Haye v Valuev fight time - anyone in US confirm

**Mark TKO** · 11-03-2009 06:53 AM

Know we've had a thread on this already but am getting conflicting info on when the fight time is - some sites saying 9.30-10 ish others say 1 am (ish). Can't get through to sky

Guess it all hinges on if its going out live in USA - so anyone from US know from your tv schedules what time its due on ?? Think you can probably shed more light than we can over here

Need to arrange my Saturday night around this and fit in beer, curry etc...

It's 9.30-10-ish

Sky start at 8pm. The undercard is pathetic. Only Brit interest is George Groves vs punchbag.

German TV regularly get around 10m viewers. They never have to accommodate US TV.

No, in Germany the fight is free to air on ARD - we don't get a good time of it in the UK with free to air boxing

On the recent "super six" night...

10 million is what Abraham-Taylor got in Germany.

15,000 is what Froch-Dirrell got in the UK.

Ridiculous.

No they show it on RTL which is a free channel that we used to get on Sky...

When I went to Dusseldorf for the Klitschko Chagaev fight we couldn't be arsed to take the 30 min train journey to Gelsenkirchen so just watched it on RTL in the Irish bar in town. Good call me thinks...

We can get RTL over here somehow but not sure how. I stayed in London the weekend just gone and our hotel room had all the Sky Sports and loads of foreign stuff including RTL...
