    Pathetic even for Sky and their usual hype up of events.
    Khan is joining the legends :shock: :lol:

    What a suprise. :p Glad i havent seen it tbh, Id probably want to hurl the closet thing at the tv if I did!

    Does it count boycotting PPV if you actually go to the fight??? :oops: Im not interested in the Amir fight just the undercard.

    And I know all the fights wont be on PPV anyway. Looking forward to seeing Stephen Smith have his first fight plus all the others.

    You could walk out right as the Khan fight is about to start :lol: ;)
    I want to see the Arthur v Cook fight so will probably try and find a stream.
    I'm definitely not paying for it anyway.
    I expect the fight will at least sell out anyway surely?

    Considering most are expecting PPV figures to be very poor it will be a disaster if it doesn't sellout aswell :think

    it doesn't even mention the joint top-of-the-bill arthur - cook.

    no matter what sky mean by the advert, non-boxing fans are going to see this trailer and think khan is as good as tyson. :roll:

    Give people some credit, I don't follow cricket but if Sky started telling me that Paul Collingwood was as good as Don Bradman then I'd know they were lying...;O)

    I saw it yesterday and was shocked. The ad started and I was like "WTF?!..." Complete bull****, surely people aren't going to swallow this 'Khan joins the legends' crap. No mention of his opponent or the Arthur-Cook fight as well.
