    I'll be surprised if this does happen.

    I hope it doesn't mean Sky put the Mayweather vs Mosley fight on ppv instead either.

    Khan fought loads on terrestrial ITV prior to signing with SKY for a bunch of half arsed pay per views. Amazingly the blockhead from Bolton seems to have forgotten this as well as the fact that he hates on the British public every chance he gets. It will be nice to see Paulie fight on terrestrial TV in the UK though, by far the bigger name of the two - for now at least.

    They'll probably repeat it on Sunday evening as they have done in the past with some of Froch's fights.

    lol. U think this was out of choice. If Khan was making money from PPV he would still go down the PPV route however his PPV numbers are weak. U think David Haye would wanna fight on terrestrial tv when the dude is making serious money off PPV? Hell No.

    Khan killed the PPV audience when he fought bums on PPV. Going to Sky wasnt the problem. The problem was going PPV way too early. Not all Khan's fault but he should of told Frank Warren PPV wasnt the best way to go but he just thought about the revenue. After the Prescott defeat Khan should of been just on Sky Sports and then built his fanbase that way.

    Now it looks like he cant do the deal with Sky and doesnt have many options. I would like to know how much ITV are willing to pay for a Khan v Paulie fight?

    Excellent news and it's simply not being applauded enough!!

    If Khan can do this there's no reason why others can not...
