    Does this mean that every Khan fight will now be PPV?, according to Mr Warren, Khan is not ready for a world title tilt yet. So if this is the case, how many 'lambs to the slaughter' fights are there going to be on PPV before a world title bout? I hope this PPV is a one off. (not that i'm watching anyway out of principle) This fight is nothing special, but being billed as Khan Vs 'a big puncher'. It's a fight made for the general public bought into the Amir Khan circus.

    The Urango PPV also had Witter's first defence of his world title on another card starting at 10 if I remember correctly.

    So if 250,000 buy it at £15 a go that would make £3,750,000 plus if a gate of 10,000 turn up at an average of £100 per ticket then you have an income getting on for 5 million.

    Wonder who gets what slice of the pie?

    i don't think all his fights will be PPV as i understand it they will pick and chose the one's to put on PPV. this is PPV because its his first fight with sky, a very stupid intro.

    hammeds only sbo fight that wasnt title was the one after his loss to barrera.

    hatton vs castillo was on setanta. if u mean hatton vs lazcano then yeh.

    even though both wrong for ppv, at least hatton and hammed were fighting at world class level.

    khan/prescott is no different to hatton/lazcano, one could argue that khan/prescott is the more interesting and more pleasing on the boxing eye

    Neither was what I consider a value for money PPV but at least the Hatton fight had "occasion", 55,000 live gate, it was all over the press etc. This isn't in any papers, news programs etc, no one cares.

    I can't see this being a success, especially compared with other PPV's Sky have, um, offered.

    I hope this **** falls flat on its face.

    i'm not making excuses, i guarentee you this will be a better fight than hatton/lazcano which was a hugfest. like i said i'll probably end up buying it because its boxing and i look for it anyway i can get it, plus theres precious little of it on TV and i've spent 15 quid on worser things

    Add to that another £500,000 from advertising.

    i large percentage of ticket sales will go to the MEN, day 50% for hire and staffing. so thas £500k to them

    Khan will pocket a minimum of 1.5mil
    Arthur will pcket a minimum of 500k
    Cook a minimum of 150k
    Harrison 100k
    Paul Smith 50k

    all the other fighters 20k each (inluding prescott)

    a million from sky and sports network to promote the fight.

    500k on sanctioning fees to WBO and BBOC etc.

    thats 500k left. that goes to SKY and Sports Network.

    If PPV gets more than 250,000 buys then that will get split between SKY, Sports Network and Amir Khan.

    basically there not gonna get that many buys, so Sky and Warren will end up making a small amount of profit per fight.

    when i tell you that sky will take minimum of 5million profit per premier league game, that tells you this show has flop written all over it.

    100% this is a better card than Hatton vs Lazcano

    the main events, both non title - Khan is a better fight
    the title fight - malignaggi was a boring re-match, arthur vs cook is a reasonably evenly matched fight, and all british

    undercard

    smith and harrison beat hatton and jamie moore

    (looks like smith wont get shown, like moore)

    still both our bull**** cards.
