    It's a good fight, no one is disputing that but PPV at that time should be reserved for "fights of the century's" only.

    That would fit into domestic top tier. And it was proven in the numbers. Destroyed Frampton Warrington for example.

    The only PPV they tend to do overnight are for the really big fights. Khan against Alexander for example wasn't PPV. See also Wilder Ortiz, Garcia Broner, DeGale Jack, Frampton Santa Cruz II. Big enough fights but they're never going to put them on PPV as being on overnight is such a big ratings killer that you can only work around if you're as popular as someone like Joshua or Hatton.

    Or domestic top tier.

    You saying a card with Brook headlining, Joshua on the undercard and both Selby and Mitchell in competitive world title fights on the undercard isn't up there for domestic events in this country?

    Imo a huge reason the sky PPVs beat other platforms is precisely that
    The platform

    Sky have mastered the knack of luring your casual fan in which is essential
    BT tbh are miles away

    But its early days in comparison
    Sky considered putting it on but someone hit the nail on the head ealier
    They don't want to add this to 2019s PPV list
    And I doubt they fancied giving Khan and extra money after he messed them about

    BT have to take what ever else is out there until or if they ever get a stable of PPV fighters under contract

    BT must be licking their lips after that comeback by Man Utd - anyway my point is Eddie took another BIG L, also I think the AJ fight BOMBS hard. People on that day will want to watch the Champions League Final and go to bed (UK people)

    Crawford is p4p no.2 for me, pushing Lomachenko for the no.1 spot. An absolute joy to watch. I think this will be a brilliant fight until Khan gets brutally KO'd.

    And what happens if it goes the distance?

    Crawfords naturally smaller guy and not known to have 1 punch KO power, Fight goes the distance Khan is fav to win then.

    My ten year old son would spark Khan if he caught him clean. Honestly.

    I don't think there's a significant size difference between them.

    We will. We'll also see Khan KOd. It's near enough a certainty.

    The state of BT desperately trying to scrape the crumbs from PPV pie.
