Help: Calling US boxing fans

I know it's a bit of a cheek using a music forum for this but I don't know anywhere else to find really helpful people (creep creep).

I've booked the Naseem Hamed vs Barrera fight on satellite TV live from Las Vegas but can't find out what time the actual fight is on. The TV station maintains a conspiracy of silence as they somehow feel it will encourage/discourage sales if they disclose the fight time. My guess is about 10.00 p.m. local time which means sometime in the early hours of the morning in UK. And does anyone know how many hours Las Vegas is behind UK?

Why do I need to know? - because I'm sure to nod off and want to set my alarm to the appropriate time. So, anyone????

The HAMED-BARRERA pay-per-view telecast begins at 9 p.m. EST / 6 p.m. PDT (from a Google search......I personally had no clue)

Greewich Time is 5 hours later than Eastern Time (EDT) (US) and 9 hours later than Pacific Time (PDT). So, 9 PM in New York would be 2 AM at your house.....I think.
