Anyone know how many fights HBO is showing Saturday?

I know Groves/Froch is the must see fight that everyone wants to watch, but they have 3 separate events and its seems they could make it a full boxing day event. I have looked on the website and its not giving much detail. For them to have 3 separate events airing on HBO, I would hope for 6 fights, at least. Edit: I just found it. Looks like it will be a 4 fight night from 3 separate cards. Will show the Froch/Groves and Nonito fight at # central time, then will show the Fortuna and Del Valle fight (along with replay of Froch/Groves) at 10 central time. This is my biggest beef with HBO, we dont get enough fights. They give too many 1-2 fight cards.

They are, and it starts at 10 central. Just want a few more fights. 3 locations and only 4 fights seem wrong. And only 1 is in the US and its the smallest card. The other 2 are in Macau and the UK. There's also Sturm in germany and Povetkin in Russia. Other channels are covering those fights

True but this isn't a bad doubleheader for a sat afternoon. You would think with HBO2 and the other channels they could find a way to show more fights. They are showing the top 2 fights from the Dibella card on HBO2 i think later

Im disapponted honestly. i wouldnt mind seeing DeGeale/Gonzalez and seeing Darchiniyan. Hell even seeing Gradovich would be nice True but this isn't a bad doubleheader for a sat afternoon. You would think with HBO2 and the other channels they could find a way to show more fights.

I dont see why asking for 6 fights is funny when you have 3 separate locations having matches. I dont do the website thing for watching fights. But it will only be a 4 fight day, from 3 locations. Because HBO dont ever cover 6 fights, they only show the bigger fights.

4:00pm Boxing Carl Froch vs. George Groves Carl Froch (32-2, 23 KOs) takes on George Groves (19-1, 15 KOs) in a 12-round bout, from London, England. Also includes taped coverage of the Nonito Donaire vs. Simpiwe Vetyeka bout from earlier in the day in Macau, China. Im disapponted honestly. i wouldnt mind seeing DeGeale/Gonzalez and seeing Darchiniyan. Hell even seeing Gradovich would be nice

Not sure, but there's a bunch of fights Saturday. The TR ones in Macao, Sturm-Soliman, and of course the Froch-Groves II show edit: I hope to see DeGale-Gonzalez on whatever stream I'm on.
