      Good. Promoters shouldn't get away with **** cards. The undercard was ****.

      Now I can watch this fight on my big screen instead of a ****ty stream. .

        Penny Pinching Khan 0 - David Haye - 1

        I wondered if Sky would back 2 PPV's close to each other or if they would back Haye jumping into the mix with Wlad would forcing them to reconsider who they want to back.

          I think Sky are thinking Khan and Haye will sell like Hatton. They are used to getting big numbers from Hatton and are disappointed that Khan and Hayes numbers arent up to par with Hattons.Just saying

            Great news.

            That fight being on PPV was a joke anyway.

              Thats because they dont embrace the fans like hatton did. Hatton was a down to earth bloke who normal working class people felt they could connect with. Khan and haye are kinda hollywood fighters. Living the high life with celebs and not connecting with the fans. Also they havnt fought the best fighters in the division unlike Hatton who always wanted to fight the best.

                im going to it so am more worried about the undercard falling apart than it being free to watch on tv.

                Hopefully there'll be a few good fights on the undercard, as Im not expecting Paul to do too well in the main event.

                    Yep, exactly! Hatton was a guy you could pound a pint with in a bar and have a grand old time. Khan and Haye consider themselves superstars and elitists compared to the working class...
