Maybe it's just his suit, but Khan looks thinner than I remember in those pics.

 

actually, its only about 53 hrs to the fight. thats closer to 2 days than 3.

 

Primetime are providing the Khan vs McCloskey fight to the armed forces and navy personnel on active duty free on BFBS TV

Good news at last.

 

That is great if it's true, Khan needs to fire this guy, he is only out for himself, if he had any thought of Khan's long term branding he would stuck with the Sky Sports 3 option, in the long run that would of paid off with Khan going to have much bigger fights in the future where a good fan base(could of increased from a Sky Sports 3 viewing see it as a freebie for the fans as it is only a keep busy fight)from Sky and HBO over in U.S.

Asif lacks this thinking and has to go after this poor handling in the last week.

 

what did Hearn say?

 

Totally agree the handling of this has been shocking. Any man and his dog could have done a better job. It's not even general common sense to stay on Sky Sports for the new fans alone not just for his performance but also people thinking he actually cares about the fans as he's still fighting even though it's not PPV. MASSIVE oppurtunity missed IMO.

 

has anyone seen any advertising for this fight being on primetime??

 

I had videos of everything but they all corrupted when I downloaded them. :?

 

There's footage of the press conference on hatton tv but i don't know how to put it on here so il just post the link. Its 10 mins long, i've not watched it yet going to watch it now.

slappy what did hearn say??

 

I mean it's not like this fight is only Khan's big pay day Allah/God has given him alot and I know Khan himself would of stuck with SS3. No need to pass the Sky option you should never mess with broadcasters you can never win, you should also stay on thier good side as they now do direct business with Khan Promotions as GBP let Khan keep all PPV money he makes in the U.K this must of been in the contract with GBP.

So this sort term thinking from Asif just shows the guys poor work, if I was Khan I would drop him as he is clearly out of his depth.

 

Basically the Khan Promotions were unprofessional and incompetant.

He also tore into De La Hoya when he said that Khan moved the coverage from SKY Sports III to Primetime "for the fans"
