You know how it goes. The main event doesn’t just waltz out at a precise minute. First, you’ve got seven undercard fights that will probably overrun or go to a sudden decision. Every single one will include a slow walkout song and a 12-minute staredown.
If the card starts at 7:00 PM on DAZN, you’re basically saying goodbye to your evening. That’s four to five hours of entertainment, bathroom breaks, and yelling at the TV. Honestly, block out the whole night. Cancel your plans. Embrace the chaos.
Why Can’t They Just Give Us a Time?
Oh, they do give you a time. It’s just a suggestion, a gentle nudge. Promoters want bums on seats for the whole show. If they said “ring walks at 10:30 PM,” half the crowd would show up at 10:35 PM. It’s a party, not a train schedule, apparently.
But here’s the bit that really gets me: time zones are a royal pain. The fight is happening in Saudi Arabia. They are two hours ahead of the UK. So 10 PM UK is midnight in Riyadh. Why does this matter? Because the whole event is tuned for the Saudi local crowd (and the massive US pay-per-view audience).
