According to someone who works for primetime said it did 150,000 ppv buys, which is a record for them. But he said they still are counting the next day repeats before they announce the final number. I think thats a pretty good number, considering the opponent and the last minute change in broadcaster.

if thats true then thats quite impressive considering all the last minute madness. -
According to someone else it only did 90,000.Comment

No way it did 150k, 99% of the UK have never heard of the primetime channel and Khan's fights have never been big PPV sellers. His PPV debut only did 30k on Sky and that was coming off audiences of 10 million on ITV.Comment

amir will probably never fight overseas again until he loses
you could see in his face after the fight that he was making god awful money
even lampley and merchant were laughing it up
mccloskey made more cache than amir, according to hbo
kudos haroon
kudos shah
kudos team khan. another great move by the most foolish team in boxing.
idiots.
and if amir continues to look god awful without his old strength coach (alex ariza)
we can credit them with another terrible move.
one fight wont really show the effects of the change in conditioning coaches to a degree where we can say it's definitely a detriment
but he's a siginificant part of amir's regime, considering that roach is the busiest trainer in the sport and has allegiance to pacquiao first
but he looked awful awful awfulComment

Truthfully, even if it did 90,000, that's a pretty solid number. Considering the change in broadcasters and the relatively unknown opponent, Khan was able to sell a decent amount.
Take 90,000, for example. Essentially, numbers-wise, this would be like if Khan was fighting in America, had an opponent that was only kind of known, switched from HBO to SHOWTIME and sold about 550,000. That's pretty damn good.
If it's 150,000, then it's more like they sold over 900,000. These are pretty good numbers.Comment

While I do agree that he has an amateur team with him who are just trying to cash in on every penny, you have to realise that his performance wasn't to do with his coach right there at all. He fought an opponent who was content with surviving and didn't do much in the fight, he fought cautiously...dude only landed 5 punches someone was saying, all in all he landed a pitiful number of blows and forced Amir to be the aggressor which led to him being abit careless.
His workrate was good, his speed was good and you don't lose power after one fight lmao his power is due to his speed and he looked very quick in that fight MCLOWNsky couldn't keep up with him...you have never heard any fighter after fighting AK saying that he was slow or slower than they thought.
He needs to work on a few things with Roach in the gym but no matter how much he works with Roach or anyone, I think Amir Khan loves a good scrap and when he gets hit he wants to hit the other guy back straight away with a hard punch, its just his nature...something you can't take away.Comment
