    Apparently the reason that khan is on PPV is that he has also signed a deal with the BBC to show his fights a few days after its aired on Box-office this way SN make PPV revenue while still gettin terestrial exposure for AK

    I think they're gonna get a fright when practically no one pays to see it, well, certainly not the amount of viewers they are expecting.

    has there ever been another fighter in the history of PPV that has headlined an event with less than 20 fights to his name who only holds a domestic belt and is nowhere near world class

    i don't have concrite evidence, but i'm not nieve enug to believe that khan with just 18 pro fights has gone on PPV and thats it. there has to be more behind it and i've just heard some rumours, anyway cut me some slack i was the first to tell people about khan's sky deal

    hatton/mayweather was on BBC2 a WEEK later on a sunday morning after sky had had their way with it and analysted it from every angle. I was thinking a couple of days later on a more suitable time

    I must admit I think it's a disgrace that this fight is going PPV - It's bloody madness.....

    Will Joe Public be fooled though; and actually start to fork out for this fight...... I hope not!

    Is this really true? If it is I doubt Warren will reveal the details before the fight. As soon as people find out it's going to be on the BBC a few days later they won't buy the fight.

    I doubt Khan-Prescott is a big enough fight for the BBC to bother with highlights. I mean they didn't show highlights of Hatton-Lazcano.
