    but this is worth more than a regular sky show.

    Also does anyone think this could be a ploy by SKY to get Froch's team to lower their demands or do people think Froch on SKY is dead in the water??

    These guys have seen Froch, they know what he brings, they know it's exactly what casual and hardcore fans love, so what's their ****ing problem?

    Once again, I'd like to at least see another source because I haven't heard this news anywhere..

    I love Froch, but Khan/McCloskey is bigger than Froch/Johnson and you know it :deal

    Remember Clev/Braehmer, Mitchell/Murray was going to be on regular Sky Sports on April 9th. Then Mitchell/Murray fell apart and gets replaced by DeGale/Groves, card gets moved to May 21st and the card is on PPV? :huh

    Khan/McCloskey with an average undercard (apart from Macklin-Gevor) is PPV :huh

    But there's no room at the inn for Froch. Twats.

    Utter bollocks by sky again. I'd much rather watch Froch vs Johnson which will probably be a war than Khan ko Mcloskey within 4. As usual though sky aren't arsed about proper fans an would rather cater for the twice a year viewers who think Khan is the be all an end all.

    agree froch v johnson on sky should be free just to wet the appetite of fight fans who have not seen froch fights with haye retiring by the end of the year and khan who hopefully will be knocked out this year froch at least has a few fights left in him against world class fighters...
    more to do with froch not being with the uk top promoters i think.

    Khan/McCloskey is a ****ing homecoming/stay busy fight. No way is it more significant than Froch/Johnson.

    I don't exactly think it's something that is negotiable. Amir's Team has a contract with Sky and they have a set amount which are all PPV, I'm sure.

    If anything, is it not Hennesey's fault?
