This is an interesting thread, and an interesting internet discussion in general. It's interesting because as always with Amir Khan, so many are so quick to jump on him and gleefully blame him for being greedy, arrogant, smug etc.

To my knowledge what Sky have done has never been done before, at least in Britain. To ditch a PPV a week before it's due to take place and then offer not a first channel replacement, or even a second but the chance to stick it on a minor channel is a huge snub to a reigning world champion and one of the most exciting sporting stars in the country.

Khan proved precisely that he wasn't about greed by making a principled decision to cut his losses and negotiate with a minor company rather than agree to a rather humiliating offer.

If it was Carl Froch treated this way everybody would be praising him for his integrity and saying fuck sky.

As Jaz and Fenster (two of the only board members who consistently make sense even if they aren't smart enough to realise the truth about Noah yet) have said, this only hurts Khan in the long term if he loses.

He truly is in a no win situation with his haters. When he said he felt he could beat Mayweather (although he never really even did) he was labelled arrogant, and a tosser, when he suggested that his best chance to fight a legend would be to wait for them to get a little past their prime he was labelled cowardly and yellow.

I think the Khan threads mostly show up the spite and hatred a lot of people have inside them more than anything else.

I hope his PPV is more succesful than expected. It would be great for boxing and British sport in general if a rival service could take off and offer the chance for more fight cards to be screened. Maybe Khan can be the one to kick it off.
