Is anybody going to waste £14.95 to watch this overated boxer on Saturday night/Sunday morning.

Breidis Prescott is a real novice with a big punch. He has fought 19 times won all 19 and only boxed 40 rounds but 7 of his opponents had never won a fight in their life. He has fought outside of Columbia 2 and is ranked no 167 in the world. Hand picked opponent like all of Khans previous ones, Frank Warren did a good job promoting Khan. Exciting to watch but is he any good, lets wait until he meets some of the unknown Mexicans who they have avoided for him..

Khan will win comfortably, and no I'm not wasting £15 quid on it, even though I'm a dedicated boxing fan.

If Khan fights for a world title against one of the sport's huge names, then I'd probably fork out, but to watch him fight Two Jags' Colombian cousin? I think not.

Certainly not. Would have watched it on ITV no doubt, or even on normal Sky Sports, but no way am I paying even more to see it.

It would appear that Khan may have shot himslef in thye foot by ditching Frank Warren. How many more boxers will live to regret doing that. He has guided to Amir Khasn to become avery wealthy man and acvoided him fighting anybody who may beat him. He is a brilliant promoter.

He has not ditched FW, Amir Khan is still promoted by FW and according to an article in this weeks Guardian it is down to Amir Khans financial demands that this fight is on PPV.

Surely the return of Audley 'The Real Deal' Harrison is worth £14.95 ?

Audrey Harrison would have to pay me 15 quid to even consider watching him. Have they even announced his opponent after Rogan pulled out?

Fighting the Brazilian George Arias plus Alex Arthur v Nicky Cook so I might stump up the 15 nicker as cheaper than going out and will round the evening off nicely after Albion in the afternoon and England v Andorra.

Correct.

I think Khan is a reasonable talent. He has a suspect chin, and his defence is a bit shaky at times but if he can protect himself a bit better I think he will do well. He is still learning his trade to a degree.....although he has been a pro for 4 years now.

Are you sure Ernest I read that he was now promoting him self and had ditched FW. His first deal was to sign up with sky rather thn ITV.

Where did you read this out of interest? My understanding is same as Ernest's.
