    April 16th bout doesn’t feature on upcoming list of bouts​

    In yet another twist to the Amir Khan v McCloskey pay-per-view saga, Sky Sports have removed the contest from their upcoming fight schedule. The bout was placed on the list for Sky Sports 3 yesterday when news filtered out that bout was no longer a Sky Box Office event and its now been totally removed.

    It seems there may be more to this story than first anticipated, with the fights screening rights still uncomfirmed with just eight days left until the fight at the MEN Arena in Manchester, where Khan will defend his WBA light-welterweight title for the fourth time.

    Not listed on Schedule either: http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12947,00.html

    What's going on?

    Oh no. Hopefully it's nothing and they are just shuffling things around, possibly to put it on Sky 1?

    I meant Sky Sports 1. It really would be something if they were to put it on Sky 1 :)

    It's been off since mid afternoon yesterday, they only had it listed as SS3 for a bit. Hopefully it's nothing.

    The fight schedule circulated to press by Golden Boy, Khan and Hatton yesterday also has Sky Sports as the broadcaster.

    17,000 tickets have been sold. How is that bad? Haye/Harrison had tickets up till the last week.
