at other sports, they go out of their way to give the fans the best viewing pleasure possible. Successful sports dont make their fans wait till a couple of hrs to midnight to show their product. Its moves like these that have caused boxing to fall out of the mainstream and to niche status. From corrupt judges, promoters, fights the fans want not happening, fights we dont want happening, to the constant late start times for main events Ive never seen a sport that constantly treats their fan base like complete and utter sh*t quite like boxing

I have comcast I can watch this fight on regular HBO east at 8:00 p.m. Or I can watch this fight on HBO west on HD. I am going to watch this fight on HD. I just got a new t.v today. I'll just watch it on HD later to night and won't come on here till later tonight or next day. I always do that anyway the later the better for me. I get to spend time with my wife and kids until the fight comes on late night by that time. I ll have like a six pack before the fight comes on then drink more during the fight with my pen and paper scoring the fight with friends or sometimes with my girl. She's a huge boxing fan as well.

I agree 100%. **** this ****. It's 11pm ET for me. Even worse. I tried to get people over to watch this fight and let them know that this is a big fight and when I tell them its 11pm, they say "Why does boxing start so late at night". It's Saturday night. People trying to go out, party and do their thing, not sit around and watch a boxing match that doesn't involve Mayweather or Pacquiao. awwwww boo hoo :bottle::****you:

floyd fans such as u still had wet dreams from that fight and boner when they wake up specially that B!tch slap floyd did to ortiz???? wow that one was amazing!!! come on now :nonono: I'm a man so don't talk that sideways ish to me. I said the fight wasn't boring. That has nothing to do with how it ended. If u had a problem with it then that can be debated forever but the four rounds they fought weren't boring unless you're just a casual fan who only likes guys like Rios. In that case, I advise u to not watch tonight

there are about ten fights going on before HBO goes on at eleven. what time would you want them to open doors then at radio city? you cant ask them to start the card at 3pm in the afternoon. that is crazy. and its saturday prime time people just complain to complain about anything primetime is six o clock not midnight.

I might live in a pussified, hippy, liberal commune of a state. But at least tonights fight starts for Pea at 8. (Say it in your best Muhammad Ali impersonation. It's Tits McGee.) Haha same here, have plenty of time to go out and get retarded drunk.

Saturday nights are the worst times for TV. TV ratings on Saturdays are always much lower than the rest of the week. This is documented fact, so the people trying to say it's all okay are pissing in the wind. Nobody wants a TV slot set in late night Saturday.

shane mosley fight was boring, ortiz fight was a travesty lots of p*ssed of people. marquez fight was also boring despite the knockdowns. people wanted the KO but floyd never gave it to them. floyd never gives the fans what they want. you act as if floyd because of the cotto fight is now some action star in the ring. There is no way the Mosley or Ortiz fights were boring. That's hater talk

Regardless of there not bring undercards, events are taking into the a.m. Perfect examples are Mayweather fights that never live up to the hype and relatively boring, just saying, its one of the main reasons I don't buy his fights. Yeah but if you order a Mayweather fight the entire neighborhood wants to come over to your house no matter the time. For fights like this its hard to get non-boxing fans to watch and the late start time doesn't make it any easier.
