    Channel 5 is that right?

    I am in all honesty surprised with the Chisora Vs. Fury and Khan Vs. Judah fights this didn't make it as Sky Box Office show.

    Anywho £15 in my arse pocket as I won't be buying from primetime for the Khan fight.

    well i look at it this way ,its obv they want to test the water with this fight ...but if there not prepared to show an undercard fight then its obvious there not giving it a fair stab ,so if the figures aint that good they wont show boxing again

    I was hoping for the ITV4 style. Seeing each undercard fight one by one in the build up to the main event

    90 minutes is enough time for 2 fights.

    I reckon it will just be build up, the fight, then the Theophane fight replayed if it finishes early.

    Maybe they'll show a taped undercard fight.

    Have they had any head to head press conferences yet? These two are good value, they've both grown on me.

    To be honest I'm just glad it's showing something. Maybe in time they'll be more confident in showing undercards,
