    Fight definitely not on either Sky Box Office or Sky Sports, according to sky sports news anyway. Maybe either BBC or ITV could pick it up.

    Whatever the situation is, Team Khan are ****ing amateurs! The 1 half decent sports channel we have and they manage to **** them off so much the fight gets pulled. This has nothing to do with the poor undercard. Sky recently aired Murray vs Who's Gary as a main event, a fight which the Khan - McC card pisses over. I hope ITV pick up the card, but it looks like it'll be on primetime. Be awesome if Premier Sports picked it up tho!

    They've messed up but this has happened all so fast. I mean, ****ing Sky take it off of PPV a WEEK before the fight. Can you imagine how frustrated everyone including team McCloskey must be?

    Nah, it's not about redeeming. Money talks. They'll get back on Sky for the next fight.

    Without TV money, where does this fight go? I was looking forward to watching this on Sky Sports, now it's off. This is looking bad for his future on Sky Sports and in the UK if the fight did not come off at all.

    The fight will happen, no doubt. Channel 5, Primetime and maybe another are involved.

    We'll find out either tonight or tommorow.

    Could see Khan moving to the States (as long as he wins), and fighting for ****stan from here on in!

    When you have ****s like Team Khan and Sky(Murdoch the greedy ****er), something like this can always happen, and yet again the fans lose out

    You were the one who told us that McCloskey was on a set figure anyway. Why should he be bothered?....unless you were wrong?

    Channel 5, really? I'd actually be quite happy with that. At least it would be on terrestrial.

    Where you heard that, Laz?
