Lomachenko vs Linares Starts at 8pm ET. Should All Main Events start this Early?

You better watch Grady with that footwork... Damn...he does look like he can dance around the ring on Fred G. :D :D :D

What a joke espn is in Australia we don't get the fight live but we get live college softball

8PM is excellent. Definitely a great time. A main event that comes on later than say ten o'clock is BS. We get that a lot over here...even fight cards that are in DC or NYC have main events as late as 11:30PM. Sometimes I don't mind it but if I want to hit a nightclub afterwards then that could pose a problem... SN: Fred G. Sanford had a mean body punch back in the day LOL

I heard it's starting early so it doesn't interfere with Ali-Munguia

Well its 5pm for me. Guess Ill check the UFC after. UFC is even worse at starting Main Headline Fight then Boxing...sometimes as late as 1am ET.

Yeah i wish all of em started earlier.

I tape ESPN fights and watch them whenever I want. That way I can fast forward through the endless commercials and meaningless build up and just go straight to the fight. Showtime and HBO don't have commercials fortunately.

Damn you guys have it rough lol. I live on the East Coast so 8pm is good with me.

Depends on the ratings.

Ah cool, I had no idea. I was going to catch it tomorrow but I'll probably stay up now. It's the 4am start time fights that kill me off these days.

You sure mate? The BoxNation broadcast seems to end at 5am. I hope you're right though Yeah its early, remember Golden Boy would only let Linares fight if it didnt clash with their card and what was supposed to be the Canelo/GGG replay. Boxnation Twitter saying UK broadcast starts at 12 with Conlan, then the 2 feature fights.

It all depends on where you are. When I lived out west, this would be a 5 PM start, too damn early. Now that I'm back on the East coast it's at 8 and I like it. But here the NFL starts at 1 and I feel like I'm just waiting for it to get going, back out west when it starts at 10 or 11 AM it's bloody perfect. It all just depends on how on personal preference depending on your location, what's good for someone won't be good for others and you can't really change that when you have fans so dispersed across time zones. I hear you but some Main Event fights are starting at ridiculous times now. Its past Midnight ET before most Top of the Bill fights finally get in the ring...way too late!

Thats 2 in the morning in my country..does the undercard start at this time or the main event itself? Might tune in According to ESPN, their BROADCAST starts at 8PM ET and there's only 1 Fight before the LOMO-LINARES. Where can I watch the Linares-Lomachenko WBA lightweight title fight? The broadcast will begin at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday. The main card includes a 10-round welterweight bout between Carlos Adames and Alejandro Barrera. These fights also will air live on ESPN Deportes and stream live on the ESPN App. Carlos Adames will knock out Alejandro Barrera inside 6 rds so the LOMO vs LINARES will start no later then 9PM ET / 2am UK Time. UNDERCARD FIGHTS Starts at 4.30 ET on ESPN+ which includes Michael Conlan vs. Ibon Larrinaga.

They should start earlier. I would prefer boxing to be on in the afternoon so I can go out and do stuff on Saturday night.
