I just hope SKY tv dont insult our inteligence and try and pass this off as some type of mega fight.
But then again anything can happen i boxing and if Khan is caught right I still feel he will go!
This isn't an easy fight at all. I don't think anyone has suggested that. Peterson is a very capable boxer. Most people's gripe is that the fight isn't exactly necessary to hold up a mega fight like Wlad vs. Haye.
Maybe easy was not the best way to put it.
Sky are all about money at the end of the day.There must be a good reason this fight is happening rather than the Haye Klit fight.
Have ot got a F$%king clue what that reason is though...

The good reason is simple...
Khan has the tv date with Sky and HBO. Changing to a different date which suits both networks aswell as suiting Khan and his opponent (Peterson in this case) is difficult.
Haye and Wladimir have supposedly been fighting each other for 18 months. I don't blame Sky for not messing Khan about to put on a fight which may or may not end up taking place.
And also, in the long run it makes better financial sense for Sky.
Think about it - Haye - Klitschko PPV
or
Chisora - Klitschko PPV
Haye - TBA PPV
Haye - Klitschko PPV
I know which option i'd go for if i was top brass at Sky. And it would be option that doesn't piss their only other PPV star off.
