That's what I read, but that makes it 8 o'clock for the Americans, seems early for them.

Remember Vegas & LA are three hours behind New York, so 8pm is the latest you can put on a main event there as anything after 11pm eastern time would be considered too late.

Why are there always these posts asking what time the fight will be on when it comes to a major Vegas show??

They are always around 4am for the main event with a maximum swing of half an hour either way.

I'm sorry for posting that Terry. Could have sworn I've waited up later than that before, I just wanted to know what time the Hatton fight would start.

Not sure how I will do it - I will be drinking lager from about 10pm and the trouble is by 1am I will really getting the taste for it - The last all night stint I did, I had a walk in the garden at 3am to clear my head.

I will be at it all night with 20 or so mates at a private party in a local boozer - I expect to finish up at around 7am and feel like 5hite until Wednesday or so.

Still, not every day that a fight this big comes around

You are so so right - This is a peice of boxing history in the making and if Hatton wins feeling like shit until Wednesday will be worth it.

Same here, we've managed to get the local boozer to buy the fight & let us watch it, think i'll start about 7pm tonight & end up staggering home bout 5am

That means It will be on at 8pm which sounds early for a main event.

As said above - Vegas/West Coast fights are rarely on after 8pm local time as anything later than 11pm is considered too late for the East Coast. There is a three hour time difference over there.
