    That's good news for Khan.

    They know him vs Brook or Pacquiao does high ppv numbers.

    For all his flaws Khan is in good fights

    That's the one thing that can't be argued, win or lose, he's always in entertaining fights.

    Being fragile is now past of as entertaining
    British low level seen is full of them
    Egginton I expect the money and shots at workd level because he's exciting and he's fragile will now come to him





    Not going to happen
    Especially if he never re matched them

    Not sure what the record is but a random Khan fight even with favourable circumstances does strike me as an odd fight to break that record.

    It’s worth noting that Haye did millions on Dave and Channel 5 regularly draw over half a million viewers.

    It's subscription only. So not including Dave or Channel 5

    I don't like Khan at all. Pure delusional and undoubtedly afraid of Brook, thus depriving the fans of a huge all British showdown.

    However, I'm not surprised he does big numbers. He's obviously hugely popular with the Muslim community and has many fans outside of said community too. He's also very unpopular for the reasons I've stated in the first paragraph. Being unpopular is almost as good as being popular in boxing. Look at Floyd. People tune in to see them lose.

    In addition to this. His lightning quick hands are exciting but best of all for viewers, he has a glass chin. You can't take your eye off a Khan fight for a second. Keeps it exciting while it lasts.

    This was broadcast on two channels (Main Event/Action) so I suspect it’s the total audience from both of those added up. Add in the England game and the fact it was a one hour show on Main Event.

    When you think about the big nights on Sky Sports pre PPV (Bruno/Lewis and Bruno/McCall) and things like Joshua’s debut, also on Sky Sports, I find this all rather hard to believe.
