if it wasn't for the fact that audley and amir did well in the olympics, if it was anyone else at those 2 levels proffesionally (as in amir - rising star yet to fight anyone of real note, audley - back and forth heavyweight) this card would be a good friday fight not certainly not ppv imo

its greed by the khan family, why should he demand so much money when he has not even fought a descent 135 fighter he wont even fight a top domestic fight ffs.:-(

to be honest i'm more interested in tonights rendall munroe card maybe as its got local lads on it. I am excited about Alex Arthur/Nicky Cook, and I'm sure the Amir fight will be entertaining, big Audley not too arsed about, do want him to do well though, just dont think its worth £15 of my money and it'll set a precedent where were expected to pay extra for every half decent card. Don't get me wrong I am gonna watch it in the pub and then probably buy the dvd for my collection. Am I just being tight?? Maybe a little but its more about principles honest lol

Well said, it really rattles me when you think Amir Khan is probably earning 20 times more than people like John Murray yet ducks him :yep

Murray is overrated and I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. He's a decent solid pro but nothing more. Khan would slaughter him. There's a massive difference in talent.
The reason Khan is earning 20times more than Murray et al, is mainly because he won a Silver medal at the Olympics when he was still too young to fight in the main ABAs:nut That's an astonishing achievement unprecedented in British boxing
Cave in Gentlemen and prepare to PPV everything on sky, Setanta may start doing US shows on their setanta ppv channels again, I remember they showed Hopkins Hakkar and rahman Tua few years back.
and that would be the end of my setanta subscription

I'm not saying Khan's achievements as an amateur weren't great, it just grieves me that he is earning a lot more than boxers who imo he hasn't fought the quality of (me personally I think Murray would give Khan a good fight) and that theres this air of arrogance around him (maybe not him himself) that believes he's too good to bother going for the british titles which would be fine if he was fighting better opponents but he's not. What happened to the old fashioned way of working your way up.

don't worry if they both keep winning it will be a huge fight down the line and both would earn some proper dough

It's unlikely both will make it to World title level, infact neither might.
Why not have the fight now and if they do shock people and both reach World level have a very big rematch will all the titles, money and hype involved.

Indeed. Benn fought Watson at a broadly comparable stage.
Then again Benn said himself he was sick of Mexican road sweepers, pity Amir doesn't have the same attitude really.
I thought about 6 fights ago Amir was ahead of the curve in terms of opponent, but he's been treading water since. I guess they decided to match him much more carefully after Limond.

So you think khan wants to fight for a 100k, as he isnt really worth more is he ?
Not even fought the best dosmetic opponent
Fights blown up feathers and none punchers
Ok prescotts record looks good, but he isn't any world beater and who has he really fought at 135 :huh
His last 3 fights ok Abril 10-0-1 not bad polanco 4-5-3 :lol: thats his 18th fight solano 0-7-0 :patsch not exactly a ppv fighter is he.
Worst ppv headliner in history and what happens if prescott ko's him.
Khan is the most carefully matched fighter ****** has had, if he was fighting murray id pay for that.
Seriously khan has done nothing to ******t ppv, and if you pay for it you are just helping fuck up the sport. As all fights will go ppv :deal
In a way i hope he gets ktfo now, which is a shame because i always support our boys. Im very patriotic but this fight stinks:hat

There are plenty of stream sites who have it on their calender already. It does not need to be paid to be seen and if this gets enough buys then we can expect to pay for all sorts of crap from here on in.
Come on guys its Khan against another tomato Khan, dont cave in ffs.

I'll be paying, it's a good card plus all of Amir's fight have been really exciting to watch. I'd spend more money by going out so by paying to watch the PPV and staying in, i'll be saving money
