    They might just be replaying it.... no other card seems to be going on that day.

    as for the card, it seems to be largely taken care of by Golden Gloves, the SA promotion company. That's why Makabu and Joyi are on there

      Probably not production, they might pick up the foreign feed. But they'd probably do commentary, like whatever they did for Klitschko Povetkin. Hope they show some undercard, it's probably free and doesn't tie up a primetime slot

        They'll probably show Murray/Flecther (since they're trying to build a fight, God willing Murray's big boy balls grow in).
        And then Makabu/Cleverly

          I hope they show those 2...although I hope it won't matter if HBO doesn't since I'll be streaming it when it's live

            Oh, that was the beef with Berto.. Not opponents he was fighting but the money, that posters claim not to care about, that he was making?


            Gotcha.. Beautiful response by the way

              I just hope this time they use the same two commentators from Monaco they used last time. They were so awful, that the crossed over into my awesome meter.

                No it wont be an HBO production, they will simply buy production rights from whoever is covering the fight over there. I dont remember how the Shiming HBO2 cards were set up but i think they had the Top Rank commentators instead of the HBO crew

                    Berto tied up prime time airtime and money that he did not deserve, he was an HBO fighters

                    Golovkin is fighting in Monoco, with or without HBO. They are simply buying production rights to cover him on their HBO2 channel and not even during primetime

                      Yeah that was a major beef. HBO had a budget and they wasted millions on BS fights like that.
