Now that Fwank has got his arse back on SKY, who will be paying for the PPV show on 6th September?


I won't!

No.

Well done mate.

We have to start a 'Don't buy Khan' Protest!


De Gale on BBC1 Right now! 9.35!

As Amy Winehouse says....

Not even if Sky threw in a set of Pyrex dishes. And a year's supply of Cillit Bang. And Davina McCall's death certificate.

I think Wazza's gone down the Khan PPV route rather too early. To justify the outlay he's going to have to steer the waterford-chinned wonder into some proper fights. At which point Frank will have a lot of shards to sweep up.

He just hasn't got the stable anymore to put on PPV's that will sell. Enzo? Audley? Gavin Rees - the road back to glory? Hardly fodder to have the boxing populace salivating.

Pyrex dishes are good, Cillit Bang doesnt work and Davina McCall shouldnt be working, not on TV anyway. No I wont buy it, they are taking the piss and deserve to have a flop. Buy this and you will have to pay for all Khans fights. TBH I dont think too many will lash out £15 for it, not even if they reduced it to £9.99.

Pass the crack?

Feel aggrieved enough that Sky get my money in the first place without the absolute cheek of matching Khan against someone I wouldn't have known never mind picked, and then asking me for MORE money.

Disgusting.

I agree, he's worse than Hitler

No way. Time to take a stand Boxrec brothers.

Whats wrong with getting a shortlist of fighters together and then having a website poll, saying 'which one of these 3/4/5 do you prefer?'

that way we feel like we have had a say,.

There's something like that in wrestling, where once a year they have a full card of matches decided by the fans (from given shortlists). Obviously easier to do when all the competitors are in-house and it isn't legit combat, but still, nice idea isn't it?

I'm embarrassed to say I picked the mybe... the bill is possibly the worst PPV I have ever seen; and unfortunately if it's successful we will be paid back with loads more shite PPV. Hatton vs Lazcano was dire as well, but I bought it out of boredom.


Unfortunately if I don't watch the fight I will go to the pub and it will end up with me spending much more that £15....and I don't want to miss the possibility of Khan being Ko'd....Lord I'm talking myself into buying it now!

Even if Khan was facing Thaxton, Campbell or Katsidis I dont think it merits PPV status.

If he was facing Pacman or Hatton I would relent and reluctantly agree you can make a case for PPV given the luster of the opponent.

I dont pay for Sky Sports anymore and things like this are the reason why.

Setanta got the mix just right. I hope it continues. Boxing people presenting the shows, good fights most weeks.

All you need to know about Sky is shown in their adverts. Focus is on RUGBY-CRICKET-FOOTBALL-GOLF....boxers didn't even feature on any of their printed ads anywhere.

Its a distraction for them now.

There will be plenty of online streams available to watch this bout.

Im looking forward to Arthur v Cook but I aint shelling out 15 quid for it.

Don't forget to post the links in good time!

Sky can fornicate off. I've now cancelled my subscription, the whole things a fornicating rip anyway.

Anyway, keeping the Sky box and you can still get Setanta even though you're not subscribed to Sky - I didn't know this until the other day! That'll do me!
