    I PRAY it's not on ITV, because I hate the commentator's on it and I'd be buying the PPV on SKY that night regardless, so I hope it get's done on SKY.

    I've been saying this for over a month, yet according to some on here just because Vali and Khan have both said it's on Sky Box Office then it must be, doesn't matter whether Sky have agreed, TK decides what goes on SBO!

    Sky are cautious. They know it's very likely to be a Prescott style demolition job. They stung customers before with that shite.

    Well not exactly. If they knew for sure it was going to be Prescott style demolition then they would probably accept TK's demands and sign it, Sky don't particularly care whether Khan wins or loses only that it's entertaining.

    The reason it isn't yet signed is pretty much the same old story, TK's monetary demands are not realistic considering the time of night it's on and in combination with the numbers he pulled in on SBO (at UK primetime) last time. At times you would think the TK management team live in a fantasy world where Amir Khan is the UK Mayweather. It might still get done, but If I was a betting man I'd say it's going to be SS1

    Yep. Only after watching both HBO and ITV coverage did I realise it was the commentator's that made the fight ****. I was actually worried from rounds 1-6 solely based on what the ITV commentator's were saying.

    If Sky get this we'll see the PPV at £19.95.

    I'm convinced of it.
