    Well I would argue, but it seems others already have.:lol:

    Live on Sky are the fights they are showing.

    The fixture is list is a random list of upcoming 'big fights'. We had mass hysteria here last year when half the forum thought Sky were showing Martinez v Pavlik on the morning of the fight.

    I read and heard that Sky were not going to have two PPV back to back - that is a fact.

    Then Wlad came out with the Royal Wedding was used as an excuse.

    El Clasico on SS1 at the same time, Football First on SS2. As they've been scheduled in advance, I guess they take priority.

    You get all 4 unless you're on BT where I think you only get 1&2.

    I thought that you could subsribe to them individually, with Sky. I may be wrong though.

    I don't think Khan will be working with Hatton promotions again after what's happened to the undercard for this event

    This would go down as one of the least shocking injury pull-outs this year if he does get one before the fight.

    Definitely. Team Khan must be very annoyed.

    Nope - Sky even came out and said that wasn't true. And in the initial announcement Sky placed the blame on Haye not wanting the fight to clash with the royal wedding.

    BT and Virgin only offer Sky Sports 1 and 2 thanks to ofcom forcing sky to let them, that's why you see Man Utd and England games being on SS3 regularly.
