Pac vs Rios starts at 11am, is that a safe time to be fighting?

[Russian Crushin]

You are thinking EST fights in Vegas the main event starts at 8 pm there

Yes but east coast fights start very late

I remember Cotto-Foreman started at almost 1 am

[PACnPBFsuck]

Exactly. I actually never understood why boxers fight 11pm that is ******ed. You're up ALL day long and are winding down to go to sleep and now you have to fight the biggest fight of your life? A morning fight makes far more sense

I doubt they're awake all day, there was a 24/7 recently that showed one of these fighters sleeping and it was pitch black in the room, I can't remember who it was though.

Wasn't Tyson/Douglas around this same time when they fought?

And yet Douglas put on a performance of a life time the same way I see Pac doing so to Brandon...

Wasn't Thrilla in Manila also fought on a Sunday morning?

And agree with Russian Crushin. Main events on the east coast always start at around 11 pm. I don't understand why they have to be so late. Same with fights in Europe.

I dont know about you guys but I can knock out a motherfucker anytime of the day and I aint even a pro, so they be okay.

They are late because these fights are predominantly are in the west coast thus the three hour time difference.

It's okay, Pacquiao and Rios' mothers will be there to keep them safe.

It's a poor business strategy for a fringe sport that relies on pulling in the casual fan to make up its revenue.

The PPV starts at 8am their time, which accommodates for US people to buy the PPV, but is that fair to have fighters fighting at that time?

When Forch fought Ward in America, it would have been at about 4am/5am for him, was that fair? The fighter just needs to adjust their train schedule to match the change in time.
