Get in!! Looks like Khan v Paulie is on ITV!!

[skel1983]

ITV set to screen Amir Khan's US debut - mirror.co.uk


I hope so, if you read it says talks broke down with Sky wonder why , Franky's involvment with the PPV bill you reckon?

This would be awesome!

[Kel]

Would be a good move for ITV if they did. They will get tens of millions of viewers if they advertise this right.

[rjj tszyu]

I thought Sky had paid Khan a lump sum up front to be on Box Office. If this is correct though good stuff for boxing in britain!

[Althugz]

Sweet! I refuse to pay for a Khan fight unless it is of significance.

This fight should actually be a good one

[Saddo]

cool stuff.... well done ITV


just hope its live and not a recording 18 hours later

EDIT: just read its live....WOW nice work itv

"due to the 5hour time delay may not start till 1am"

Thats bullsh*t right off the bat, the stadium gates wont even be open by 1am, they wont actually go fighting till gone 3 at the very earliest

Had this of been in britain ive no doubt ITV may well have gone in for this and made it prime time saturday evening viewing. But are they really gonna be prepared to break the bank for something that will be live when everyone is fast asleep??

They did show Calzaghe-Lacy at about 3am. But I take the point.

No mate, definately Sky. I remember as I had to get my friend to record it for me as I didn't have Sky at the time.

[GuyIncognito76]

Seems odd that they would show this at 3am but not Kessler v Froch at 10pm.

If Mayweather and Mosley have a great night thats great for boxing.

Mayweather vs Pacquiao in my opinion based on their styles Mayweather could win that fight going away. People don't want to see that. THAT would be worse for boxing, after all the hype of Mayweather v Pacquiao, if Mayweather wins the fight going away that kills it all.

If Mayweather and Mosley have a great fight that is a FOTY candidate, THAT fight would be a great night of boxing and a rematch WOULD be deserved. Especially if it sets up a trilogy. A Mayweather vs Mosley Trilogy would have a legendary status and is worth more then a Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight imo.

Mayweather will never be in a FOTY... ever. He doesn't engage, and he doesn't like to get hit. The minute he hits the canvas he is done. He has no heart.
And a Trilogy? Surely you must know that for these guys to fight each other on this level, there can only be one fight. It only took 10 years to make it happen, probably another 10 for the rematch. Is it just me, or do you see this fight going landslide for Money or KO for Mosley.



Doesn't look to good for Mosley in that case. But I'll be rooting for him all the same.

Where am i, how'd i get here....?

[Conrad]

Yeah no way the fight goes live before 3am, even that's a bit too early. NY may only be 5 hours behind but west coast America is 8 hours behind, any earlier and you'll be losing viewers Stateside.

The whole point of Amir fighting in NY is to get US exposure so they definitely wont let the fight air any earlier than 3am GMT.

[Cressa121]

Great news if it is. Presuambly this means that Khan's box office PPVs on Sky didn't do well?
