Wondering if anyone can help me here, contemplating going to Vegas for the Khan vs Alexander fight and was just wondering how much a decent ticket would cost? Would they be on sites such as ticket master?

Anyone?

Ticketmaster would get you tickets you would think. I would guess if there is a Amir Khan fan club they might be able to get tickets too if it is a offical 1. Dont forget unlike in the UK the venues wont be as big in Vegas so its a lottery. I am guessing there is some blues who went over to see Hatton fighting in the US I would of guessed they would be of greater help to you.

cheers bud.

Hopkins V Kovalev Box Nation (Or Stream) Should be about 4.15 am.
Hope it's a cracker. Could be B-Hops last fight at the tender age of 49! A true legend of the sport.

Hopkins is never in a cracker but he is an amazing ring technician.

Cleverly vs the Everton fan pay per view - can't see that doing well.

There's a decent undercard with the likes of Quigg, De-Gale,Groves, Joshua, Callum Smith,Jamie Mcdonell and that young German Knockout sensation just added. I'd certainly have paid £15 for that lot if I'd not have told Sky to shove it up their arse a couple of months ago. I'll watch it though by hook or crook!

Well I hope B Hop retires now. Totally out classed he doesnt need to prove any more than what he has already done. I can see him fighting on sadly but I just want him to retire and be able to live the rest of his life normally dont want to see another Ali on our hands with him going on and on.

As for the PPV with Bellew. it will sell wont do the numbers of the Groves v Froch fights. I just think its a case of Matchroom keeping everyone ticking over. I think next year there could well be more PPVs. They will be looking for someone to take over from Froch long term. I can say a Khan v Brook fight could do PPV. Thats the only fight that would sell on PPV. As sadly Quigg has no following at the moment so Frampton V Quigg if it happens would be on normal Sky.
Big fights will happen for a load of fighters from Matchroom stable and be good to see it going down.

If anything next week the Dublin bill will be a really good 1. Some great fights on the undercard so if you get to see it be well worth a look at it. Its got the makings of being the best Saturday fight night of the lot 2 50-50 fights at Irish title level and a 50-50 fight with Hyland v Simpson be a good 1 too. I am looking forward to going to it.

Shocking undercard in my opinion. Big names fighting bums, nothing more than a poor sparring session.

I hope it does the lowest PPV numbers sky ever sees.

And that probably explains the bad blood between them. Nothing to do with actual dislike of each other, all to do with selling PPV. Not a chance i will be paying for that rubbish.

No they actually do hate each other. The first fight there was needle now they just cant stand each other. Bellew has said it the first fight was a part of the promotion but now its personal than ever before. The 2 just dont get along. There will be fireworks trust me.
The undercard fights I like the Callum Smith fight against Sjekloca the lad hasnt been stopped and will be Smiths biggest fight. Would of loved to see Callum Smith v Rocky Fielding and was shocked it wasnt made.
DeGale v Periban well Periban is a bit of a banger so DeGale will not trade with this guy and keep him at distance if he boxes it should be a easy night if he trades be more harder.
Groves should beat Douglin easy its a keep busy fight for him. Same too can be said for Jamie McDonald and Anthony Joshua I expect Joshua to win by ko inside 4 rounds against Sprott.
Quigg v Otake well its a keep busy fight but I just dont trust Quigg there protecting him and wont risk him with any major banger or treat in this division for a long long time. Otake isnt even the best from Japan none of them look that great apart from Omori who has been Koing a lot of fighters over there. But Quigg will he struggle with Otake and his boxing style we will wait and see. I think if there is a upset this could be the fight for the upset.

I think Bellew is going to blow this, I was at the gym with him the other day and he just seems too hyped up.
