The Big Fight Live

ITV1

Amir Khan travels to New York for the second defence of his WBA world light-welterweight title. He takes on the resurgent New Yorker Paul Malignaggi, who was back to his impressive best last time out in beating Juan Diaz. The action comes live from Madison Square Garden as Khan looks to establish himself on the world stage and see off a top-ranked contender in their own back yard. Presented by Jim Rosenthal and Barry McGuigan, with commentary from John Rawling and Duke McKenzie.


Sunday 16th May on ITV1 from 2:40am to 5:00am

Also: at least one repeat.

[lfc19titles]

i am dreading the commentary tho

I would think/hope so mate.

don't get me wrong I'll be watching it, it's just a bit disappointing that's all.

Surely a 10pm UK audience will be bigger than the 3am US audience, Malignaggi surely isn't anywhere as big a star as Khan is here

a 10 pm uk audience means it will be on sky box office, you get me? khan is easily big enough to have all fights on uk ppv when on prime time (10pm or so). but since its on at 3am then it is free for all of us.

think of it this way, if you want the fight for 10pm you would have had to pay like 16 quid, for a few hours later you get it free

Perfect time for me. I'll be heading back from the Katsidis-Mitchell fight, so it'll give me plenty of time to mooch around and find some Aussies to hang with (in celebration, hopefully).
