Khan-Barrera card headed to U.S. PPV

by Scott Christ on Jan 24, 2009 8:57 AM EST in Boxing News Analysis

No official announcement has been made, but yet another piece of news from Dan Rafael's chat yesterday was that the March 14 fight in Manchester between Amir Khan and Marco Antonio Barrera will get U.S. pay-per-view coverage for $24.95.

You can count me in for this one. Not only am I seriously intrigued by the Khan-Barrera main event, but it's a quality undercard, too, featuring Nicky Cook's first defense of the WBO junior lightweight title against unbeaten Roman Martinez, and an Enzo Maccarinelli fight. For $25, it's a hell of a nice deal, I think, and just having the ability to watch it on pay-per-view is good.

Roman Martinez

Only reason I’ll be watching. This kid is a brawler with fighters heart.

Watching Manny Pacquiao fight live--great...
Watching Manny Pacquiao shadow boxing on the roof of an abandoned building--priceless

Looks like

Maccaranelli will be fighting Ramirez, the guy who beat Alexander Alexeev for the interim WBO title the other day. Could be an interesting fight, and I wouldn’t be that surprised if it ends up looking something like Bute-Andrade.

Vogt early, Vogt often.
