Calzaghe-Kessler time change!

[ICB]

HBO has abandoned plans for Saturday afternoon live telecast in the U.S. of the November 3 Joe Calzaghe-Mikkel Kessler superfight. Instead the bout has been pushed back four hours to run head-to-head with the Juan Manuel Marquez-Rocky Juarez telecast on a rival network. As a result, the super middleweight unification which was originally scheduled for a 10PM start in Wales, has been pushed back to 1AM local time.

Why the hell should a fight between 2 European Fighters be pushed back by a US televesion network to a fucking inconvinient start time for most of the people who wanna watch it

What a fucking joke

Not to mention that both fighters will be fighting at a time at which they would usually be accustomed to being asleep at.
Same thing with Hatton/Tszyu.

What a F****** joke

Possibly something to do with the millions they are investing in this fight, its not ideal but i dont mind it at all especially for the big fights. But America is a huge Boxing country if you want to sell the fight to the big Amercian Networks you have to give a little back.

It won't change the fact that Calzaghe is still going to sleep in this fight.
