    How about "BRITISH BANGERS AND MASH" ?
    Bri'ish fans will eat that up too, and much less chance it won't happen due to one of them testing positive on testosterone.
    That's clearly on Khan. He didn't want it, and was chasing paydays against Floyd and Pac.

    One guy has been ducking that fight, and one guy only.


    And not a particularly late one, either. A good boxer like Brook figures Khan out fairly early, and that can mean only one thing coupled with his size and strength. I wouldn't expect Khan to make it past the 8th.

    Yeah, I could see him hurt and holding on Maidana style for the last bell. Then I think Brook was cuter and heavier handed than Maidana. Should've happened that fight anyway

    The fight is years to late.But will still create a lot of interest and good money for both fighters.I think for Brook it's a good fight at this stage.Kahn isn't a big puncher,more respectable,and we all know about them whiskers.
    Every fight could be Brooks last with those eyes, so it makes sense to go for a big payday,without big risk.
    For Kahn,another ko loss and more in the pension pot.

    I agree, I've said for a long time they should have a rating system for PPV events and price them accordingly.

    Maybe a three tier system, A B and C, with A being most expensive, personally I would be happy with that.

    And I think more boxing fans would happily buy PPV events and not illegally stream them because they would feel they are not being taken advantage of.

    The only way this sells out a big venue is if the card has a couple of great supporting fights.

    I am not buying it unless there are a couple of fights I really want to watch on the bill, this would be of no real interest to me now.


    But we know what we are going to get.. Conor Benn, Whyte, O'Hara Davies and a couple of the young fighters like Josh Kelly.

    And we will be told "it's a stacked card and a grata night of boxing".

    Both guys are past their prime. Could still be an entertaining bout. No qualms with this (other than it should have happened already).
