Why don't people like Khan? There may be something that I've forgotten but I can't think of anything. Always been in exciting fights too before getting chinned. 

I think he comes across like a right arrogant nobhead. All that cheating on his mrs etc. Also running some fella over years back (ok it was an accident, the fella died two years later) then thinking its ok to stream himself driving around Bolton over xmas and doing 140 up a motorway. 

 

I'm sure Brook isn't perfect, most of us aren't. I just don't like him. Talented fighter when his head is right though.

Hagler v Leonard on Sky Sports Arena 

FFS Hagler hasn’t even been dead a year and they’re wheeling his corpse out for another fight. Sky are really scraping the barrel here.

Hahaha. They've just had The Pointer Sisters murdering the Star Spangled Banner and all.

I don’t mind him but I still haven’t forgiven him for that Prescott fight. At the time a load of us used to go back home after the pub when there was PPV boxing on and we’d all chip in to buy the fights. A lot of the PPV’s were around 4am. Nobody else wanted to even leave the boozer for Khan vs Prescott but around that time he was the only fighter in the world who I’d seen in every single professional fight. 
 

Not only did I have to persuade everyone to leave the pub, I also stumped up the entire PPV fee myself (only £15, but it was the principle) only for him to get starched in under a minute. I got laughed at for that for ages.

Pretty sure it was his first PPV as well!

[Gooch]

Khan was the figurehead for the awful cash grab PPV's that eventually put that model out of business on sky for like a decade until Hearn showed up.

Still have nightmares about Khan vs Osin Fagen on PPV.

Just had a look and I think of his 39 fights, I've seen 35 and at least 30 of them live on TV. A more damning indictment of my social life for the last 15 years, I could not imagine.

[Elite]

It's really hard to predict as they are both completely finished.

 

I'm going for Brook though as the last thing you lose is power and he's the bigger puncher.

 

The undercard is terrible as well. Thank fuck for IPTV.

I don't like Khan at all. I never heard about that, assumed you'd mixed it up with Prince Naseem.

@dickie mint told me a cracker of a story when I met him for beers in Belfast. Khan and his crew getting chased out of a boxing gym in Liverpool after giving it the big one.

 

I was half cut, so can't remember the full details. But Khan legged it, getting chased by some dangerous lads across a car park.

Just watching the gloves are off here.... close your eyes it sounds like Norris Cole and Marlon Dingle are having an argument over FIFA online

It was a weird dynamic. There didn't seem much hatred, just like two mates that are pissed up arguing over random shite.

Yeah agreed. I expected it to be more explosive. Possibly the shittest Gloves Are Off I've seen. Froch v Groves 2 was my favourite. 

[Boss]

The face Khan pulls here cracks me up. It's so patronising.

Groves really got under Froch's skin, not that it did him much good come fight night!

 

The Whyte v Chisora one was brilliant. "Who's the donkey." It was hilarious seeing how those roided up bouncers were swatted aside like they were little boys when it all kicked off.

Froch wanted to cry he was that angry. 

 

Hahaha yeah, fuck getting between them two.

From the admittedly little I saw of the build up to both the Froch Vs Groves fights I though verbally Groves won the first and Froch the 2nd

I watched the presser just now. Brook doesn’t look right to me. He must be struggling with the weight, he looks fucked.

[Kevin D]

Sky taking a stab at 24/7. Nice beginning:
