I hope so, if you read it says talks broke down with Sky wonder why ;D, Franky's involvment with the PPV bill you reckon?
This would be awesome!

Would be a good move for ITV if they did. They will get tens of millions of viewers if they advertise this right.
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!
Sweet! I refuse to pay for a Khan fight unless it is of significance.
This fight should actually be a good one
cool stuff.... well done ITV :appl:
just hope its live and not a recording 18 hours later :cwm13:
EDIT: just read its live....WOW nice work itv 8)
"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.Quote:

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.Quote:

Doesn't look to good for Mosley in that case. But I'll be rooting for him all the same.
cheers mate.... i really couldn't remember ;)Quote:

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