For viewers who live in the Knicks or Rockets markets, there are two different ways you can watch a legal live stream of the game: Fubo and DirecTV Stream. The latter includes MSG and Space City Home Network in local markets as part of the “Choice” package, and it also comes with a free trial.

For out-of-market viewers, you’re going to need NBA League Pass, which is available through Fubo, DirecTV Stream, YouTube TV or Amazon Prime Channels, all of which come with their own free trial.

How to watch Gervonta Davis vs Frank Martin live stream: PPV cost, time, and more

Gervonta "Tank" Davis (29-0, 27 KOs) is making his long awaited return to the ring this weekend. In June of 2023 he got a decisive win over Ryan Garcia in the highest-selling PPV event since Mayweather-McGregor. Garcia took a knee after a crippling liver shot and couldn't beat the count. Davis has since spent a short stint in prison, which calls into question his readiness for the fight. Frank Martin (18-0, 12 KOs) is undefeated and may try to take advantage of Davis' long layoff.

The co-feature fight sees David Benavidez (28-0, 24 KOs), the undefeated super middleweight who has long sought a fight with Canelo Alvarez, step up to the light heavyweight division and challenge Oleksandr Gvozdyk (20-1, 16 KOs) for the WBC Interim belt. Gvozdyk's only defeat was to Artur Beterbiev, another potential opponent for Benavidez if he wins tonight and decides to stay in the light heavyweight division.
