    Dont know about you, but I'd consider the whole betting thing pretty disrespectful towards Audley.

    So it's okay to disrespect opponents then duck them, go into hiding and fight Audley. Makes sense.

    Your not forced to pay for the fight, Amir Khan is a PPV fighter thats what a PPV fight costs. If sky want to **** him for a cool mil he has to do what he has to do. A world champ has operational costs, these need to be paid

    McCloskey's camp and the Hearns were totally in the right, it was a joke decision.

    Khan and his team have come across bad post fight including in this video, and i hate the Khan hangers on, put me off supporting him at times.

    Even if he did have a bet, which if I'm not mistaken he said he was joking about afterwards, do you not consider it to be in bad taste that he would announce it in front of all those people who tuned in and who were in attendance that he could've knocked this guy out literally whenever he pleased, and that he did, because he had money on it? If you cant see that, you're completely blinkered mate.

    And I didn't :good

    Additionally I wont be buying his cards unless they are of a decent quality which they won't be unless he is forced to merge his card with another but now that he isn't with Sky the chances of that happening are far lower.

    He isn't a PPV fighter that much is clear, it isn't exactly the best kept secret in Boxing that Amir's PPV sales figures have stunk hence why Sky have rejected the opportunity to put him on Box Office not once but twice, when they decided to not pick up his fight with Paulie.

    Sure Sky taking it off Box Office so close to the fight was inconvenient but Khan has an opportunity to get massive exposure before his big fight with Tim Bradley and sure he would take a knock but he could take is thanks to the great purses he has made throughout his career, so it should be an obvious decision, why risk his relationship with the biggest Sport Broadcaster in the United Kingdom to move to a tiny PPV outlet just so he could make a few extra £k for one fight, crazy absolutely crazy and completely incompetent.

    So to answer your question, no I won't be paying for his fights and I'm sure many will join me.

    Well it's a good job we don't, then.

    I, for one, was really pissed off the see it stopped the way it was. Khan was winning all 6 rounds easily and appeared to be finding the target more and more. The stoppage didn't do Khan any favours what so ever.

    That's never stopped Khan fans slating Bradley for the very same thing.

    You have to be bold, there's a method behind the "madness" ;)

    Picking a bone over bull**** issues, this and that shows the mentality of a loser. I don't particularly like Paul's mug or his out of shape body being on display in the boxing ring, but do I make a point of it

    But facts are facts, he's garbage, he talks garbage and is delusional, good night

    Obviously not, watching boxing is a biannual event for me.
