Do Showtime screen Hatton's fight 'live'

Ricky Hatton faces arguably his toughest opponent to date next month in Ben "Wonder" Tackie. Showtime, the American-TV giant, has screened several of Hatton's fights in the past and will be televising this one for sure. I wanted to know if his fights are screened on a 'delayed' basis in the States, or 'live'.
Hope you can help.

delayed bennie,

no one wants to watch fights at 4/5 pm in america, so its shown around 10pm american time,

remember the HBO demand that tyson - douglas must be shown live so they fought in the morning in Japan,
