    Anyone know how many fights HBO is showing Saturday?

    I know Groves/Froch is the must see fight that everyone wants to watch, but they have 3 separate events and its seems they could make it a full boxing day event. I have looked on the website and its not giving much detail. For them to have 3 separate events airing on HBO, I would hope for 6 fights, at least.




    Edit: I just found it. Looks like it will be a 4 fight night from 3 separate cards. Will show the Froch/Groves and Nonito fight at # central time, then will show the Fortuna and Del Valle fight (along with replay of Froch/Groves) at 10 central time. This is my biggest beef with HBO, we dont get enough fights. They give too many 1-2 fight cards.

      Not sure, but there's a bunch of fights Saturday. The TR ones in Macao, Sturm-Soliman, and of course the Froch-Groves II show

      edit: I hope to see DeGale-Gonzalez on whatever stream I'm on.

          I dont see why asking for 6 fights is funny when you have 3 separate locations having matches. I dont do the website thing for watching fights. But it will only be a 4 fight day, from 3 locations.

              Because HBO dont ever cover 6 fights, they only show the bigger fights.

                True but this isn't a bad doubleheader for a sat afternoon. You would think with HBO2 and the other channels they could find a way to show more fights.
