I wish it would be on ITV but doubt it.

Wow, so this fight between Khan-Paulie may be on PPV? Fuk that shit. Hell they shouldn't even be fighting on a premium cable network like HBO. These 2 should be going at it on ESPN's friday night fights.

Calzaghe is right about 1 thing, Khan is a manufactured star.

Its HBO because of malignaggi, dont buy into that shit that america is already hot for khan, The second he gets off that plane he is just another foreigner making his way in the business.

If sky manage to get this and the mitchell-katsidis card its more than worthy of PPV over here, people will pay a lot of money to see 2 world title fights in one nght

I agree that Khan shouldn't be a pay-per-view attraction in a fight against Paulie. In the UK, different to the US, it's only ever been the biggest fights that have been PPV, and this fight is not a worthy headliner for a PPV, in the same way that Khan v Salita shouldn't have been at the top of a PPV bill.

If they are planning a joint PPV with the Mitchell fight in there as well, I just hope they don't push the Mitchell fight back to silly o clock to suit the timing of Khan's fight and mean there's not too long a gap, because Mitchell's recent efforts deserve him being the star attraction in what should be a sensational fight.

I posted that ITV were in prime posistion to take the fight as the Khan/Warren coonection on the ppv could be a problem, I really hope it's on Itv but I can't see it as it;s in the States and Itv wont buy this fight if it's airing early hours

No they wont mate, im 99% certain this is just the newly formed team khan holding sky to ransom to see how much they can actually get until they sign the contracts.

If khan is succesful in a big way may 15th this stand off will never be an issue again, khan will be able to attract a respectable amount of money for a fight stateside and the pittence offered domestically wont even be an issue.
