    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.

    I don't think it is an unreasonable request. If folks on the West Coast who don't own a Tivo want to watch both shows, they must watch the HBO card first. HBO should extend this simple courtesy of not spoiling the Showtime results to their viewers. Or if they want to satisfy all of their viewers (those that want to know, and those that don't) they should give a warning before announcing the results.

    But I do agree with you that folks coming on these forums asking for no spoilers is a ridiculous request. Unlike turning HBO on, visiting these forums is not a requirement to watch a fight.

      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?
      Bump. Can anyone tell me if HBO will 'spoil' the 10:00 pm Klitscko-Austin broadcast by revealing the results of the fight?

        update: i hear from a reliable source that HBO will most likely not spoil the showtime card because i guess they got ALOT of criticism for doing it last time..
