    Per Eddie Hearn

    Would like to see Adam Smiths reaction to this, surely won't be happy.

    Why. Top rank want it on PPV. This is not a PPV fight at 4am

    If sky wanted it on PPV then Adam Smith would have sanctioned it.

    That would be a hell of a show on regular Sky

    Have to give it a solid A tbh 8+/10

    They need more shows of that quality on regular sky

    Browne vs Allen is a good fight, loser leaves the sport. I like it
    Chisora will fight someone decent he's headlining and wants $$$
    Josh Kelly is good value

    By the usual standards this is actually quality IMO

    They really are overestimating Khan’s drawing power here- I doubt BT would take a punt on this fight so it’ll probably end up on ITV Box Office.

    I can’t believe expectations have fallen this low.

    What was the last top level non ppv card. I'm not sure i can remember many better in the time i've been watching ( if chisora gets a top ten type fight)

    ITV PPV for the Khan fight at 4am.

    I'll be doing a Khan and be flat out snoring instead.

    ITV box office would only go near this if they think they can feed kahan to young CHRIS down the line

    Don't think this fight sells that well
    The only pulling power Khan as is on Skype
    He ain't no ppv star i m afraid
    eddie been filling his recent cards with local ish fighters that bring fans
    to make up for the lack of pulling power he ain't got
    it's over man it's over
