    Everyone should be watching channel 5 at 10 tonight quite frankly. The Walking Dead is on.

    Nah no way they'll call it off. They've already got enough gate money plus a little extra from HBO. This fight will go ahead even without TV but Primetime will likely put it on at short notice. It ain't gonna cost them much to show it and even if it doesn't make much (which it won't), it's still more than nothing.

    From the masterful genius of Khan Promotions, the biggest idiots in town. Never let a bunch of amateurs run a business in the sports-entertainment industry.

    What I don't understand is, where's McCloskey's promoters? Where's Hatton promotions? Aren't they helping with the problem?

    To be honest though, they seem a lot more calm than us. I think this has blown up to epic proportions on ESB. I just saw a pic of Khan at a BBQ on his mate's Twitter :lol:

    It should be sorted hopefully.

    Channel 5 would be great, gives khan exposure on terrestrial tv which is never a bad thing.

    This how promotions has been such a balls up it is unbelievable Frank Warren will feel so smug right now and rightly so imo letting the Khan family loose has been a disaster they just aren't prepared to stage big sporting events. Negotiating with networks and fighters etc has been left to a bunch of taxi drivers and it makes me angry to be honest because ultimately the fans pay obviously it will damage Khans career but it will damage our enjoyment of one of Britians best boxing talents

    Why should they be helping? Hatton's responsibility is the undercard fights. Eddie Hearn said on Bunce's show that they are not involved in the promotion - it's the Khan's that are promoting.

    Team Khan thought they were Billy Big Bollocks and could handle everything on their own and save a bit of cash in the process. Being shown up as an inept bunch of amateurs now.
