What time would you like main events to start?

It will likely be after 2300 when Fury and Chisora get going tonight. Disregarding any international responsibilities the promoter may have to consider, what time would you like main events to start (as a television viewer)?

It wasn't listed because I'm a mong. I'll correct.

22:00 is the perfect time for a main event imo.

I'd say 10:30pm. Tonights however will be between 11:15pm and 11:30pm. I think BJS vs Eubank will start around 10:30pm.

10pm - the Germans always get it right (even though its 11pm over there!)

For this show I would say Saunders/Eubank at 9 and Fury/Chisora at 10

21:30 or 22:00 though there are a few other factors to it.

Could be getting Fury v Chisora at gone midnight the way the fights are going which is far too late

Don't mind them being late, usually something to stay up for later so it makes the gap between a bit smaller, probably be a bit different if I was in the arena though.

I'm being selfish. I need to go out at 0100 at the latest I'd like to get an hour or so kip before that, which now won't happen.

i wonder why these main events are on so late 22.00 would be ideal.

The earlier the better if I'm attending. If I'm watching at home with a tray of cans, the later the better.

it should be across the board Sky Sports, allegedly and C5, unless there is a fight for international tv, 10pm should be the domestic fight start time.
4 fight main card starts at 8pm, Main Event at 10pm.

Tonight has been far, far too late.

Don't get me wrong, I've stayed up much later to watch Pacquaio, Mayweather & Cotto fights, but this really is disgusting for a British fight.

If it's in London like tonight the main event should be scheduled so people can get the last tube even if it goes the distance. I wonder how many people will have been put off attending boxing in London by the travel chaos at the end.

jameswilson · Post by **jameswilson** » 30 Nov 2014, 04:29

I think promoters aim to have the main events starting between 10 and 11 in most cases. As we've seen the last few weeks things happen and they sometimes get put back.

Ian1973 · Post by **Ian1973** » 30 Nov 2014, 04:32

Late as possible for me as I work nights.

Sensible answer though is make sure fights are finished in time for last bus / train /tube home.

On the BBC it said the venue was full but that many people had to leave(it said about half had left) before the main event due to having to catch trains and stuff. Pretty disgraceful really.

It's 2014. To be honest it's pretty ridiculous and someone needs to sort this sort of thing out.

You thinknow it's disgraceful fit have to leave early to get a tube? Have a word with yourself mate folk maybe canned afford the taxi prices as an alternative

11 is the latest.

The thing with FW shows he is doing less and has a decent sized stable the last cards he has done have been packed starting between 4-5pm.

Doesn't help fights going the distance.

Glass Joe · Post by **Glass Joe** » 30 Nov 2014, 06:03

Typical big warren show, loaded card and they all pretty much go the distance, last night i would of put Sykes fight and the Lewis fight on after the fury fight.

The show shouldn't have gone on so long, but I do find it ridiculous that the Tube stops running, in a city like London, surely it should be running 24/7?
