On five, straight Saturday afternoons - April 17 & 23, May 1, 8 & 15 - NBC and Telemundo will provide live coverage from the same Main Events-promoted boxing event. NBC-owned Telemundo -- the country's fastest-growing U.S. Spanish-language network -- will air a live, one-hour, fight broadcast in Spanish. NBC Sports, which returned to pro boxing last spring after an 11-year hiatus, will immediately follow the Telemundo show with a 90-minute broadcast from the same location & Main Events fight card .
