    Can someone tell me if this fight will be aired in the U.S live? as I will be on holiday in the States when the fight takes place on 27th June.

    Thanks in advance.

    If so, it'll be on a small scale PPV like Khan vs. Barrera was.

    Good question. It should as Khan's resume now has Barrera, he has the now very famous Roach in the corner, it is going to be a world title fight, and HBO accepted Kotelnik for Ortiz, so why wouldn't anyone pick it up? It's a quality fight, and Ortiz will fight Maidana for the interim belt, so Khan-Ortiz could be on the table for the future.

    But it doesn't really matter, the UK market brings so much more money that a few hundred thousand bucks won't change anything. The UK market with top fighters like Hatton, Haye and Khan is stronger than the US market with top US fighters.

    Hopefuly it would be on Vs. or ESPN, this match is a good one but not PPV worthy IMHO.
