Amir Khan vs. Kell Brook | Sky Sports PPV - 19 February 2022

[a force]

I've seen him fight plenty but never paid him any attention pre fight and have barely ever heard him speak.

Can those more familiar with him tell me how he sounds compared to his other fights. I hate to say it but he sounds slightly punchy. Or does he always sound like this? Does he seem more or less confident than usual?

Khan does seem supremely confident, but almost dangerously so, given how vulnerable he is.

Kell’s never been a good talker & he gets worse in fight week when he’s cutting weight

[a force]

Khan shouldn't have played the race card. The Ingle gym is about as multi racial as you'll get and it could only lead to problems on Saturday.

Best pal Kid Galahad, childhood hero Naz & Pad man & close mate Amer Khan.

He’s hiding that racism well is Kell

[Ruthless-RKO]

This would be the big problem financially. If they had to refund pre-booked orders as they could still be classed as PPV buys to be distributed to the other parties.
They reckon a large proportion of Communal dishes in Wales and South of England could be out of play til Monday morning.
I’m guessing that will be a lot of people who’ve pre-ordered meeting that criteria.

I’m in the manchester area but I haven’t ordered it yet.

Have Sky actually confirmed this anywhere?

Be interesting to see how many communal dishes go down tomorrow.
Be interesting to see what Sky do if there’s a lot of them.
They are usually run by 3rd party companies that wouldn’t be able to fix them til Monday.

You on a Communal dish?

I have one dish outside my house which wires into my house..

[a force]

Khan can go after Kell all he wants with rumours but Kell’s never had to pay off a mate to keep quiet. He should’ve asked Khan why he paid off his ‘best friend’ Saj Mohamed

[CaptainSpacerod]

Sure, he's saying *snigger, he's gay* in a totally woke and LGBT-supportive way


Khan isn't even capable of the mental coñtortions you are trying to normalise his behaviour with. Youre ascribing something vaguely like intellectual subtlety to him. He's got the IQ of a dog biscuit

Again I disagree. Not being openly supportive of lgbt issues does not make him homophobic. You are assuming that he’s prejudiced without seeing any evidence of it.

Hypothetically reverse the situation - if Amir were fighting an openly gay opponent and Amir was talking about them sharing a room back when and the gay boxer jokingly says no no no amir don’t say we shared a room that doesn’t make him a heterophobe,

I think your final derisive comment about Amir probably shows that you’re not being impartial in judging this situation

Due to the impending storms Sky are expecting a large amount of homes in the UK to be without Satellite signal come Saturday night.

Not surprised if it gets re-arranged if anyone misses the weight.

Fuk here we go.... I was predicting one getting covid at the last min to pospone this. But record storm causing thousands of peoples satalite TV been down is even more of an act of god to destroy this fight....

Have to wait and see but Its a cat amoungst the pigions, thats for sure. Must be hard for kell brook cutting weight, but with one eye on the weather wondering if he is cutting it for nothing. Be devistating for him if its a late call and he makes weight for nothing....

P.s i havent actualy head anything about them canceling but i imagine if tons of peoples sky is down they wouldent have much choice, and the severity of the storm is still quite speculative... But if the storms bad and they go ahead we get the other hillarious option which is these guys build/delay there money fight 5+ years only to have a storm steal half there purse...

Why did he pay him
Off?

[lookingaround87]

Did anyone mention Khan masturbating on Skype ?

Yes. Ingle shut Khan down big time. He said he was surprised the fight isn't being sponsored by Kleenex. LOL

[gregregegg]

They better tell Fraser Clarks opponent he is fighting this weekend. Forget preparing to fight an elite heavyweight he Needs to time to catch the train to weigh ins at least.

[Dioufy]

What time is the weigh in? Should be an interesting one

[Blueprint]

I heard 12.30

[Oiky]

Looking forward to the weigh in

[Ezzard]

Is Kell as shot as people are saying? Or did he just get done by one of the best fighters of the last 10 years? He didn't look bad until that moment.

Yes, he sort of unravelled fast but is it conclusive that he's finished?

He didn’t look a shot fighter to me. His jab & his timing were good he just had no punch resistance. I think it’s the weight more than anything.

Makes me think he might purposefully miss the weight.

It's Manchester not London it's not going to be cancelled because of sky dishes. C'mon stop scaremongering.

[jimmystone]

It's Manchester not London it's not going to be cancelled because of sky dishes. C'mon stop scaremongering.

If, for example, 200k people who have bought the PPV lose their electricity supply, or have problems with signal, and Sky refund them, Sky (or their insurers, if act of God is covered) will still have to pay the fighters their share of that PPV revenue and they will have lost that six million quid turnover for good. They will consider this. so whoever raised the matter is hardly scaremongering.

That said, the windsock ain't even flapping here at the moment (North West).

[Frostieballs]

It's Manchester not London it's not going to be cancelled because of sky dishes. C'mon stop scaremongering.

This. No way are enough people to have a significant influence on PPV sales going to be without power come tomorrow night.

Let's hope you are right.

Sky surely have something in their Ts & Cs about acts of god. Like Sky gives a @#% what happens to any buyer after they've paid their money.
