Amir Khan/Paul McCloskey To Be Shown on Primetime - Confirmed

Is that where the 50 buys came from? :think

 

Simple they are thinking bollocks to the Khans he is not a big moneymaker for Sky so they lose nothing.

 

Your stupid if you really think this, do you really think Sky would choose Khan vs TBA (at the time) over Haye vs Klitschko???

 

If there where only 50 bars in ireland this place might be a bit more peacefull.

Your probably right though. Do primetime even have the rights to broadcast in Ireland? Any chance RTE will get the irish rights?

 

Its not nonsense and if you actually kept up with negotiations etc as they progress you would realise this, instead you disagree with anything that doesn't conform to your own blinkered views. Open your eyes, sonny.

 

your talking aobut other posters over reacting ...but to say you dont care when you ve doen a thread about it and upadated it everyday etc is a bit silly is it not? also unfortuantly khan is not the superstar he likes to think ,that is obvious if his ppv buy rate were decent then they wouldent have had this problem :roll:

sky are part of the problem ,.but khan is the major player in this problem

 

Where did you get that from? £9.95 is ok i guess if they show a good amount of the undercard.

 

Khan vs Bradley doesn't really ''grab'' anyone outside the boxing fans though, certainly not in the way the Hatton/Mayweather fight did.

Perhaps Sky have realised the error of their ways and are determined now to utilise PPV for big fights only. Khan vs bums like Prescott and journeymen like ***an shouldn't be on PPV.

Khan vs Bradley isn't likely to be a barn burner, it won't sell and Khan probably gets beaten. Not a brilliant investment from Sky, is it?

 

Laz, why should SKY put a fight on PPV, at 4.30am.. against a guy which has no cross over appeal, and an event which has lost a significant amount of it's promotional build up from the Khan's no being on SS for the Mccloskey fight.

It would not sell unless attached to another event earlier in the evening.

 

Yeah, not sure whats gone on there and hopefully it all gets resolved so Froch gets a bigger TV audience in the UK.

 

Prescott and Maidana would do better numbers than Bradley. Styles make fights and Bradley's last performance in a 'big fight' was a shocker.

Who is buying Khan v Bradley at 4am. Nobody!

I'm sure that will grab the attention of the masses who dont know primetime exists lol.

 

Nope i think they wanted both, they had already commited to Khan at the time and told Haye to find another date (royal wedding and ****). If khan hadnt been on sky then Haye Klit could have negotiated for a date easier as April would be less stacked.

At the end of the day i dont care no more cause the big fight got made, Im not too fussed about this khan fight but would like to see him V Bradley so hope this dosnt **** that about.

Im not saying its solely skys fault, theyve just been sucked into the **** world of negotiated ego driven boxing fights but they could have handled things better.

If they hadnt made a shambles from Harrison/Haye I dont think this would have been half as probmatic. They need to make clear what they expect in future. Either a massive fight or a name with a good card. Failing that it wont be on PPV - that way the boxer/his team cant complain if the PPv falls through having been aware ahead of time

 

Doubt it. There isn't much interest in this fight in Ireland outside of boxing fans, as far as i can tell.
