    I would have been earlier on his career, but this has been coming for a while now. I imagine Oliver Harrison has spent the last day or so pissing himself laughing.

    Yeah, I am disappointed...the hype was tiresome and he'd said some cocky things but I wanted to see our Olympic silver medallist translate that to the pro ranks, and instead he's been found wanting.

    More disappointing but predictable is the usual crowd of vultures whenever a hyped fighter loses. It seems to be all some people live for sometimes, hopping from hype to hype and hoping for that schadenfreude fix.

    I don't blame the trainer or Warren though...the responsibility is Khan's, and unless he gets a hell of a lot better defensively he'll never reach the heights he wanted.

    Think that's about it.

    I wonder if Warren did this intentionally to get Khan's people to lower their demands and get him off Box Office.

    We dont know the PPV numbers yet though. They needed 250K buys to make money and judging by the British forum not a lot of people were interested in paying for a non world title fight.
    Frank knew it should be on regular TV but Khan's people are asking for shitloads of money Which left him no option but to go on Box Office.
    I will bet his next fight wont be 15 quid to watch.
