Would you accept earning significantly less money for a job than you believe you were valued to because of issues that were not of your doing? (Remember it was Hatton Promotions job to sort the undercard).

McCloskey can fight how he wants yes. However, if he fights in a negative manner than he's got no recourse for complaining about the fight, particularly as Khan seemed to be connecting more regularly. McCloskey made that a shit fight. Granted the fight shouldn't have been stopped, but McCloskey had done nothing to suggest anything would change other than getting hit more as the fight went on. Why should Khan give him reason to try get a rematch?

I agree on PPV, it's ridiculous that any half-decent fight featuring a domestic fighter is PPV now. If I'd paid for the DeGale/Groves card I'd have been seriously pissed off.
for just the tv money yes it is posible that is all he would have got, all in all tho he would have made a mint

if i was loaded and i had an army of fans i wouldnt complain at them paying a bit extra for my fights. but if my show wasnt up to scratch regardless of whos fault it was I would want to give value for money, at the very least I would at somepoint address the issue with the fans

The fight shouldnt have been stopped it was clear to everyone who knows anything about boxing, do you agree with khan denying this in the wake that it spoilt a night of sport that has cost a lot of people £15?

i paid for the groves degale card and it was much better entertainment than the khan mcclousky card, but that shouldnt be PPV either
