    It hasn't been that widely reported, but I read in a newspaper column, that Amir Khan's TV company dropped his fight from PPV, with only a weeks notice, as it had only sold 50 (yes FIFTY)....................

    That's amazing. I think fans take for granted guys like Mayweather and Pacquiao, who'd do half a million, even if the guy was a club fighter

    It was in the Daily Mail. UK newspaper.

    Can't remember who the columnist is called.

    It was the right move from a business point of view. Primetime have confirmed 50,000 purchases and this doesnt include viewers using virgin

    El Classico wasn't a great match but on viewing the fight I made the right choice, complete wank.

    I did something else rather than watch either. I win.
