    They said it did better than the McCloskey fight. It's down to Khan's Team to decide whether they want to announce the numbers, not Primetime.

    Which doesnt prove anything. Why did team khan agree to release the mcCkloskey numbers but not the Judah numbers.

    So it's Primetimes fault for existing? Sky need to up their game. The healthy competition between HBO and Showtime is why we have so many good fights are made in the US. If they don't step up, more and more fights go Primetime.

    The fact they've outbid Sky to get another PPV tells a story mate!

    Healthy competition. Just remind me of how many of the huge fights in the US end up on showtime. FFS even Arum has ran back to HBO after ditching them last time around. HBO run things and showtime pick up the scraps.


    No it doesnt. It just shows that Sky were not willing to pay what GBP wanted. Sky could blow primetime out of the water when it comes to money but for whatever reason they didnt think this fight was worth the going rate.

    and had nothing to do with showtime PPV performing below expectations considering the amount of FTA exposure?

    Graanted he got a great deal but lets not kid ourselves into thinking showtime are real compitition to HBO when there is no evidence to suggest otherwise.

    the going rate would be what GBP thought the fight was worth and Sky probably thought otherwise so let it slide. Mayweather v Ortiz will be huge in the US but over here nobody knows who the **** ortiz is and most people know maywather as the arrogant ***** that beat Ricky Hatton.

    You have to remember they are in the subscription business and like it or not Mayweather v Ortiz not on Sky isnt going to lose them subscribers.

    Blame it on the black man, this is universal trend in the UK. Who brought Heavyweight Boxing back to skysports PPV..? David Haye.

    He's made them more money than any other fighter of the past 3 years.

    Seriously who brought back Heavyweight boxing to sky PPV..? Who got them Millions and Millions of buys..? And who is the only person who can do that again..? David Haye.

    This nation has a ingrained and install problem, they are institutionalised racism.

    People couldn't cope with Audley Harrison on the BBC, they can't cope seeing a young Muslim British ****stani doing well in Amir Khan.

    And now David Haye........
