Golden Boy may sever ties with Sky

They must be sick of Khan and folk like this Saj chancer conducting their business in public. Bottom line to me is that they have not forgiven Khan for the pathetic shambles surrounding the McCloskey fight. If Khan was smart, or even if he had smart people around him, he'd have seen the bigger picture and bitten the bullet on that one. He seems a nice enough guy, and is a good boxer, but he's clearly not the sharpest and is surrounded by amatuers.

 

Whilst we all may speculate as to why Khan is not on Sky, we do not know all of the facts regarding the situation however team AK need to sort this issue out after the Judah fight...I mean there is only so many fights AK can have on Primetime before being completely unnoticed by the general public....at the end of the day when all is said is done SKY is the big dog....Primetime are and will always be in Sky's shadow!!

 

There's no way Team Khan would've accepted the Bradley fight being on normal Sky. They took the McCloskey fight to Primetime to be on PPV for ****s sake. It's all about Amir's ego and bargaining power.

Sky are ****s for putting a british title fight on PPV, though. Saving boxing? Come off it you quilts.

 

Ryan's fight with Alvarez wasn't mentioned last night with no details of the delayed coverage. I wonder if Golden Boy have pulled it of Sky. :nono

 

They did mention it at the end.

 

:|:|:|:|

Froch left Primetime for which reason again? That article should be translated to 'Please let Ami back on Sky'. They arent perfect, but they're the best we have by a long way. IMO Sky were right to pull the plug on the Dudey PPV as it was a pretty meaningless fight against.

I do think they should have tied to get him back for the Judah fight as it's the second best fight he could have made IMO. But i dont no the ins and outs so i cant say they should have done things differently.

Khan needs sky a lot more than the other way round. Amir, Vaz, and GB should know this.

 

You're right mate, they didn't mention it at the end but it was before the ringwalks for Dallas/Price.

 

the mccloskey card was **** poor id do the same if i was sky

 

Good to see Richard Schaefer using the full force and weight of GBP to back Khan, I think Khan has always got a raw deal from Sky, Fighting on Primetime is not ideal and Khan is not exactly going to starve if he doesnt fight on Sky but Sky should show Khans fights again.

If Sky dont, then GBP wont let Sky show GBP in the UK, Oscar spoke about a special deal with Primetime, Dont be shocked if GBP buy into Primetime and invest millions to expand and improve it.

 

Good to see you're as deluded as ever, Maxwell.

 

I dont know if you work for Robert Maxwell or sky but you seem overly anti-Primetime, I dont get it? They are showing a fight that people want to see because the biggest network has had a dispute with Khan.

They should be applauded for filling the void, Its not ideal in the long run but Richard Schaefer has said in categorical terms to Sky "You are with Khan or against Khan". Its a clear ultimatum to sky, Get in line or be boycotted for Golden boy fights.

 

Khan has always got a raw deal from sky. Where do you get this rubbish from? I think you will find he was always paid pretty good money from Sky. Sky dumped him from PPV for one fight and now all of a sudden that means they have always given him a raw deal.

LOL at the GBP investing millions into primetime. honestly mate, that is never gonna happen. what planet are you living on?

Richard Schaefer is speaking about a TV market which he doesnt fully understand.

Himself and GBP seem to think primetime is much bigger then it actually is. If you think primetime is gonna become the home of GBP then your deluded.

 

it is clear as day that Khan wants big ppv dollars no matter who he fight at this stage

Watch the first few minutes of that, Oscar spoke about a "special" deal with Primetime, He compared Sky to HBO and Primetime to Showtime, I really do think they will work out somekind of exclusivity for Primetime to show GBP and perhaps GBP will even inject millions of dollars to revamp Primetime.

GBP is a financial and boxing behemoth in every sense of the word, Khan has been nothing short of a God send for Primetime because he has brought the full unequivocal backing of Golden boy with him.

They think Primetime is like the UK version of Showtime, Its a slight exaggeration but who else is there that does boxing PPV in the UK? GBP wants to position Primetime and market them as the Showtime of the UK, They have the money to easily do so if they choose.

 

It's late so I don't have time to write a proper reply to this, so all I have to say is dear god never, ever, go into Business.
