AMIR KHAN announced that he has given away more than PS250,000 in free tickets to his friends so they could see him fight Kell Brook.
The bitter grudge match between the welterweights was finally confirmed by the rivals. It will take place in Manchester on February 19.
Amir Khan and Kellbrook ahead of their February fight
The demand for this fight was so great that tickets sold out in minutes.
Khan, who is never disappointed, admitted that he had to pay out of his own pocket to ensure his friends and family are there.
He said to iFL TV, "I only have a few tickets left." It's difficult man. So many of his friends are saying, AK, I need some tickets.
"I don't want anyone to be let down. I want everyone to have the chance to see this fight.
"I'm giving away so many tickets, so I told the Mrs. - I got them to handle it all. I then said, "Listen, don’t even tell me how much money I could make if they sold them."
"Just don’t tell me that I’ve gone over, because I know. I won't lie. I think I have probably spent a quarter of one million quid. I don't give away tickets.
Free Bets: Get more than PS2,000 in NEW CUSTOMER DEALSThe 35-year-old couple have been together for their entire careers. Despite near-misses and many other close calls, they never reached an agreement.
This means that their rivalry has been growing and will reach its climax next month when the first bell rings.
Khan insists that the feud and eventual fight are not personal. He will not allow emotions to stop him from performing, despite the animosity.
He stated, "It's business. Nothing personal with Kell."
"When things get out of control, you lose your game plan and start to hate the person.
"I don't want to make that error, I just want the opportunity to get in there and do my best.
