HAHAHAHAHAHAHA all you American ****s paying about $80 to watch it, where as us Brits can watch it for £12

Go suck my balls, yankie doodle wankers.

The only thing the fans are split on is when Khan will be knocked out, this is not a mega fight and Canelo most definitely shouldn't call himself a warrior fighting a unproven chinny welterweight , warriors don't pick on chinny little fighters.
As I have BN i'll shall have a look but wouldn't have paid a been a bean for this nonsense.

These low prices only hurt the fighters in the end. Don't see how this is something that should be celebrated. When I saw that the Froch/Groves fight only made approximately $32 million (around 22 million pounds) in total revenue after selling 900k PPVs and nearly 80k tickets, I was shocked.

I'd rather support the fighters and pay more. Besides I don't know many Americans who actually pay for these events individually anyway. We usually watch at bars and fight parties where people chip in; so the $50 or $60 price doesn't really kill your pockets at all.

Where did you get those figures from? Froch-Groves was pay-per-view both times, I think it was around £15.95/£19.95 for HD. So between $21 and $28, but yeah, a lot cheaper than US shows, which the fans are happy about. The cost of PPVs in America is insane.

Anyway, Hearn said a few days ago Sky weren't very interested in Canelo-Khan as it wasn't a viable PPV fight as the PPV market is crowded right now (Fury-Klitschko 2, Quigg Frampton, Joshua-Martin in the first half of the year alone), so BoxNation were able to get it. Either way, no1 cares, fight is a damn mismatch. Khan is going to sleep in four rounds or less.

It's going on at 6 am + sandwiched in close between joshua and fury.

I said from the beginning I couldn't see it going on PPV.

Khan must be pissed
