    It has happen before ex: Lewis-Rahman first fight.

    And, HBO cares about the ratings weather is shown in the U.K or the U.S it should get the same amount of ratings for HBO. The same people would still watch it.
    True. But really the Bradley fight was never meant to happen in April in the UK. It was always going to be a homecoming fight for Khan infront of his english fans against an opponent he would most likely beat and look good against. It was never supposed to be a big fight.

The UK is also notorious for bad stoppages, it seems fights never actually end in actual KO's over there. They stop it when the fighter is on their feet. This could mean that as soon as Khan gets Bradley with a shot the just temporarily stuns him they gonna stop it in Khans favor.

      Having this fight in the UK would ruin it a little bit for me personally, the U.S. is the center of boxing. I'll be damned if this fight happens in the UK.
      I guess....I don't care either way as long as they fight. It could take place in the moon for all I care. Just want to see it happen.

      Actually Calzaghe-Kessler was pretty big fight. It packed how many like 50k people in the arena? It was to unify 3 of the 4 belts. Between the top 2 best rated fighters. Undefeated fighters...Matter of fact it is similar to Bradley-Khan.

        I can see that...That is why it kind of sucks that Peterson won't take 300k. That is a good amount for him. He should take it...But, if he wants to look good against an opponent. Chose Urango then not Witter...

        HBO better not pay any type of licensing fee for a Khan-Witter. They better reject that shit. That is why they should have never save that date for him.

        Why does HBO keeping saving dates for fighters without no opponent is beyond me.

        And, why did Sky chose Khan vs TBA instead of Wlad-Haye is mind boggling right now.

          Chill out guys, this is a tuneup.

          Bradley was just talking, there's no way HBO or his team would let this fight go down in the UK.

          Khan is just giving his fans who've supported him back home a showcase. Lay off him.

            Why Sky would choose Khan vs. anybody over Wlad-Haye is mind boggling.

              Why would he need a tune-up?

                Calzaghe-Kessler was big in the UK and Europe. In the U.S. it was irrelevant... Only hardcore fans cared about it here. Hell I'm a hardcore fan but even I didn't care about that fight. Calzaghe could draw 50k against anybody, thats just how the Brits roll. They always show up to support their man.

                Bradley-Khan is a much much bigger fight in the U.S.

                    Alexander beat him, Bradley beat him...and this fight does what exactly for Khan?


                    Would have been a great chance to wipe away that one blemish on his record by just fighting Prescott

                      It's shocking that Sky are even considering letting this fight be made, let alone allowing it to get to the stage which it is seemingly at.

                      I'm surprised Khan wants it too. He shouldn't have a war before going up against Bradley, but he should still have something which is more of a test than this.
