Does anyone know if the November 14th fights are being shown on UK TV.

I would pay box office to see this one.

No tv coverage has been announced - its on the 13th by the way.
I would quite like to see it.

If SKY do show it, we want find out untill the last minute I imagine as SKY seem to like to do last minute deals on these sort of shows.

I would pay for this as well. A lot of people will see it as a snooze-fest but I reckon it would be easily worth the money.

Just think.... those fighters current level that they fight at, would have amounted to nothing more than an easy two-year stroll of defences for a peak Mike Tyson.

One aspect you can't ignore is that due to the state of mediocrity the heavyweight division is in, at least the guys are fighting each other. Yes they may not be great champions or challengers, but from a matchmaking point of view, there's no clear-cut winner in any of the matches involving the guys above, which at least adds a level of intrigue to an otherwise, less-than mouthwatering line-up.

I find it quite sad to see Holyfield in there. Ten years ago, he could have walked through them all in one night, now it might be tough to argue a case for him winning against any of the others in that picture (aside from the bloke in the middle, of course).

If they dont show this then its time to apply for a green card because in a few years time boxing coverage over here will be so bad.

I wanna live in America ^^

No way those bums at Sky show this bill. Even if it's the world's most exciting fighter - Tito - they give it a miss as it's King. Then pretend it never happened. ( meanwhile viewers, let's update you on more, exciting WBU news..)

What's the odds every one of the above fights goes the distance? Looks a cert.

Just about all of those guys look sluggish after a 1 round. I think I'd find it hard to get excited about any of those matches.

Klitschko v Williams - now that's another story. That is such a big fight.

Agreed, that looks bombs away I reckon. Always the chance Golota will provide a few highlights, as he goes apeshit yet again, nuts Ruiz in the balls and throws the ref out the ring :TU:
