Kessler Beyer is just over a week away...

More importantly than all your HBO debates (at least to me)....is this one going to be televised in Britain? Hopefully it won't be on at the same time as Calzaghe's bout, but does anyone know if it is on at all?

Cc to the first person to tell me where it can be seen

Don't know, but seriously doubt it will be shown in the UK. Haven't heard of much UK interest in the fight, where all eyes will be on Calzaghe, and where Kessler is far from being the prefered future opponent for Calzaghe (as far as i'm able to tell).

If ARD has got the rights to broadcast it in Germany/mainland europe, i doubt very much Eurosport or other european networks will pick it up.
From what i know Eurosport have never shown any of Kessler's fights so far.
And simply not enough interest for purely british networks to bother.

And Royal is no where in site... if Kessler wins he will be though. I really want Calzaghe to fight the winnger.

Is that fight gonna be televised in the US I do want to see Kessler only have read posts and articles on him.......Along with Royals unconditional Love for him

HBO has bought the rights to this bout but they havent made an official announcement or for that matter any type of announcement that they will televise the bout.
But I mean if thet acquired the rights to it why wouldnt they televise it?
I don't see it announced on the HBO site anywhere
A bit confussing if one may add....

I think perhaps HBO is just using Kessler-Beyer as a kind of "buffer" depending on the duration of Calzaghe-Bika. Meaning if Calzaghe doesn't hurry up and finish his job fast, there'll be very little shown from the Kessler-Beyer fight. That could be the reason they aren't building it up..
Considering Kessler-Beyer is a unification fight it ought to be the other way around if you ask me.

Agreed, Kessler-Beyer is way more important and should be a much better fight than this joke Calzaghe-What's-his-name fight. Hopefully Joe does what he's supposed to do and finishes it within 5 or so.

Im not to sure about that, firstly Bika was looking good in the Beyer fight last time out before the cut ended the fight, also Beyer is like watching paint dry at the best of times, what i seen of this Bika he comes to fight,i know which one ill be tuning into if i had the choice of both, Cazlaghe is on another level to all three.
