    Yeah it's like McGregor making more in one boxing match than Khan Kell and Hattons careers combined
    More than furys ESPN contract to
    Gimmicks sell

    Boxing's fickle theses days

    The craziest thing is, Dib, who is coming out of retirement to take this fight, is actually an improvent on the guy Khan was originally meant to face. :lol:

    Dib has a 50% KO ratio at 126-30, the glass chinned one and his team are seriously selective these days about who their boy get's in the ring with, it's either a huge payday against someone Amir has no chance against or a feather fisted C- level fighter, no middle ground.

    Glenn McCrory is out in Saudi Arabia this week- he might be doing punditry for Channel 5.

    I’d hope he hasn’t gone for a weeks all inclusive.

    Not sure if Channel 5 will be out there or will just do presentation from London. Given the amount of money involved I’d hope they are out there.

    This card will almost certainly keep Mick going for many, many months.

    Just realised this is clashing with MTK Liverpool show with Murray, Jazza, Flanagan and Glover fighting. Which is also free to air on ESPN+ and IFL YouTube.

    Im looking forward to the Fury/Peter fight...haven't seen old Samuel fight for years, can't believe he is still fighting tbh!

    He must be beyond shot by now...but does his chin still hold up? Will Hughie KO him or will it be a UD...fancy sticking a few quid on this.

    Yes. I was looking to go but cheapest tickets are £40. Boxrec still says the likes of Glover and Maxwell are boxing TBAs. If half the fights are like that and it hasn’t sold out this close surely they should reduce them to £20 or something. To put it in perspective you’ll probably be able to get tickets for Campbell Lomachenko for £40 in a few weeks. Obviously it’d be a worse view but still.

    Either way I will be watching MTK show not the Kahn farce.

    Judging by the fight card this should be the whole card with a few episodes of Home & Away included.

    Confidence fight for Khan. Of interest, is this better or worse than Phil Lo Greco?
