The promoter identifies Turhan's IBF lightweight championship as the main-event title. Baumgardner is moving up from super featherweight. The venue's October 13 update confirms the event date and four world-title bouts on the ESPN main card. Treat the broadcast start as the beginning of coverage, rather than an exact ring-walk time for the headline fight.
Find the correct ESPN listing
Search your DIRECTV guide for MVPW-07 or the fighters' names and select the November 8 ESPN entry. Compare the local time displayed with the Eastern time above. Open channel 206 before the event to check that your account receives it.
Our ESPN channel guide provides channel background. Service and package inclusion should be checked for the account you actually use, including whether you receive television by satellite or internet delivery.
Check the ESPN App separately
The promoter also announces the ESPN App as a viewing route. Search the live event listing, sign in to the correct account and verify its requirements before relying on app playback. Installing an app does not supply the subscription or authentication needed to watch.
If a service offers activation or a bundle, review its current eligibility and activation steps. This guide makes no universal claim that every DIRECTV plan includes a particular ESPN subscription. No package price, trial or unverified preliminary-card stream is quoted here.
Plan a recording
Select the specific live event and review recording options on your equipment. Check that the scheduled entry has the correct title, date and channel. Live boxing can run beyond a listed slot; review any available recording-extension setting. Storage and later access depend on the equipment and plan.
Check the current listing again before Sunday. Fight cards and running orders can change, and a television start does not fix the time of an individual bout. This guide does not promise an on-demand copy or a specific replay window.
Before changing service
Review the channels, recurring charges, equipment and cancellation terms for the offer you select. For live-TV help, compare DIRECTV options at your address or call American TV at 1-855-690-9884. Confirm address and account eligibility before ordering.
