We have the same problem when it all went to sky with Benn and Eubanks and the BBC and ITV giving up. Hatton was the closest big star on the satellite network but even he gained his mainstream support through terrestrial channels as has Khan.
Over here I think it started with Leonard/Hearns and what was then called closed circuit TV. Ray then went on to be the first fighter to earn 100 million in a career.
