    I long for the day when boxing goes back to free tv and we can watch the likes of Benn v Eubank, Bruno, McGugan live. The equivalent is now Groves v Gegale, Froch and Khan who would be huge in terms of commercial value and long term success. They should do it and come to ITV and the BBC.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Those channels are not willing to match what they're worth financially in Khan's case, or provide a regular platform for their promoters (Warren, Fat Mick, Hayemaker) to justify putting them on there. They're not willing to do that, so why should the fighters be sold short. ITV wouldn't even show Froch/Taylor live or as live ffs.
