The main event—the actual Jake Paul fight—usually starts somewhere between 11:00 PM ET and midnight ET on a Saturday. I know. That’s late. It’s when your bedtime, your second glass of melatonin, and your dignity are all waving at you from the couch.
But here’s the kicker: the stream starts way earlier, like 7 PM or 8 PM ET. You will have to sit through six hours of undercard fights featuring guys whose Wikipedia pages are just a single sentence. It’s like the appetizer platter from hell—but you keep eating because you’re waiting for the steak.
Why Is It Always So Late?
Great question! The answer is money. Jake Paul fights usually happen on the East Coast of the USA, but they want to hit the prime viewing hours in the UK. And because the UK is five hours ahead, a midnight start in New York feels like a civilized 5 AM in London. You’re welcome, Brits.
Also, boxing promoters believe that the longer you wait, the more desperate you get. By 1 AM, you’ll be emotionally invested enough to buy a $9 pay-per-view just to see if the fight actually happens or if it gets canceled because someone ate a bad hot dog backstage. It’s genius, really.
