    Comments Thread For: BoxNation Secures UK TV Rights For Canelo vs. Khan

    Boxingscene can confirm that BoxNation will show Saul Avalvarez's linear middleweight title defence against Amir Khan live and exclusive on May 7.

    They clash at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas at a catchweight of 155lbs as each vies to take Floyd Mayweather's mantle as the sport's premium Cinco de Mayo attraction.

            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
