Good news if you're a boxing fan hoping to watch Gennady Golovkin's defense of his WBA middleweight title against Osumanu Adama on Saturday in Monte Carlo, Monaco.
The fight will be televised.
It's going to be on SuperSport in Africa and Esporte Inerativo in Brazil. You can catch it on CCTV in China, Channel One in Russia and Box Nation in the U.K. It will also be available on Wowow in Japan as well as in Australia, the Baltic states, the Czech Republic, France, Belgium, Germany, Hungary, Indonesia, Latin America, the Middle East, Poland, Scandinavia, Slovakia, Spain and Ukraine.
There are more, but you get the picture: The fight is going to be broadcast around the world.
Golovkin has become one of the world's most exciting and popular fighters over the last two years, and his bouts are quickly becoming like holidays to be celebrated.
There will be no celebrating in the U.S., however, because that's one place where the bout won't be televised.
HBO Sports executives, who have witnessed Golovkin's stunningly swift rise to stardom first-hand, tried to work a deal with Rodney Berman, the show's promoter in Monte Carlo.
After a lot of back and forth, however, a suitable deal couldn't be reached and the fight won't be shown in the U.S.

I disagree with that. I think that's honestly one of the easiest things to learn in martial arts. Granted, I've never fought anyone at the elite MMA level but typically you can tell when a kick is coming and can either check it or jump out of range. Especially for someone with Floyd's ring experience. I'm not disagreeing that he couldn't be kicked, but to say he wouldn't be able to walk after the first minute seems like a pretty big stretch in my opinion.
Garcia vs Gamboa: Let the negotiations begin!
By Kevin Davis
Mikey Garcia is the young rising star of Top Rank Promotions, and in a bout a year hopes to be their next big PPV star. Standing in his way is the always ready Yuriorkis Gamboa, who is backed by newly promoter and superstar rapper, Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson. Gamboa is undefeated and was once feud as the most dangerous lightweight in the world. Due to his large absence and inactivity, from promotional issues, he has lost some of his luster.
Meanwhile back in Oxnard Ca. Mikey Garcia is collectively piling up victories and is reaching for greatness, that once belonged to Gamboa. This is the type of mega event that could shoot the other one to mega stardom and all we want to know is when and where, because we will not miss this event.
