Presuming Khans management grow some and decide to fight a proven puncher for a title next would you pay for it PPV?
For the record I would... :think
PS - I am ware that there is no chance of this happening.

Hell no.
Call me crazy but...I think we should only have to pay for well established, world class stars, fighting for serious honours.

Khan getting starched for free on "internet radio" was about as good as it gets. There's no need to part with any money to watch Khan any more.

yes "hearing" khan get starched on "internet radio" was grand. i'd definitely be tuning in to "internet radio" if his next fight is ppv.
the only way i'd pay for a khan fight is if it was on the undercard of a genuine world class championship fight. as ****** does not have any genuine world class fighters in his stable, this is pretty unlikely.

Rather pay to watch John Thaxton VS John Murray great fight which you would get your moneys worth.
Thaxton and Murray should not give Khan the time of day both have major belts and both were denied a fight by amirs camp thinking they were not good enough.
Shoe on the other foot now and its Khan who needs them tell Khan to go to columbia and avange his defeat first.

I probably would as my mates would chip in with me so it's a no brainer really.
Does anyone know whether the next Khan fight is PPV because it was in the sky contract? Because if it is PPV then they will have to get somebody at least on Thaxton's level (higher really) to justify it.

do you think they'll need to justify the opponent to make it ppv? especially if there are two "world" title fights on the same bill.
all indications are that the opponent will be gethin, unless ****** manages to pull out another unknown overseas opponent (ensuring that he is not recommended by rubio!)

Who is going to be on the same bill then? Or is this going to be on the same night as DLH v Pac?

I'd love t see the fight, but I would NOT pay extra to watch on PPV. Out of principle I will only pay extra to watch a superfight eg Hatton v Mayweather,Calzaghe v Hopkins,Calzaghe v Kessler etc, not what is essentially a British title fight
Who is going to be on the same bill then? Or is this going to be on the same night as DLH v Pac?
rumour is that cook will be defending his wbo and macca fighting for a vacant wbo.
still not paying for it

I'd hope a pub would have the fight on to watch It.

to think that Khan had moved past the likes of Thaxton and that he was below his level now - what a load of hype.
Thaxton is a solid pro - European level fighter - and Khan was shown as a amatuerish boy.
Lets not forget the arrgoance and disdain that Khan was writing off solid pros who had been on the scene for years and felt that he did not need to prove himself against the likes of Thaxton because he was so obviously above his level
Khan truley got his Karma
To answer the question - no way do I pay for any fight these days - not unless it is a big one - like the last one I paid for was
Mayweather V Hatton
I would have paid for Calzaghe and Kelseer and Enzo V Haye but they were free
No way am I paying for a hype job like Khan

Depends what I'm doing that night I suppose.
I stayed in the night of the Prescott fight, Girlfriend fell asleep so I bought it - if I was out I wouldn't have.
In all honesty £15 is only 5 pints these days, not gonna break the bank.

No, domestic match ups are not PPV material.

Enzo Maccarinelli v Jonathon Banks
Nicky Cook v Ricky Burns
Jon Thaxton v Amir Khan
Matthew Macklin v Wayne Elcock
Nathan Cleverly v Dean Francis
Bradley Pryce v Anthony Small II
Kell Brook v top 5 British Welterweight
Kenny Anderson v very decent journeyman
Stephen Smith v ?
Now that is a card involving Thaxton v Khan I would fork out money for, rather than relying on 'internet radio'
What we're actually likely to get for Khan's comeback is:
Enzo Maccarinelli v Jonathon Banks
Amir Khan v Martin Gethin
Nicky Cook v Ricky Burns
Paul Smith v Steven Bendall
Denton Vassell v ?
Tony Bellew v ?
Jamie Cox v ?
Stephen Smith v ?
Thomas Costello v ?
Then Smith/Bendall pull out, one of the 5 prospects ends up with an absolute joke of an opponent to the point there shouldn't even be a fight and Banks pulls out at the last minute and is replaced by Rob Calloway.
No i wouldnt pay for it and i dont think we should have to.
To be honest Sky showed a future great in Shane Mosley fighting a two weight world champion in Ricardo Mayorga for free so i dont understand having to pay for a fight between a flawed "prodigy" (Khan) against a fighter who whilst very likeable and a true example of dedication isnt exactly world level (Thaxton).
Thats if Khans management have like you said Jeff the balls to accept the challenge, especially after Khan calling Thaxton out and then bottled the fight.

Thaxton v Murray, please. Same promoter. Same TV channel. Both want each other's titles.
It can be so hard to make some fights. There wouldn't have to be any faffing about with Thaxton & Murray. No pulling out of purse bids & all that kind of nonsense.

Theres more chance of Khan fighting Margarito than Thaxton-Murray happening any time soon.

Because Hennessey has few enough top fighters as it is without letting them bump each other off. Was Murrays name mentioned even once post fight?

Don't think for one minute that these small promoters are any better, or any worse, than Frank ******. The only reason they don't pull the kind of stunts he does is that they can't.

It does seem that Thaxton has a specific idea where he wants to go and that's never involved Murray.
If Murray beats McAllister (and if Khan declines to go for the EBU belt), and beats him good, he won't be far from topping the EBU rankings. There is hope.
Will be a shame if Murray gets held back.

With a decent undercard yes. It's not the money. £15ppv and staying in with a few cans and a pizza is cheaper than going out, btu I wouldn;t pay for teh last one on principle. The problem is, if the main event is a decent pull in its own right, they'll put dross on the rest of the card....
Domestic level scraps like Thaxton Khan should never be ppv.

like money ruins football - if they start charging for run of the mill fights - (they did with Khans last one) - its ruining the sport for greed

Its important that Frank ****** charges pay per view for fights like Khan
After all - ******s greed - wants him to have a new property in Spain - you shell out your £15 in the thousands - ****** gets rich off you and the hype job Khan can afford a new porsche as well
