Sky need to come out and explain this Khan mess

Khan should of just took the financial hit if need be and kept the fight on Sky. He can absorb that hit no problem. Really looking forward to hearing what Warren has to say!!!

 

Khan would have been seen by alot more sport fans on Skysports 3 and that would have won him new fans for his next fight. It seems a short sighted move from Team Khan.

I won't be paying £15 on Primetime for a fight that seems a formality.

 

good points....

 

i think the issue, if it's the real issue is the undercard. If it's true, i can't blame Sky for pulling the PPV. On the flipside, as mentioned already, Sky's dropped the ball for announcing the PPV before the opponent was fixed.....we are all boxing fans and would go to most ends to see the sport we love but, why pay £15 for something this weak knowing it's a fight that on paper, should be a given....HOWEVER. **** happens and wouldn't it really **** Khan over if McCloskey catches him? let's be honest, Khan should win but stranger things have happened. If Primetime really is an arse ache to watch, my £15 won't be going towards it so i hope they get their act together.

 

u guys cant shell out 22 dollars? WTF

 

nothing to do with the cost, it's the ballache hassle trying to activate this fledgling sports channel onto our t.v sets. i'll happily pay as i enjoy watching Khan and hope he hasn't underestimated McCloskey but not even that fight as a stand-alone warrants £15 if the undercard is poor?

 

Good Read.

But the problem was bigger than that. According to Saj sky was not interested in the Bradley fight so this played another part in Khan moving to primetime.

 

Although I am really pissed at the actions of Team Khan (aka ****wits) over this, if the deal breaker to pull out from Sky was SS1 and instead of SS3 then Sky should have moved the Barca-Madrid game over to SS3. This shows that Team Khan were seeing the bigger picture and were prepared to take the short-term hit for the higher audience/PR being on SS1. Khan is a british world-champion and should trump any frickin foreign footy match, FFS. Sky have the rights to the primera liga, its upto them which channel they show the games on.

The raised profile on SS1 would have been brilliant for raising the profile of any Bradley/Khan fight instead what do we have? The fighters lose out, Sky lose out and most importantly the fans lose out. A real f*ck up allround!!!

 

not interested in the Bradley fight? WTF? it's a massive fight? ..**** SKY.....I'm about to pull my Sky sub anyhow so if this is true....it's a done deal for me.

 

its his family getting involved.
same people who sacked Ariza over payment issues.

 

I didnt see it that way, its a disgrace that a foreign football match gets the nod over a british boxing world champion.

 

Unless of course, after the farce of Haye/Harrison, Sky have made a conscious decision to stop promoting boxing. I really hope Haye gets absolutely battered against Wlad, the tw*t has done so much damage with that joke of a fight last time out.

 

What has become the most evident in this whole saga is that Team Khan need to stop trying to take care of all of Khan business within the friends & family network and need to step up and act like professionals then a bunch of amateurs hanging onto a professional boxer.
It's admirable that he is including his friends and family in his journey and they all get a free lunch on his back, but he really needs a professional team taking care of these promotions and under cards as the press had been bad from the moment they couldnt agree terms with Peterson to the moment the card just imploded and sky booted them into touch.

Stop being penny pinching $%$^&*% and get the job done properly.

 

Khan always has issues with money.He chose the easiest fight and it's cool for him not to get paid.You lot need to remember Khan chose not to fight Zab Judah,Lamont Peterson and Katsidis all because of money.He then sacks his fitness coach and refuse to pay him saying 'I owe him nothing'.With all due respect let's face it the Khan people are not good business people.I do not buy the Bradley stuff,Khan just doesnt want to fight Bradley and will look for every excuse in the book.

Bottomline is Shah Khan should concentrate on driving taxis.

 

Frank Warren will tell it as it is soon.Watch out for his next column in the Sun.The reason why the undercard fell off was because of these guys disorganisation.Rahman was a last minute call to try and save the card but they wanted a bunch of bums whom they wouldnt need to pay
