WTF - I pay to see these fights - Dear me - boxing is finished if this is how fans are treated - what are the promoters thinking

Schedule says its showing Berto-Estrada. The description on HBO on my cable for the fight says "Also Berto vs Estrada" . It's from 10:15-12:45 EST. So they are showing the undercard.

What does the description say on your cable or satellite boxes?

HBO sites says this:

Don't miss a power-packed doubleheader when World Championship Boxing presents Jermain Taylor vs. Kelly Pavlik & Andre Berto vs. David Estrada ([Only registered and activated users can see links]), Saturday at 10:15 pm ET/7:15 pm PT.

I don't know what to tell you. I am in Florida and it says its showing on both the Cable description AND HBO's site, which is worldwide and not region specific as far as I know.

Thanks kg. Upon closer inspection I see what you're saying. I saw the thread title and upon quick glance noticed it was different on the page and jumped a little quick. Yesterday it was different with Berto/ Estrada had it's own column.

There's too long a recording block on the cable box for there to be just one fight.

Berto will be seriously tested tonight.
Estrada is coming to win.

Should give us a good indication of where Berto stands among the welters.

Thanks KG. I was going by fightnews anyways haha.

Usually when they start after 10 its just the main event. Felt kinda pissed off that they would skip the Berto fight.

But fightnews is usually good about the tv fights. Maybe they made a mistake. I hope so.

There's not enough time to show that fight. If they showed that fight then they wouldn't be able to show the premier of the cinimatic masterpiece that is "Miami Vice"

HBO is giving you Taylor-Pavlik and Berto-Estrada for free, yet they are fuckers because they aren't showing Carlos Quintana vs some nobody? :patsch

They are not showing the fight for free. The last time I checked, HBO,via comcast, charged me on a monthly basis for the privledge of viewing their quality programming

I don't see how it's free.

We pay for an HBO sub, and HBO pays money to get these contracts to show the fights.

We ARE paying to see them. It's just HBO decides they don't want to air them.

The fights start in 2 hours and 5 minutes.

As far as a ******* I don't know. I think most of the people here are watching HBO.

You might wanna go find that link in the thread about ponce de leon. Someone left a sportsmania link there. Probably the best place to ask is on that website.
