    In the current climate, would Warren ever put on a show this bad?

    And they did pull Katisdis-Mitchell from SBO when a deal with Khan couldn't be made, and the second date for Klitschko-Chisora was Sky Sports.

    Khan v ***an
    Maccarinelli v Ellis
    Harrison v Rogan

    That PPV was a shocker, worse than this one would have been.

    Fair enough, but was responding to the statement that Warren would never put on a PPV as bad as the proposed Khan-McCloskey one.

    That card would have been shoved on PPV regardless if DLH-Pac was happening on that night or not. :yep

    Khan v Prescott
    Arthur v Cook
    Harrison v tubby Brazilian

    Not much difference from what this PPV would have been really, Warren and his Khan PPVs were no better than what was being offered for the Khan v McCloskey card.

    Who cares, they made the right decision. I said the other day this PPV was BS like most of Khan's PPV's. Finally Sky are showing some quality control. Can only be good for British boxing, and especially the fans of British boxing.

    Yeah, I only paid for Khan-***an cos we were getting Pac-DLH.

    Khan/Kotelnik was decent...
    Small/Hall
    Enzo/Lebedev
    Brook/Lomax

    But they never showed the Brook fight :patsch

    Khan Barrera was better..
    Hall/Pryce
    Enzo/Ola
    Cook/Martinez

    Yeah I no u can sky plus a PPV, but I'm sure I watched it in my bedroom whereas I only have sky plus in the living room. Perhaps im thinking of something else. I must have been thinking primarily of Pac - Oscar rather than the beast that is ***an!!
