    My predictions about how this saga will unfold:

    • The fight gets moved to Primetime PPV.
    • Khan, furious about the way his team have handled the situation, tries to fire them. But they insist on honoring their contracts so Khan hires a hitman to eliminate them.
    • With all the negativity as a result of this, Golden Boy sever their ties with Khan. However, all is not lost as Frank Warren steps it to rescue the situation. Amir re-signs with Frank, Sky agree to televise the fight, Magic Mark Burdis is flown in and the fight goes ahead :happy

    Then McCloskey knocks him out.

    Aren't HBO handling that? Or could they not show it now?

    I wonder if sky will hold this against him in the future. I mean he ditched them for ITV for the Paulie M fight then came back. Will they back him again? Or will they go after Froch?

    This has finally pushed me over the edge with Khan. I was pissed off when he moved to Sky Box Office before he had actually achieved anything, I lost respect for him when he got banjoed by Prescott, I was angry with him when he took shots at Carl Froch when he lost to Kessler, his persistent talk of fighting Mayweather and moving up to Welterweight annoys me, but this, this has really pissed me off and I really hope that he goes onto Primetime does 20,000 buys getting thoroughly embarrassed and I hope he loses to McCloskey, if not McCloskey then to Bradley.

    I have tried my best to like Khan I really have and I am happy to admit that I am patriotic and support British Boxers but this **** I cannot stand for. Cmon McCloskey banjo this cowboy rubbing ****.

    I wouldn't be surprised. Bradley is next if he gets past McCloskey, but I don't think a fight with Bradley would do massive PPV numbers tbh, so I don't think they'll be missing out on much in the near future. And they won't be desperate, with Haye v Klitschko in the same sort of timeframe.

    Honestly, I don't care if you dislike the guy, but if you seriously think it's KHAN that's doing all of this himself, then you're blind.

    He's fookin' sitting back enjoying himself and training. It's not down to him. Use your ****ing brain.

    He put the ****wits in control.

    I really hope he's learned his lesson, I like the kid.

    I know it's not him but his teams actions disgust me and on occasion Khan's actions **** me off in all.

    I will give you an analogy to compare, Max Schmeling was a nice guy but he was a puppet for Nazi propaganda, if he had beaten Joe Louis in their second fight the Nazi's would have really trumped about it like no tomorrow, so you know what thank **** Joe Louis did him.
