    Lots. Why would anyone have paid for it this time?

    If the idiots didn't learn before this fight, not much will change after it.

    If he fights Bradley it's different... Haye vs Harrison sucked, but how many are going to be put off by that and not going to try and watch Haye vs Wlad.

    Remember that PPV sales are not only halved 50% but also the production cost is also deducted off the top.All in all it is a pretty **** poor result for a supposed "super star".

    60,000 is probably about accurate. Better than expected, however it's a sad state of affairs when this many PPV buys is considered acceptable or a success.

    I don't understand why TK and GBP keep up this insistance on "Khan is a PPV star, it's where he belongs", there is only 1 fighter in the UK who is a out right PPV level fighter and that is Haye.

    Khan and Froch are a long way off, that's not to say that with a good card and an event built around it that it can't become PPV, but on their own not a chance at the moment unless the opponent is a big name

    :deal

    60/70k buys is better then any of us thought it would do but there is no way that an extra £2/300,000 is worth ruining relations with the biggest most powerful Sport Broadcaster in the UK. In the long run if Sky do not show Khan they will eventually lose far above what they made from moving this fight to Primetime.

    Re: Daily Mail: Primetime 70K buys for Khan
    Warren's column quotes 60,000 PPV buys for Khan-McCloskey and interesting reveals that this is three times more than Primetime got for Froch fights."----------------------------------Some on here are claiming that people won't pay for the Bradley fight if it's at 4am, but If people pay to watch khan fight mccloskey knowing before the fight it would almost certainly be 1 sided and the chances of a mccloskey victory was almost non existent I think then they will pay through their a*se for Bradley vs khan even if it is at 4am. For khan vs mccloskey to get 3 times as much as a froch vs Abraham or Kessler is unbelievable and just shows why he left fat Mick!!
