    In fairness, it'll probably be sky's best PPV of the year. Khan will be competetive until he gets sensationally KO'd. Crawford is p4p no.2 for me, after Lomachenko.

    What PPV will sky do this year that's better? Joshua won't fight either Wilder or Fury IMO.

    It should be Pac vs Crawford with Khan vs Broner on the undercard, thats more like PPV.

    I don't think it's worth staying up for, we know who wins this. Even Brook vs Crawford would've been better, at least Brook has some KO power to change things. I'll watch the highlights thanks.

    Hearn states that Sky wouldn’t see this as a PPV fight at 4am.

    Also this would be a week after the Joshua fight so I have a feeling Khan/Top Rank would have to budge and put it on regular Sky. No way that Sky puts on two PPVs on consecutive weekends.

    Exactly or it gets distributed to someone else who will put it on PPV.

    It's such a interesting fight, you can flip that and say Khan has a great jab too and likes to control range Bud never faced a guy like Khan too..

    Khan been in bigger fights and Bud hasn't will this play a part too? .

    Bud Power at 147 still has question marks too it, This fight closer than many people think.. If Khan comes in top shape and brings his A game he could pull it off.

    I personally don't think Bud has KO power to KO Khan, and that could spell trouble Khan has the ability to out point Bud over the distance..

    Bud isn't really a big 147 fighter more a 140 sized fighter.. The real 147 fighters are Thurman Porter Garcia and Spence they are the 147 big boys .

    It will be interesting early on this one, but I see Khan getting outboxed, beaten to the punch and hurt en route to losing clearly.

    Sorry mate, even if my 10 year old son landed clean on Khan’s jaw he would wobble. On a serious note, Khan is very vulnerable, Crawford dismantles you but he is also a superb finisher. That finish on Benavidez Jn was awesome, and he beat up the far more durable Jeff Horn. He toyed with Indongo who is a big lad. The lad is awesome, P4P top 3. Khan in his prime vs Crawford would have been awesome (although same outcome).

    "I personally don't think Bud has KO power to KO Khan"

    That's got to be one of the most ridiculous statements I've read on here.

    Definitely, Crawford has stopped both of his opponents at 147, neither of whom had been stopped or even lost before, and now goes up against a top 3 P4P glass chin. There is only one logical outcome.

    Who has Brook hurt at world level? He doesn't have KO power against the top guys, only against the JoJo Dan's of the world!
