    Sorry but most brits are buying this to watch ODLH and Enzo just as much as they want to see Khan, if any one of these fights were on their own i doubt many, if any, would pay to watch. In my case, if i had to choose one to watch, it would be ODLH, then Enzo - as it is a world title fight and then Khan would be last.

    Oh yes without doubt.

    But they wouldn't have put Khan on ppv again (would they?:oops: ).

    Wasn't Khan's last fight PPV as well? Do you think people payed £15 to watch Alex Arthur, Nicky Cook or Audley Harrison? Sure, it's always a package, but Khan was the cherry that made people want to take a bite.

    Yes, they would, and this time it makes even more sense to do it...people want to see whether he's getting sparked AGAIN or whether he's got it in him to come back stronger!

    It would be a suicidal decision by SN.

    People would watch the free boxing on ITV.

    Khan isn't worthy of being on a PPV card let alone top one.I can't believe the Prescott fight was on Box Office.Turns out it was worth alot more than £15 to see that live

    for one not many people bought this at all, plus Khan was unbeaten and if he had won that fight a world title shot would have been very close, Nicky cook and Alex arthur was a descent british undercard aswell

    what were the figures for that fight though? cant imagine he shifted many...it was just as satisfying watching him get sparked on youtube

    The Khan bill would have been PPV either way, the Pac-Oscar fight is just a way of selling the whole package to the boxing crowd.

    If they'd put it against a free bill on ITV without DLH-PAC they'd struggle for 10,000 buys i reckon.

    Personally I'm quite looking forward to seeing/hearing how he does.

    *I'm not getting the PPV though*

    People will watch both, I think. I won't. I'll just watch the free stuff on ITV!:bart
