    According to their website, four total bouts will be shown starting at 8pm local time:

    Craig Watson vs. Lee Purdy

    Rendall Munroe vs. Andrei Isaeu

    Martin Murray vs. John Anderson Carvalho

    Amir Khan vs. Paul McCloskey


    All scheduled for 12 rounds.

    So Khan and McCloskey may not even be in the ring until about 11pm local time. :think It seems there is a very good chance of all three lead-in bouts going the entire distance; safe assumption?



    Also, no Gary Buckland? :| His is the only 12-rounder on the card not scheduled to air.

    Jamie Kavanagh's six-rounder will also be "in the dark".

    What a boring undercard. Why do Khan, Haye etc put on domestic undercards.

    If I'm going to see a domestic undercard, I want to see British/Commonwealth match ups, huge rivalries etc

    If any of the fights end early we might get to see the others. I doubt any of them will, though.

    Over here maybe but compared to America.. we got it good!

    A minute of Khan v Prescott, Alex Arthur v Nicky Cook and Fraudley v a Brazilian bum was probably even worse than this though and that was Khan's first PPV!

    5000-10000 buys. At £17.50 this is going to be getting absolutely massacred by X-factor, the rest will be out on the **** after the FA Cup

    This is the standard we'll be getting as long as Haye/Khan/Hatton are putting on PPV cards.

    No one can dish out a decent PPV now apart from Frank and that's only if he puts all his cards on the table.

    Even though it sounds silly, this fight really is terrible timing what with it being the same time as completely non-related crap things like Britain's Got Talent, it still takes away potential paying viewers.

    Then add on to that you've got Real v Barca, a Manchester derby FA Cup semi final and it's awful planning.
