    December 8th. Why do they keep doing this to us?

    The boxing fan is always disrespected.

    You have Lomachenko beating the hell out of Pedraza with Dogboe on the undercard of that event. Chocolotito with Braekhus on the undecard of another event that nigh and UFC 231 with 2 fights I'm dying to see that same night. The only good thing is that Kell Brook is fighting some bum in England so I'll see that around 5 pm my time. Why do these promoters keep getting in pissing contests that only hurt us? The only good thing about that day is that my San Antonio Spurs aren't playing because I'd really be screwed then

    It's not that, just too many dates for networks that they have to fill. ESPN is putting on 30 shows a year, PBC will be putting on 22 shows a year (12 more on FS1), DAZN will put on 16 US shows a year and then you have all the international shows. Even if the promoters tried not to put on shows on the same day, it would still happen just off the amount of dates that need to be filled.

      ESPN had that date before HBO. Weeks and weeks before HBO. HBO wasn't even sure they'd still be in boxing in December. Don't know why they would schedule that date

            Yep, and then whatever deal K2 gets and even the NBC dates with Duva. How could you avoid going up against another card?

              Idk what you're talking about. Watch what you dig or embrace technology. When NCAA football is on there are like 300 games on Saturday or w/e the f#ck. And I think a lot of sports are like that where all the games happen on the same day for the most part & its just how sh^t goes that you are gonna miss some of them. But if you gotta watch everything setup multiple window on your TV or computer. I've been watching 3 fights at the same time before. It ain't THAT hard.

                The better card will prevail.

                  We are going to have over 100 cards in tv or streaming it’s going to happen a lot. That’s why there is a dvr and the streaming is on demand so it’s all good

                    I will never, ever complain about multiple good (or at least interesting) fights taking place on the same night. Be happy that they're even happening. Pick the one you're most invested in and watch that one live, then download/replay/on-demand the others, it's not that hard, I always do it. Just got to be careful not to go on social media and spoil the results.
