          Thats why Im glad I have a DVR. I watch Showtime first then HBO after. I remember last time I was paranoid that Showtime would ruin the Lacy result, but they didnt thankfully.

            Man I stays in the bay, on the west coast. It was lovely when we had 575 which was showtime east, but that got cancelled or removed from the server, so now Showtime fights don't get aired till 9pm, and I gotta watch the HBO card first which starts at 6:45. It's all bad right now cuz I'm contemplating havig to watch the HBO fight on mute, to ensure no spoilers. I hate that it might come to that, but it's real ugly right now.

            Seriously when they announced that Cotto and Margarito won, I was not a healthy human being. I was gonna write HBO right there and then, but I was drunk off my ass chilling, I was pissed.

            I actually ended up falling asleep during the Margarito-Clottey fight, caught the entire Quintana - Cotto fight, but either way, it ruined my entire day, and I was looking forward to that day for a month in anticipation.

              yeah that sucks, same thing happens when you don't get a PPV fight and just wait until the next week to see it ...they announce it right of the beginning...mess the whole fight up for one. Happened to me with the Hopkins-Tarver fight.

                Now that we're on the subject... On March 13, HBO will broadcast the Klitschko-Austin fight at 5:00 pm eastern time and then re-broadcast it at 10:00 pm eastern time.

                Question, for viewers watching it at 10:00 pm will HBO spoil it by announcing the results before the fight? I was hoping to watch it at that time but I don't want it spoiled.

                    TV is an information medium. You can't ask a station to withhold information. If you don't want access to the information, you can easily avoid it.

                    Your request is almost as ridiculous as when posters here expect us not to discuss the fights until everyone has seen them. Think outside your little tiny bubble, please.

                      Surely, if you don't want to hear the results of a fight, boxingscene's nsb forum is the last place you should be! But in the case of HBO, not revealing the winner of a previous bout on HBO broadcasted 5 hours earlier, I don't see the problem with that.

                      HBO had the same situation with the Byrd-Klitschko fight where it broadcasted it at 5 pm and then at 10 pm. I watched the 5 pm broadcast so I don't know if they spoiled it at 10 pm. Can anyone here tell me?
