    Clev vs Braehmer was still a 50-50 fight though. Does anyone really know who Tony Bellew is?

    The general public who buy it will be more pissed off if they see Bellew sparked in 2 rounds than if Clev and Braehmer has a solid 12.

    Fact remains though, swapping Braehmer for Bellew (or Braehmer for anyone) does not effect the PPV sales from Warren or SKYs point of view so it was always going to remain a PPV show.....as I said yesterday!!

    was Macklin & Crolla really going to effect Khans PPV sales?

    Sky set a precident. A very good one to ensure quality control. If they hadn't found a decent replacement it should have gone to Sky Sports.

    But Bellew is good. I will watch and pay now.

    I didn't mention Khan-McCloskey, I'm talking about Saturdays card and the fact it was never going to get moved from PPV on the back of Braehmer pulling out. All they ever needed was DeGale-Groves and Cleverly vs. other.


    And TBH, SKY didn't set a precident because you are supposed to be bound by precidents and that is clearly not the case here. They made a one off decision in a certain situation and will probably judge each case on its merits rather than being bound to one course of action every time theres a pull out on a PPV card....thats what I'd do!!!

    B.S., this is complete & utter double standards! No way is this a more worthy PPV event than the Khan/McCloskey fiasco. A 1st world title paper defense of the worthless WBO belt against a domestic level opponent, followed by the domestic dust-up with Groves/De Gale.

    PPVs are worth what they sell, not what the belts that go along with the fights are "worth".

    You think that Premier Sports is overpriced?

    Clev vs Bellew is even off now, but I bet this still won't go to SS3, Sky the double standards :lol:

    They won't take this off PPV, even if Clev doesn't fight.

    Sky know not to **** Frank off, but that still doesn't give them any right to treat Khan like ****, especially after letting this stay on PPV.

    Sky Sports chief already told Khans team they will not air a fight between Bradley and him or even Judah or Guerrero.

    Basically Sky don't want Khan, even though Bradley vs Khan would be for all the belts at 140 baring the IBF in a super unification bout.
