Thoughts on this theory?

I just think Sky have paid alot of money to have kahn on there channel and i think they want value for money aswell and not wanting pissed off customers having to pay 15 quid to watch Kahn against some shit fighter, i think Frank had nowhere to go, i mean he is taking a calculated risk which i think could well back fire, sky have probably demanded a challanger like a Murray or a Thaxton for it to be ppv worthy, which in all truth brings nothing to the table if your Kahn and Warren both loose loose situations, dangerous assignments and little reward if goes well, where as Barrera is a name who is on the slide and if Kahn looks good it will ease the pressure a little in terms of fighting top opponents, i think Warren had no choice it all went tits up after him being sparked by Prescott.
