Comments Thread For: Spence: Khan Quit, Should've Gone Out On Shield For PPV Money

The UK PPV most likely did good numbers. It won't be a loss at all.

Not a chance it would have done good numbers in the UK on BT Sport at 4am.

I would be surprised if it even did the equivalent of $1m revenue total.

The UK is used to watching big fights at 4 am. Most people have to stay from 1.30 in the morning watching American fights and has been like that for decades.

Errol is right, Khan had nearly four minutes left of recovery time after a accidental low blow to the top of his right leg/thigh. He then tried to blame Hunter saying it was 'a lack of communication' when he clearly told him he didn't want to continue that he'd been it in the testicles which the replay clearly shows he wasn't.

Big Difference...Mikey didn't Punk Out and Quit...

Mikey stood in front of Spense for 12 rounds...

The Khanster took the circumstance to avoid

further punishment and QUIT...like a Dog...

That's Right.....Mikey stood there and took his Ass Whooping like a Man...like a Man!

true to that

I know the rule you get 5 min to recover but what if legitimately low blow is so bad you can’t continue winning fighter can’t continue gets robbed

If the fighter is WINNING...they go to the Score cards after 4 rounds.....
If he was WINNING...he still get the Decision...
If it's before the 4th round....it declared a NC or No Contest...or a Boxer can be DQed if he has previous Warnings....

The thing that pissed me off was that khan didn't even take the full 5 minutes. He pretty much quit around 40 seconds after the low shot.

This. What excuse is there for not taking 5 minutes? He 100% quit.

Also, Brook quiting was different as he literally had his eye sockets broken.

I still want to see Khan vs Brook. Just the amount of hate those two have for each other would not allow either to quit.

Plus gate plus international tv rights plus uk tv rights...

This man gets it.
Was it a blockbuster ppv? No....was it a bomb like the postol debacle? No.

No doubt that he quit, not even a point in watching future Khan bouts
