    Why are you still posting here when you've been exposed as a Racist ****?

    Thats not what im saying why not put khan a SNF against peterson and haye on PPV. So if it turns out they've gone with a khan peterson PPV and not haye-wlad(wanting it in july) i hope khan does **** numbers.

    Im a khan fan but surely it would be better to have made his fight a SNF?

    FFS! Khan taking a stay busy fight is bigger than the biggest hw fight since Lewis-Tyson?

    HBO can change their schedule, why not.

    Actually Khan can still fight on April 16th on HBO, just not on Sky Box Office.

    Wouldn't do him any harm to get more exposure on regular sky or ITV.

    Being a PPV or not doesn't make a difference. They wouldn't be able to find a date for Khan where he'd be able to fight 3 times a year and would match a HBO date.

    Remember, HBO and Sky's date both have to be vacant, and April 16th was one of them which both were. I doubt there's very many of those which would comfort both.

    I'd watch Haye-Klit over this anyday, but whether it's a PPV or not really doesn't change anything.

    Amir wants to fight 3 times a year. If he fights in May, he won't be able to, and at this stage, if he's fighting 2 times a year, that's horrible news for a man coming into his prime. He needs as much exposure as he can get.

    It's all Logical understanding. Some things just can't be budged, at it's not down to it being a PPV.

    Tbh I just can't see Sky wanting to do April 30th for a pay per view come what may. That royal wedding is going to suck the life out of anything else happening that week. No red top coverage, no prominent placing on news broadcasts, lots of people taking advantage of the double bank holiday to take a long weekend. Would probably hurt the pay per view quite badly.

    Ah, you make a good point. I just read that Sky don't want 2 PPV's in the same month.

    Ok, time to Twitter Adam Smith.

    I'm not blaming Khan. Just could have been better planning on Sky and Golden Boy's part. Khan was promised a date, not his fault :good

    HBO actually has very little bearing with the Klitchsko-Haye fight as Boente said that he would prefer to have the fight on Showtime. I personally think that it makes sense to have them back to back, IF Sky and Team Khan are willing to meet half way and go on regular Sky.

    I don't care what Boete says, there is no way that the only reason the April date couldn't be made was because of the Khan PPV. Sky are not going to throw away the obscene amount of money they would make from Haye Klit, for a bout which will generate around 20% of that sum.

    You can't expect Golden Boy to run a business around Haye and Klitschos "will they, won't they" fight.
