Between today and tomorrow, there will possibly be about 10 threads asking the same question, as there is for every fight in the US. (The mag 7 is going to be horrible).

Please post all here.

Any main event on a HBO PPV can't start before 4.30am.

East coast (MSG) is normally about 2.45 british time and west coast (Vegas) is anything from 3.15-4.00 usually for main event.

The Mayweather/Mosley fight never started until gone 4:30am, so it's anyone's guess.

I'd hazard a guess at about 4:15am BST.

The Groves fight will be shown on Sky, although it could well be a recording, not live.

Very little chance of that Gomez fella being shown. Only chance of seeing anything from him would be if every support fight finished within about 3 rounds.

This is one card when I don't care when the main event starts. The undercard is good so I'm just looking forward to taking in the whole broadcast.

It starts at 2, so should all the undercard fights go the distance it'll be 5ish. I doubt it starts before 4.30 either way.

Yep, I guess that is why they seem to have undercard fights that always, always go the distance so they haven't got much time to kill. Usually you get ringwalks around 4.30 with the fight actually starting about 4.45.
