    Good news:good

    Hopefully the twats who organised and televised the card will learn from this experience.

    49000 x £15 = £735,000. Warren was hoping for £3m-£4m so he's well short. Although I'm no fan of Warren I blame Khan's greedy 'hangers on' for insisting the fight was on PPV

    Sounds like Frank got doubly stung that night.
    Fantastic.

    Funny thing is Sports Network probably ruined any future PPV shows by doing this.

    God bless Sports Network.

    Some good has finally come from their evil doings.

    I'd never watched a stream before that fight and I was finally convinced to check one out the following week... No more PPv for me unless its actually worth paying for.... And no Frank that doesn't mean Khan-Prescott 2 for the vacant WBU title.

    Jeff has bigger fish to fry.

    Why give Khan the pay-day; he has to prove himself first.

    Yeah, the quality of streams has gotten really good of late.

    I had 10 places to watch it on the night and most of them were not bad at all !

    £735,000. They probably spent double that on the shitty advert alone.

    Epic fail.

    Glad to hear it failed. Khan's coverage dropped from 5mil to 49k. Awful.

    It's sweet that the highlights that mainstream fans got to see were pretty much the length of the fight.

    It backfired totally. I'm very happy.

    Hatton/Mayweather did somewhere close to a million buys if I remember correctly.
