Finally, the action-packed weekend will close with former five-time world champion, former four-time heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield in the third fight of his comeback taking on rugged contender Vinny Madalone of Queens, New York.

There was much confusion surrounding the television rights for this fight as it was advertised to be broadcast on a special edition of Fox Sports’ "The Best Damn Sports Show Period" Other sources have said that the fight would only be available on select Comcast Cable systems across the country on regional Comcast channel CN8.

Holyfield-Madalone takes place at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas. Live televised action begins at 10pm with former world title challenger Calvin Brock in his first fight after losing in a title bid to current IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko.

An observation, it is blatantly unfair of promoters to schedule so many worth while fights within a forty-eight hour period. Even in today’s age of Internet television and such the aspect of a true hardcore fight fan without a major Cable outlet or a major satellite provider to watch all of these bouts is frankly impossible.

If you fans don’t have Tivo or an equal to Tivo Digital Video Recorder (DVR) you are unfortunately out of luck in order to see all of these fights as they happen. Yet another example of grandstanding by promoters trying to get the bulk of the audience. Only in Boxing…
