    I got the impression that Team Khan chose primetime over Sky Sports 3 because they were going to get more money

    Anyone arguing that this isn't a 100% stupid and quite frankly, ridonkulous decision is obviously an idiot or a member of Team Khan but really, who cares?

    I'll still be watching the fight and I really couldn't care less how much Khan is getting paid.

    This fight even with the original under-card does not belong on a PPV.

    I don't blame this on Khan one bit. Its his management faults and Sky's to a lesser extent, one week away from his fight he finds out he will be working for free due to other under card fighters pulling out. He had reasons to pull out of the fight at this point but he didn't.

    To stay focused he did the smart thing and stayed out of the mess and let his team handle it. He said he will look at the whole issue after the fight.

    Too much talk about PPV's, TV stuff etc and not enough about the actual fight itself. I couldn't care less about how much money was involved.

    He was getting paid 250K which is not the same as making. After training and other expenses paid he would end up with a lot lesser than 250K.

    Eddy hearn has every right to **** on this dumb move by khan. Anyone with a half a brain cell knows this is ******ed. Potentially ruining a relationship with sky for the sake of maybe a few extra £££ which khan doesn't need is nothing but idiotic.

    For team khan to actually try and justify this is laughable!!!
