amir khan signs with sky

I think the only reason this fight is ppv is because arthur v cook is the main event, plus khan is fighting on the undercard. i don't reckon khans next few fights will be ppv, even warren must realise khans a long way from 15 quid.

Authur-Cook isnt ppv material either though, aurthur hasnt fought for about 50 years and cook lost his last fight. This ppv card is beyond a joke, anyone who buys this deserves to have their money stolen by frank warren

So....? What's your point pro boxers receive far more coverage than amaeturs.


I'm not saying if you do well in amateurs you automatically do well in the pro ranks, but If Khan's so good why didn't he win gold then?

BEFORE Khan went pro the hype surrounding him was a lot greater than Degale because people could recognise the talent in him (as opposed to james degale).

Also, Khan was 17 at the olympics. Degale is what, 22? Amir also managed to destroy Kindelan in an amateur rematch on ITV which pulled in the viewers.

Plus Amir is just a very entertaining boxer. Degale isn't.

Dont get mad because I said Amir Khan is more popular than Joe Calzaghe in the UK. The truth hurts. I'm a Calzaghe fan but lets face it when Amir wins a world title everybody will know about it. It won't take him 10 years of holding onto it to get recognised.

Fair, but also consider how many boxers went to the 2004 Olympics, and how many went this time around.

Being known and having a fanbase is a different story. I gurantee Amir can't sell out the wmbley stadium which calzaghe could do. Amir is just really over-hyped, so people who don't follow boxing read about him in the newspaper thinking hes a superstar when really he hasn't even won a british title yet.

So? Hardcore fans aren't the ones that keep boxing at the top. They just prevent it from dying. Guys like Amir Khan bring in the casual fans and they bring in the real paper.

[Jambo boy]

Khan fan clearly knows very little about boxing, hense his screen name.
