I was under the impression this bout was scheduled for Saturday but then I remembered F1 taking over vegas strip and as a motor sport fan as well looking forward it will be dope race. Thursday night boxing works for me. Im sure lot people will tune in tonite.

1:30 A.M start time??? Heck even 10:30 on a weekday is tough.

Let's just accept the fact that boxing always plays second fiddle to ESPN. They've been that way since FNF days. Yet they still managed to pay the cost of the fight with no complaints from promoter Bobfather.

I get believing in himself, but at 25%, even if he wins, he still loses. Rematch clause would probably say same terms. These young champions.. lol.

Out of curiosity, is he making more money against De Los Santos than what the 25% of Haney match would've been though? Not by split % but in terms of total $$$.

That's why west coast is the best coast fight is on at a perfectly timed 8pm.

The way boxing is going makes me miss my dvr. Got rid of cable to save money. I'd tape this fight tonight if I still had the ability. Really like Shakur but I ain't making a 2am fight that will likely go 12 rounds.

Before long we are going to be watching championship fights on Amazon Prime for a fee, on Tuesday at 3am or something. Starting to feel like more of a hassle than it's worth.

Almost half the population in the U.S. lives in the eastern time zone. Can anyone explain why boxing and the UFC keep starting their main events after midnight EST ?

[maguirre]

So fight starts at 10:30 PM, ET. Does this mean ESPN is only showing the 2 main cards?

How? When it's more than hes making tonight?

Morales and Barrera fought in their 20s
Jones jr and toney fought in their 20s
Floyd and Corrales fought in their 20s
Oscar and tito fought in their 20s


You're supposed to make these fights when you're young

If you wanna really see the fight, you’ll be up regardless if it’s 3:30 am. Let’s not act like it’ll be the first or last time we get less sleep then what’s recommended. This country is becoming softer and softer smh
