    Khan just needs to keep winning, listen when Khan fought Maidana and came though that fight, ODH, Richard and HBO must of been rubbing their hands ''That we have a new product/fighter which can take a punch(brandishing reports), and our investment is sound and will pay off''

    :lol:

    Yet Sky were happy to back Khan as a PPV fighter when he got KTFO inside a round and not now, someone needs to get fired. :lol:

    What a load of bull****.

    What make's this worse, is this is only gonna' make Khan's PPV worth ego even worse, thinking whoever doesn't agree with him, GBP are gonna' turn their back on.

    When/If Khan get's a good smack on the jaw in future fight's and is KO'd again, i think he'll regret all this

    Yeah, good luck with that.

    Sort your little tiff out, boys. You're taking money out of your own pockets because of egos.

    Schaefer's overestimating the worth of Khan if he thinks Sky need to cave into him.

    Stupid move.

    The biggest delusion of some of the posters in this thread and Schaeffer himsef, is in thinking anyone beyond a minority actually gives a **** about Boxing in the UK.

    So true, it is a marginalised sport.

    Gotta agree with boxing4eva. You ask people about Khan they say the olympic kid who got knocked out. They say Haye beat the giant. And about Froch they say who?

    Team Khan are dumb as **** all they needed to do is give Sky Sports director £40-50k cash back hand Fra nK W Arren style and the show would go on regardless of undercard.

    Being tight dont get you nothing TK :-:)lol:
     
  12. The sensible move for Boxing fans to make here, is to not support £14.99 PPV's outside Sky Box Office, whatever your thoughts on Sky are, they support and commit to Boxing and bring you Boxing every week. If Khan & GBP realise that outside Sky, PPV's will flop, they will get back in line and keep there mouths shut.

    It is ESSENTIAL boxing fans boycott the next PPV or at least affect the numbers enough.

    It is not good for UK Boxing, if Sky fail.

    Personally there are only two payperview fights at the moment. Pacman/Mayweather and Haye/Klitschko. A Froch homecoming would possibly be a third but a Khan/Judah fight at 4 in the morning is not a payperview fight.
