    The judges will favor Judah there. Mathysse won the fight against Judah imo. Khan is the bigger 'star' in these JWW fights but people forget that he is still a foreigner fighting in America. The judges will probably still be on the side of the American.

    In the UK it will. Probably Primetime, again, as Sky aren't interested in showing a unification fight, but are very much 'on it' when it comes to a Domestic British/Commonwealth title fight.

    I can't blame them fully though. A lot of it comes down to TK burning bridges, but the man in charge (SS director or whatever you call it) needs to stop being sour and team Khan need to write an apology letter asap!

    It is a done deal. 50/50 split on US revenue.

    This fight is on regular HBO, it is not a PPV. You will see Khan as the main event and an undercard. That is probably it.

    Asif Vali is a ****, he has virtually ****ed up Khans career in the UK. Hopefully ITV pick up the fight.

    Given that SKY won't be putting this as a PPV event, It will most likely be on Primetime PPV.

    That doesn't matter. There isn't gonna be Cayo v Peterson and then Guerrero v tba and someone else on the undercard. It isn't going to be stacked like that.

    His management is bollocks, and they still haven't hired Ariza back. They're still 'working' on a contract with him.

    ITV would be brill. Great figures last time.

    He's going by what's been coming out of numerous sources, and by the looks of it, it does seem like Judah.

    Just like Khan/McCloskey was going to do?

    70K on a supposedly unknown channel is not bad at all (I think) for a guessed 5K at best buys, by the great Eddie Hearn.

    I think it could achieve 50K to be honest, at minimum. He did 900K on ITV for his fight with Malignaggi at 4AM. I don't see why he couldn't get 50K buys for a unification fight with a big name like Judah.

    i just basically coz of the time of the fight:good

    plus the McClosky fight had the irish angle and them numbers werent comfirmed.

    they'd have to drop the £15 asking price:think

    Hmmm It is a difficult one, they will go for PPV on Primetime, I am pretty certain of that.

    Whether it is the best move is difficult to say. They did between 50K and 70k at UK Primetime, making not a significant amount of profit over what SKY was prepared to offer for SS. The early hours of the morning changes things a lot.
