Sky to blame for the Wlad/Haye fight not happening?

[Mark TKO]

I was on the fence about who was to blame and though I blamed Haye last time I could see why he pulled out when Setanta wa son verge of collapse - he couldn't risk not getting paid.

But this is Klitschko big time now for me - and I make him an overwhelming favourite so whats he playing at ??

I was just about to say I can see why they dont want to clash with royla wedding though - thousands of potential viewers will be pissed up and fall asleep (not after celebrating wedding but just spending the day in the oub) without pressing the ppv pay button (and a few gay sad ones who will want to watch wedding highlights - but isn't the wedding a Friday not Saturday ??

Khan should come out and say he doesn't want to prevent the fight and miss his April date - might gain him a few more UK fans and lets face it he needs them

i think haye will take him out and i think he knows it

One would think since Golden Boy Promotions has both Khan and the WBA titleholder that they would see that a heavyweight unification bout was a bit bigger deal than Khan vs TBA and they would have helped the deal get made.

Seems to me that July 2nd was a do-able date why object to that? On 1 hand if Wlad didn't fight until July 2nd he could be a little rusty on the other hand if he fought April 30th and then on July 2nd he could be over trained....so I fail to see what the other camp is complaining about.

I'm getting a good laugh from all of you who think Wlad is scared....the styles don't match it's an EASY win for Wlad, easy

so why doesnt he want to fight?

[El Kabong]

He does want to fight, they couldn't get the TV and venues set up correctly because apparently Amir Khan is a bigger deal to Sky than the WBA titleholder

that is a slight posibility, but only very slight

its highly more likely that he doesnt want to fight

[ono]

To be fair, Khan has a HBO date in April aswell, as he has a deal with them, not just Sky. Can't really blame Sky for not wanting to piss Khan off in order to screen a fight that will most likely fall through anyway.

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
