khan v Judah is on primetime

[JazMerkin]

principle

the last khan fight i paid for and it was a crap fight with a crap ending and a crap undercard, the whole card was so crap sky refused it to be PPV and he went somewhere else that would get money out of his fans

if khan had said at the end, yeah you know what it shouldnt have been stopped when it was and id like to say sorry to the thousands of fans that have spend their money on a crap night of sport - then i may be happy to get his next fight

as it was the fight clearly shouldnt have been stopped when it was and khan was adament that it should, even coming up with some crap excuse that dudey wanted it stopped

he even said well i would of knocked him out in a couple of rounds anyway, well theres no point in watchin then is there you fool

if i get my £15 back for the last fight i may put it on this one

Hmmm, ok fair enough, it is your money.

Just one thing, are you saying a professional boxer should have accepted the £150k on offer from Sky rather than doing what he did & end up getting just short of half a million?

I personally see the blame from that fight with McCloskey. He seemed content to pose & although the ending pissed me off, I would rather have seen McCloskey make it a bit more clear he wanted to be in there.

Anyway, I'll definitely spend on this one, I certainly think it's better value than any other fight so far this year.

I reckon he would have got a bit more than £150k all in all

and yes I think he should have accepted the fact that it wasnt value for money and left it upto sky to screan it, or cut the price or something

and McClouskey can fight how ever he wants, the fact is the fight shouldnt have been stopped, why khan just couldnt have admitted that i dunno

on a side note, PPV isnt doing boxing any favours

No, he was going to get £150k flat fee from Sky. Obviously he would have got some money from HBO as well, but his original fee from Sky was a minimum guarantee of £750k.

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.
