    Khan can **** off. If he wants to make big PPV money in the UK he needs to do these things:

    1. Fight in the UK
    2. Fight a genuine contender, not guys like McCloskey

    If Khan wants to fight in the USA and he wants PPV money in the UK at 4am he needs to fight Mayweather or Pacquiao. Nobody else.

    If Khan had a clue he'd realise that the UK fans are where the money is for UK fighters. Not the US Fans. The US fans prefer the US boxers.

    Duh.

    Aint Golden Boy wanting to start up a promotions company over here in Europe? If so, pissing Sky off will harm that

    After Shaefer meets the chief exec of Primetime in a prefab on an industrial estate in Milton Keynes and makes thruppence off the Khan-Judah PPV, Amir will be back on Sky. No doubt in my mind.

    Apparently Sky aren't even interested on getting Khan Vs Bradley/Judah on their standard channels either, according to Saj.

    Wow Sky.

    Maybe Khan asked Richard to put some pressure on Sky so Khan can make a deal with them.

    Lets cut the **** here any money Khan makes over here is a bonus, HBO pay Khan his main money now.

    hmmmm ok so now what? Team Khan offer @AmirKingKhan vs @SUPERJUDAH again to sky but this time not on pay per view! sky 1 2 or 3 n guess what

    saj23x Saj Mohamed✔Verified
    Barney Francis (managing Director) and @adamsmithboxing (head of boxing) say they are not interested in it at all.... nt even on normal sky?

    If this is true, then I think Sky are just being ****s.

    Hope Smith stands up to Schaeffer and the rest of his cartel on this one - there are plenty of big fights outside of GBP to keep people interested

    Did Khan appear on Sky more than 5 times? It was ITV who made his name...

    Anyway, GBP are talking bollocks as Primetime and Premier will be distant memories within a matter of a couple of years...

    The only way that would be the case is if they wanted an extortionate fee for being shown.

    Oh, and 'Team Khan' can go **** themselves to, the deluded amateur fools. As Freddy Roach said in the Guardian a month or so back "Amir probably needs to get some more business minded people around him"

    I don't understand where that image came from. He has said **** before, but not constantly, and this isn't something he would talk **** about. He could get in trouble if he did.
