khan on free tv

[Drago]

sorry if someone already done a thread on this but the khan fight is on itv live saturday night

i think this is great, probably biggest fight live on terrestrial tv for a long time?

Can't think of the last decent fight to be on terrestrial television. Amir Khan has been on ITV a few times and Fraudley's 'professional career' began on BBC. Good job them getting this fight though - be interesting to know how much they paid for it.

prob cos he aint with frank warren now

i am confused

Sky have a deal with Frank Warren's Sports Network so when Amir Khan left Frank Warren ,his contract with Sky apparently dissolved too.

Been looking to see if ITV have 'bought' Amir's rights but can't see anything confirmed.
