A bill were Khan headlines shouldn't be PPV unless he's fighting JMM, Pacman, Valero or Hatton. Witter at a push.

I'll pay for that - only as a fan, not as a happy customer

not happy, but paying anyway cause them streams always fook up at last minute

i think this is the worst 'Khan' PPV bill so far

and its proberly a little too late to get another good fight on it

what happened to Mitchel v That geezer who beat Cook, that would have made it more acceptable

Oh I don't know..... the Fagan bill was pathetic - DLH vs Pacquiao saved that one.

Enzo vs Ellis!!!!

Nope it's not worth it, but as the mugs continue to buy into Khan as a ppv star then so it will continue.

With the mega-superstar TBA fighting four times on the card I'm not happy(but pay as a fan). But if we get competitive matches sorted for Chisora and Macklin in the next few weeks I think I'd be pretty satisfied.

Khan-Kotelnik is 50-50. Kotelnik, like Khan, lost to Mario Kindelan in an Olympic lightweight final (2000) but, again like Khan, has a win over the Cuban in return.
Remember, the Ukrainian pushed Junior Witter to a desperately close decision in Nottingham just before Witter won his WBC title.

now.....i am relatively commercially aware...but

it does not take a rocket scientist to realise that, if FW dropped the PPV to £4.99 then more than 3 times the amount of people would buy it !!!

I avoid SN's shows now, so I doubt I would ever buy their PPV cards.

Not happy but probably will, Khan-Kotelnik is pretty intriguing, not that excited by it though

To be fair Khan-Kotelnik is about as good Hatton-Urango was

I doubt they would 14.99 isnt a boat load, and more than 50% of the people who actually want to see it will probably stump up. Where as if someone didnt want to pay 14.99 they probably wouldn't pay for it anyway

Not paying no way! Hatton an established world champion against the best in the world, yeah i'll pay, but this drosh no way! The only fight that interests me is is small v hall and hopefully that will be on you tube within 24 hours. Amir is not box office simple as that.

Guys - yeah its pricey - but you can bet with advertising getting less and less and TV getting shorter on contracts - PPV will be appearing a lot more!!!

Roy,

Boxing has its fans caught between a rock and a hard place - I am nuts about the sport and thus people like the various promoters will continue to exploit the likes of me - I admit I cannot resist buying!!!

No Khan fight should be PPV imo. PPV should only be for fights of major significance and of a competitive nature i.e card should be strong in depth. Undercard is typical FW fodder.

He could drop it to a five a pop and theoretically draw a bigger revenue, i.e. (more than treble the audience) however, how does he then go back to £14.99 without shrinking the buy up he would have gotten. Across the two cards he'd be down.

All he would do is reset the bar much, much lower and in the long run, reduce his turnover.

I will buy it, as I always do. Having said that, Sky should exercise much stricter quality control and have someone in charge with boxing knowledge who would veto this as a PPV card.
