    They only do poorly if people don't have fans - which also goes for the casual thing.

    Both of these make the point I'm making - guys like Calzaghe and Hatton could sell PPVs at that time, but Khan can't.

    Continually we are told that Khan is a big money draw with fans and PPV numbers across the globe, that's obviously not the case.

    :good

    Kind of makes O$CAR look the FOOL... the way he's been hyping this fight, when Khan can't even get a British network to support showing it as a PPV.

    Khan isn't as popular as he thinks, but even if he was he still wouldn't be on PPV in the UK. As others have said, Sky are the only network that does PPV and they have an exclusive deal with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom which Khan is not signed to.

    Actually I think you'll find Sky made an offer for the fight, a flat offer with a % of the PPV buys going to Khan. Boxnation offered a higher flat fee, and Khans team decided to go with the more money that was guaranteed.

    If Sky weren't interested, why would they have sent Johnny Nelson and Adam Smith to America during the Khan Canelo press tour last month....

    Sky wanted it on PPV, but lost out to Box Nation. Khan clearly has a fan base, and it's a huge global fight.

    I think your post here has an agenda and is intentionally misleading.
