    Fuck Khan, he's been given the benefit of the doubt by many fans (me included) and has been rewarded handsomely financially without facing a decent opponent. I've gone from rooting for him to improve to hoping he gets knocked the fuck out next time, and I'll be fucking laughing reading the result on the websites as well cos i sure as hell won't be paying a penny to watch this joke.

    The barometer for 'greatness' in boxing has shifted too much from ring achievement to how well you can con the public to watch your shows, ppv's of any kind are damaging, ppv's for meaningless shit is beyond taking the piss.

    I'm from the UK and to my USA fight fans Khan has switched from terrestial TV (Any one could watch his fights? to PPV TV (As you know you have to pay to watch his fights) I guess that's what boxing is now

    I think we forget Khan is only 21 and says pretty much what people tell him.

    When he announced his bodyfat was down to 1.5% I think he clearly indicated that he was merely parroting unknowingly what his trainer, probably tongue in cheek told him.

    I expect Warren has told him it's a great honour to be on Sky Box office watched by a couple hundred thousand people so he can make Frank more money, rather than on ITV in front of millions but where Frank doesn't make as much cash.

    Same here . The only regret about nto getting his fights is that im gonna have to read the result on here rather than watch his first loss. I paid for Hameds fights even though I always wanted him to lose but im not paying for khan especially at this level . Maybe if he fought Casa or Hatton that would be worth a tenner so see him get crushed .

    It's just something to say to sell the fight. The actual fight itself is a joke however even if it wasn't PPV. Ricky Hatton had nearly 40 fights before Tszyu and we could easily see the same thing happen with Khan. As long as they're selling tickets and PPVs they'll keep matching him with guys like this.
