    Can we now stop pretending that Khan is a megastar the world over?

    The fight will be shown on Boxnation in the same manner that every other fight staged in the US is.

    How often do they have US fights on PPV anyway? The fight starts like 3AM in the UK.

    They had Hatton and Calzaghe fights on PPV - because they were actually guys who had fan-bases.

    I don't think it's a bad thing it's not on PPV - I'd prefer it if not fights were on PPV - but something about how Khan seems to be viewed as a worldwide star irks me.

    Pac v Mayweather is the only PPV fight in recent memory that didn't involve a Brit.

    The fight is in the US, meaning the card will start around 3AM in UK.
    When have they ever done 3AM ppv´s?

    I watched pacquaio fights on non ppv in the uk as well.
    they probably realised the ppvs would do poorly at 6am!!

    You need casuals for a successful PPV. You won't get casuals tune in for a fight that starts like 4AM in the morning.

    Lucky Brits. I would gladly watch this fight, I just won't pay to watch it.
