    Trust everyone else, they really aren't! There is no clause anywhere that says the boxers involved in the biggest possible domestic fight must earn a minimum of £15m.

    All I mean is in comparison to haye v chisora or haye v Harrison at least there two world class exciting fighters in this fight, ppv is optional to everyone so you make up your own mind if it's value for money before you buy it

    I'd much rather pay ppv to watch froch v groves than khan v brook all day long

    Do you think they will have two PPV's within a couple of months of each other?

    Maybe so Billy, I just personally think that Khan Brook will be our biggest WW fight ever when it happens!

    It's already been said that the fight is at least a year away. A lot can change. If Khan beats Alexander (I believe so) I think it will be huge

    Haye vs Fury is a 100x bigger and Tyson is getting a couple million, no where near 10 never mind 15 million.

    :lol: at some of the responses on here. Could it be possible that the OP is pulling your legs with the $15-20 million comment? :nut

    The ppv argument is very interesting, what criteria should it be judged on?....titles at stake,whether you rate the boxers skills,nationality,do you like em as characters...past fights etc etc!!!!!With some of those in mind surely Carl and George is a good buy whereas some others might not be.I don't believe either of these lads will see more than one ,one point five mill and I am not convinced that some of these fights have to be ppv to meet the boxers fees....what about sponsorship,tv rights and ticket sales?

    Yeah, the no world title belts they'd be fighting for confirms your point.

    Belts are for holding your trousers up.

    Both are big big fights.
