    Yeah it's going PPV now.

    If the fight goes the way I'm hoping, could be the most expensive 30 seconds viewing in boxing history. :56:

    Yes, I think Primetime may have trouble flogging it - they're wanting £15, which I think a lot of people will balk at paying for just the possibility of seeing Khan get sparked.

    Problem is, they've had about four different cancellations - Rees-Crolla would have been interesting, as would Macklin-Winky, but it's not to be...

    Should be a doddle for Khan but would love it if he got knocked the * out.

    Here's the final press conference quotes for all interested:


    Amir Khan

    "I'm looking forward to this fight and am not letting anything distract me. I've had an excellent camp with my trainer Freddie Roach and new conditioner Michael Vale. We did some great work in Los Angeles and the Philippines, and I know that McCloskey has been giving his all in training.

    "Some people think this fight is going to be an easy one for me but they're wrong. Every fight I go into I train like I'm the challenger and this time has been the same. McCloskey is hungry and after my world title, so I can't look beyond him."

    "There has been talk of a unification fight with Timothy Bradley in the summer, but I can't think about anything like that because McCloskey is the man I need to get past. I feel strong and am just looking forward to getting in the ring now. The wait is the hardest part because I have done the hard work and am just eager to get into there and do the business on Saturday night."

    Paul McCloskey

    "I know Amir Khan is a good fighter but I believe he is beatable. The support in Northern Ireland has been immense, they have my posters everywhere. Training has been intense because I know this is my shot to become a world champion."

    "I have always believed that I would be a world champion and now my time has come. There will be a strong Irish contingent coming over and I won't disappoint."

    "I always trust in myself but I'm going to shock the boxing world this weekend when I'm victorious."

    Sky pulled it off Sky pay-TV and wanted to show it on Sky Sports 3. But Khan's family spat the dummy and switched it to Primetime. They have lost a lot of money on it, and there's been a rammy with McCloskey's folk, who realise hardly anyone will be watching it now.

    It would have been a great one to go to if they had managed to keep the planned package together - Rahman v Fury, Macklin v Wright, Crolla v Gavin Rees. But the undercard fell apart and none of those fights are happening now. :54:

    Would love Paul to knock Khan out. Dont think i would be happy if he won on points.


    No really, think McCloskey has a good shout now. He's a good fighter.
