    Presuming Khans management grow some and decide to fight a proven puncher for a title next would you pay for it PPV?

    For the record I would... :think

    PS - I am ware that there is no chance of this happening.

    Hell no.

    Call me crazy but...I think we should only have to pay for well established, world class stars, fighting for serious honours.

    This fight should never be ppv but it is a fight I would love to see. Thaxton by KO 33 seconds.

    Khan getting starched for free on "internet radio" was about as good as it gets. There's no need to part with any money to watch Khan any more.

    yes "hearing" khan get starched on "internet radio" was grand. i'd definitely be tuning in to "internet radio" if his next fight is ppv.

    the only way i'd pay for a khan fight is if it was on the undercard of a genuine world class championship fight. as warren does not have any genuine world class fighters in his stable, this is pretty unlikely.

    Rather pay to watch John Thaxton VS John Murray great fight which you would get your moneys worth.
    Thaxton and Murray should not give Khan the time of day both have major belts and both were denied a fight by amirs camp thinking they were not good enough.
    Shoe on the other foot now and its Khan who needs them tell Khan to go to columbia and avange his defeat first.

    I probably would as my mates would chip in with me so it's a no brainer really.

    Does anyone know whether the next Khan fight is PPV because it was in the sky contract? Because if it is PPV then they will have to get somebody at least on Thaxton's level (higher really) to justify it.

    do you think they'll need to justify the opponent to make it ppv? especially if there are two "world" title fights on the same bill.

    all indications are that the opponent will be gethin, unless warren manages to pull out another unknown overseas opponent (ensuring that he is not recommended by rubio!)

    Who is going to be on the same bill then? Or is this going to be on the same night as DLH v Pac?

    to think that Khan had moved past the likes of Thaxton and that he was below his level now - what a load of hype.

    Thaxton is a solid pro - European level fighter - and Khan was shown as a amatuerish boy.

    Lets not forget the arrgoance and disdain that Khan was writing off solid pros who had been on the scene for years and felt that he did not need to prove himself against the likes of Thaxton because he was so obviously above his level

    Khan truley got his Karma

    To answer the question - no way do I pay for any fight these days - not unless it is a big one - like the last one I paid for was

    Mayweather V Hatton

    I would have paid for Calzaghe and Kelseer and Enzo V Haye but they were free

    No way am I paying for a hype job like Khan

    Depends what I'm doing that night I suppose.

    I stayed in the night of the Prescott fight, Girlfriend fell asleep so I bought it - if I was out I wouldn't have.

    In all honesty £15 is only 5 pints these days, not gonna break the bank.
