Khan v Maidana Sky Sports or Box Office???

Not the most reliable source but on the Skybet page for the fight it says Box Office

 

I'd say it would be completely ******ed If Frank does that. Khan will bring the overall buys up a huge amount. Chissy vs Wald isn't a big seller to the public it will get attention but will it get him big buys I doubt it. Smith Vs Degale is the only undercard fight worthy of being on PPV on there as well which will get some interest. Khan will drag in a lot of casuals especially if the fight is marketed right by Sky (which I'm sure they will do)

 

I dont think Khan is PPV standard to the paying UK and Ireland fight fans no more. I honestly feel people felt with Khans early days fights being on Sky Box Office against some bums and washed up fighters his numbers dropped. No matter what people say a lot of those numbers he got would of been for the American fight latter that night not the Khan fight early doors.
The thing is Warrens card isnt PPV quailty either nor is the Klitschko v Del Boy fight. I think the only way SKY can do it is try and get a PPV out of the 3 events together. There will be a lot of interest in the heavyweight fight with Haye fighting Klitschko next year some time. So if Sky can get together with the Klitschkos to show that fight at 11 pm then have the Warren card start at 8 and show the best of that card then to Germany and the US it might sell on PPV either card on its own wont sell numbers for Sky.

 

:think

Khan is godly and the only fighter worth watching on ppv that night.

 

Put it this way when Khan fights people talk about boxing. When Chissy gets in the ring with Wald all the talking I'll do about this fight and its undercard will be on this site because no one outside of the fans will give a ****. Khan is a big name and will draw a heap more buys from the public.

 

ppv buys will go up because dodgy boxes are on the low now.

im planning to hit a shisha bar in bolton for the fight, the atmosphere is great and you can have a good laugh.

i can see khan sayin forget warren and having his own seperate PPV. if that happens then people will have to choose which one to go for and i think most people would buy the khan ppv because it should be a good fight, wheras wlad vs chisora is a miss match.

 

There is no way they will do seperate ppv's. Either they'll be on the same ppv or just the Chisora/Liverpool card, if you ask me.

Khan isn't the draw that some people seem to think he is. He had awful figures when he was first put on and while he has got bigger since then he'll be fighting in the wee hours of sunday morning.

 

So since when have Del boy and Chunky become big draws? If there was a choice between 2 ppv the majority of the paying public will choose to spend on Khan no doubt. After the shamble with the last heavyweight contest (haye/harrison) i think the public will be wary of another mismatch.

 

None of the Mag 7 were particularly big draws but that was PPV. This has still got Brook, Cleverly, Macklin plus Smith, Bellew and a heavyweight world title fight involving a Brit.

If Khan is such a big draw why did sky not pick up the Malignaggi fight?

 

If the Khan-Maidana fight is promoted by Sky the way the Mag 7 card was it will do huge numbers in my opinion way more than the Mag 7 card regardless of it being in the early hours.
