What Will Sky Box Office Give Us For Our £15

    I'm starting to consider dipping into my pocket and buying the Khan v Barrera fight tonight rather than watch it on a stream.

    However the thing that's putting me off is the last time I paid for an event: Khan v Prescott. After the fight ended in a minute, they showed a few replays, had a couple of interviews then said they were out of time and that was it, despite the fact there was about 60-90 minutes left on the show. There was plenty of time to show some of the undercard but all we got was three fights in total I believe.

    If all we're gonna get is Khan v Barrera, Enzo and Cook I'll give it a miss. If they give us a few undercard fights (time permitting off course) I'll probably give it a go.

    Any ideas?

    It's a better card than last time. I mean its not exactly deserving but look at it this way...

    Khan vs. ***an / Khan vs. Barrera
    Maccarinelli vs. Ellis / Maccarinelli vs. Afolbai
    Harrison vs. Rogan / Cook vs. Martinez
    M'baye vs. Jones / Pryce vs. Hall

    All of tonights are significantly upgraded IMO. Top of the bill has people completely split. Afolabi is supposed to awkward...Ellis was fat. Harrison vs Rogan was a freakshow, Cook vs Martinez is a decent and 50/50 scrap. M'baye vs Jones was a boring robbery, Pryce vs. Hall is a truely excellent clash of styles.

    I agree its a lot better than the last 2 Khan PPV offerings but also it would be nice that if any the fights finished early they showed atleast maybe highlights over the undercard. Especially keeon on seeing Pryce/Hall.

    have they confirmed what fights are being shown and will they be live, or just Khan live and the rest repeats? 15 quid man, thats a bottle of vodka right there
