Khan vs McCloskey moved from Sky PPV to Sky Sports 3

[Master]

Wait a minute, wasn't this PPV the reason the Haye v Klit talks broke down in January

Go figure!

You are right but looks like Wlad would not have been fit anyway so maybe Haye would have fought Vitali first, and we did not have to see the Solis fiasco.

Khan will lose around a 1million by sky moving it to sky sports3, thats what i read in paper today.

He should fight on ITV then for free and get more commercial deal like Brute aftershave.

Im kinda pleased by this as it will maybe bring him down a peg or two,smug,arrogant c*nt!

The Fury vs Rapman fight is off, the big R won't travel from the states.

Khan's purse has also now dropped from over £1m to just £250k!

Say what you want about Haye, he sure knows how to promote a fight. Compare the coverage he gets to how often you've seen Khan on the TV recently. The average casual fan probably doesn't even know this fight is on.

Bad timing taking Mckloskey now too, undefeated, but unheard of. I think it will be a tricky points win for Khan.

All fighters that think that there fight should be automatically PPV no matter what the opposition should take a not of this. Haye v Audley was a joke, Sky should never have made that PPV.

Anyone heard about this card moving onto Primetime?

It's off Sky completely, they said Khan's team rejected the move to SkySports 3. I read they're trying to do a deal with primetime. Not great timing to lose your tv deal a week before the fight

[somnolence]

What a mess. Bad move by Khan for not accepting the step down (and publicity) to be on Sky Sports 3. With an impressive performance it'd have reeled in so many casual fans.
With it on Primetime only fanatics will watch, especially with there being such little time to hype and advertise the fact it'll be on there.
Even if they're offering more to broadcoast it, better to get the exposure and the offer with Sky next time.
I won't be paying for this one. Wouldn't have on Sky either, mind.

[Fenster]

SKY PPV to regular SKY to Primetime...

Babestation will be next.

[Mark TKO]

Primetime ?? Is that the one Froch fights on. Well looks like I won't get to see this one at all. Farcical


Bad move all round. As I said from the start he should have fought Prescott to sell it !!

For those interested this is a key point discussed (twice due to techology failuere) on Fantana's first Radio Show that came out yesterday

[porkypara]

If the fight goes to prime time only a very few hard core Khan fans are going to watch this fight as most pubs dont get primetime event in my experience.

[erics44]

ill get it, what else have i to do on a saturday night?

bet sky are a bit disapointed with all the work they have done with khan recently

fury isnt fighting at all is he? surely they could have found someone with a relatively high profile considering it is on a khan card

They offered him 40k to uppercut himself for 4 rounds, but he turned it down.

Khan's team are idiots. They got greedy and got what they deserved. They offered the fight to ITV but they turned it down so they've whored themselves off to Primetime. This is the stupidest thing his team could've down. Burning bridges with Sky, as they may well have done with the nonsense, is going to cost them millions in the future and I think they're going to regret it. They should fuck off Amir Khan and replace him with Carl Froch.
