    Default Khan could have signed for ITV.

    If he was really thinking about the fans he could have signed for ITV im sure they would have lapped up the fight. I believe he's not making any money on this fight now so what would he lose?

    I think Team Khan did offer it to ITV. Not sure why they didn't take it. Scheduling I think.

    Britain's Got Talent starts this weekend so they didn't have anywhere to put it.

    Khan has certainly been forced to look like a prat for this fight.

    There's a film on ITV1 at 2305 so I can't see why it couldn't have been shown then, with build-up before on ITV4.

    Sounds like a smokescreen to me, either by Khan or ITV who just didn't want it. The got good numbers for the Hennessy cards on ITV4 and incredible ratings for the darts and dumped both, remember, for cheapo Minder repeats.

    I think people are too quick to blame Amir for everything.

    It was Sky who backed out of the PPV in what I believe to be an unprecedented decision and he and his team decided that they weren't happy with Sky's behaviour and chose to go to Primetime instead.

    He's lost money as a result so I guess it was a principled decision on his part.

    I think the terrestial companies in the UK are shit for boxing generally repeatedly snubbing fighters, most notable Carl Froch.

    The best scenario would be if the Primetime card does better than expected and they start to establish themselves as a genuine alternative.

    Fuck Sky and their costly subscription services. Anything that would break the stranglehold of Rupert Murdoch's empire would be very welcome.

    I like Murdoch and admire him , his Sky subscription is reasonable in my opinion , £65 per month for HD. Whats expensive about that ?

    haha that made me lol.

    Only heavy hitters like Preme and his national average wage or myself on taxpayers fundings could afford such an extravagance.

    The extra tenner for HD is a joke, I won't subscribe until they ditch that; I'll stick with my fuzzy BT Vision.
