    Wasn't the only reason Haye and Wlad started negotiating because of Palmers campaign?

    whoever it was - khan vs peterson is an average fight. haye vs wlad should have got priority.

    Sky gave Rob a call, asked him to work out how much each fight makes gave him a list of possible undercard fights and told him to do his ****.

    Rob came to the conclusion that Khan/Peterson would be the most viable option financially.

    Jesus Christ how are people coming out with this bull****.

    Sky did not choose Khan over Haye, they chose April 16th over April 30th. They were never going to have a pay per view on the royal wedding weekend.

    What you have to remember is that Adam Smith loves Khan. He actually does.

    I agree they should have honour khan the date but unless its a top undercard no way should wehave to pay for it, so if it was a choice on khan PPV over Haye-Klit its a dog**** decision.

    But its all speculation with no source so pointless really.

    Khan fighting on April 16 was done a few weeks ago so Sky must stick with it.

    Livra Adam Smith deals with the day to day stuff like what is covered on ringside, what undercard fights will be shown, what pundit is working a particular show. The big decisions go through Barney Francis the head of Sky Sports who will of signed a contract with Khans team for the date.

    Anyway the fight was there to be made July 2nd and Wladamir Klitscko is the one that stopped it happening. Not Sky, Khan, Sheafer, Smith, Prince William, Haye, Booth or anyone only Klitscko.

    So, Khan has potential to earn Sky more money throughout his career. Sky aren't going to píss Khan off by overriding his fight with another.

    Besides, Adam Booth said he didn't want Sky to move Khan.
