Sky are short sighted prats who have there head up Amir Khans ass.
To be honest Sky could afford to not show a Khan PPV. I don't think he's ever done well on box office, the sales are low especially compared to Haye's, and they didn't show the Malignaggi fight after all. Sky are by far the main network in the UK, so they could do what they want in regards to pissing Khan off by not showing it, he'll still come back because that's the network that he'll get the most money from over here. I understand Khan has a date with HBO so Sky can't move it, so the only benefit to Sky saying no to April 30th is that they get a Haye-Chagaev PPV, and then Haye-Wlad.That makes sense I guess, but its frustrating as fans when a fight gets so close to being made only for a network to stop it.
Chisora-Wlad can't be PPV surely as that's April 30th, the date Sky were supposedly unwilling to schedule another box office show, and even if it were what kind of numbers would it do? I can't imagine it doing many. If it is on PPV then we'll know it wasn't Sky that stopped the fight happening though
why on gods earth would sky throw away there biggest money maker in years for an amir khan fight.
They happily showed pacquiao-margarito the same night as haye-harrison, this smells of b-s to me
