    That's a definate then; they will not replay it. Ok, next question: this is a Don King card, right? I know one time Mayorga and Judah fought on the same DK card, he sold the right's (or whatever) to FSN and they replayed all of the bigger fight's on that card one Sun. at a time....Now I wonder what the chances are of him doing that again; but then again I dont think I want to wait that many mo's to see it. Sometimes I hate boxing!!!!!

      I just bought a splitter and will be watching both cards, I will focus on showtimes undercard because of the vander/lacy and kassim/verno fights, they both should be great too watch. I agree that 9 out of ten times you get screwed on pay per view, I knew that going into nard and oscar match but I still had too see it, this tito/mayo fights is different-missing this is something you will regret, its a mini hagler/hearns, someone is getting hurt! Pony up and watch em both!

        Tito-Joppy was replayed on HBO the following Friday night...without a live bout to support it.

        Believe me, it will be replayed the following week. It's a big fight, & it's bewteen Latinos.

        Of course, HBO will not let you now they intend to replay it.

          I have no problem deciding WHICH one to watch; Showtime always shows replays usually by Thurs. of the following week. That's not the problem. I want to see Tito fight again; I just didnt want to pay $50 and then them replay it and me feel ****** for wasting that money. But with no HBO fight's in the near future, they wont replay it, so I suppose I'll be shelling out that $50. I'll watch the Showtime boxing on the West channels (which comes on 3 hr's later) or on Thursday

            Well - if you go to the HBO website, you see previews for OCt 2 (trinidad-mayorga, which also got a plug after the hopkins-dlh and throughout the broadcast), Nov 20 (WRight-Mosley 2), and Nov 27 (Barrera-Morales 3). But not Nov 13, which is going to be a King card (Byrd, Ruiz, Rahman, Holyfield)

            So I'm guessing this Saturday's an HBO event with Lampley and Merchant, but the Nov 13 will have the King logo and announcers and lighting and graphics.

            The last one that got sold to FSN was distributed through, and briefy advertised on HBO, but did not have Lampley and Merchant, or any HBO previews on the show.

            So I really don't know, but all that leads me to believe that this Saturday is an HBO event - especially since they're replaying Trinidad and Mayorga fights on HBO2 this week.

            They won't do that in early Nov by replaying Ruiz-Rahman and Byrd-Oquendo, I'm guessing.

              I guess just to be safe, I'll rent the fight and then when they replay it (?) I'll be one of many kicking theirselves in the rear! ANother problem, my college team playes Sat. night at 7pm..sometimes it just doesnt pay to be a fan!!!

                I understand Shobox being tape delayed, but Showtime should really follow HBO's lead (with Championship Boxing) and show its America's Fight Night live on the West Coast. I can't imagine boxing fans in Cali want to hear the results on the radio or online before watching the event. If Wlad was fighting overseas, maybe, but not in the States. TIVO CUSTOMERS - ALSO - SEE HOW THE CAPSULE LISTS THE RUNNING TIME AS 2 HRS AND 0 MIN? THAT'S DANGEROUS IF ALL 3 FIGHTS GO THE DISTANCE. TIVO COULD KICK OFF BEFORE THE END OF THE MAIN EVENT. MAKE SURE YOU PROGRAM THE SHOW AFTER BOXING OR CHECK BACK AND FORTH SO YOU DON'T MISS WLAD's FIGHT

                  That's easy. Pick a new college team.

                  My team, Purdue, will have disposed of Notre Dame long before the first fight Sat. night.

                      I was just speculating while I typed. I hope no one takes what I say as fact. I'm as full of crap as the next guy...
