    i have a weird feeling "CON" is going to be exposed once again,this time by a guy with no power,so he'll be officially exposed

    Sounds good, I doubt it will happen though theres to much money to be made on PPV.

    Good stuff, great to see it on regular tv.

    This part is bull**** though.

    "He likes the idea of fighting in front of a wider audience on terrestrial TV rather than just a select band on Sky Box Office."

    Greedy Kunt went straight on PPV at the first chance, and then bitches because he hasn't got as big a following.

    i will be shocked if this is true

    could make a good business decision for the future tho, this way like 10-15m will watch the fight to increase his rep

    IF this is true, and that's a big if (note the capital letters), this will really **** up Sky's ppv plans.
    No matter how mouthwatering Mitchell/Katsidis is, it's still not ppv worthy.

    The idea is to get Khan to get the general public interested in him, so they buy into his future fights.

    It's probally an attempt to keep his fan base alive. I can't imagine many people are going to cross the pond to watch him fight.

    This fight will suck, dont watch it. khan will just cruise to a boring ud wasting everyones time and money. The only time ill ever watch a khan fight is if he fights a big puncher so i can enjoy seeing him ktfo in front of millions.

    1am start. Not a chance!!!

    What benefit is there to ITV. The ratings wont be v good in the early hours. Khan probably dont wanna do PPV as his PPV ratings have sucked big time!! Guy hasnt even done 50,000 buys has he?

    Khan should of stayed on sky sports and built himself up and then his first fight in the US could of been on PPV. They totally went about it the wrong way.

    He'll do better ratings on ITV at 1am than he would on Box Office at 1am :yep

    I think ITV should then replay the fight at like 11am on Sunday morning as well. They'd get good figures for that.
