Because Brits arn't the audience clearly. Showtime are the broadcasters and so obviously they need to cater to the American audience. I guess 2am over here is about 8 pm there, they clearly wern't going to put showtime on 4 pm or something to cater for us

I don't mind the 2am start, its the same as Calzaghe Lacy and that was one of the best British fight nights in years.

Yeah Showtime and the Germans need to be primetime too.

2am isn't so bad a start time but it's not good when the British undercard is beyond dire.

Who's on the card?

heheh Bilbo I remember really enjoying the Lacy fight... up until the 6th or 7th round... then it just became painful to watch and I wanted to sleep!
