Amir Khan/Paul McCloskey To Be Shown on Primetime - Confirmed

Was Bradley v Alexander on HBO? I cant imagine them being too happy with how that turned out.

Yeah its very strange. I know Sky releases numbers like how much money is generated but they dont publically release the numbers

 

any chance of Channel 5 taking the fight?

 

Too late. They promised massive purses to both fighters for their next fights to get them in the ring.

 

What a ****ing shambles... I hope neither fighter picks up an "injury" before Saturday as I'll still be watching the fight regardless but this has been a disaster. Frank Warren will be laughing his arse off, i guess we know what will be the main feature in his column in next Saturdays paper.

 

Not exactly.

It's quite possible it will be shown. However there is one huge change, the planned concept of this was to build into the Bradley bout. Now that isn't happening. Whatever offer SKY make to TK for it if they indeed do will certainly be considerably less to the point where I would question whether the event would be PPV considering it will be airing at 4.30am

 

Such a big mess, Khan in the future should just stay in the U.S and let GBP and HBO do their thing, the fact is without Warren in UK is hard to put a decent PPV card together.

Khan promotions and Hatton promotions have been found out as amateurs.

 

You're right money does talk and with their's Sky have been saying very loudly and very clearly that they have no faith in Khan as a ppv star. They turned him down for ppv against Paulie - a name opponent with a decent British card on the same day that could have acted as chief support. They went with him against Maidana because Warren had ridiculously loaded card with Klitschko-Chisora given equal billing to Khan-Maidana in the original plan. And now this mess. As long as Khan believes he's too good for Sky Sports he's got serious problems.

 

No doubt. His probably getting all the details from sky telling him what a bunch of jokers team Khan really are.

 

Is that Hatton-Pac figure right Liger?

 

I think so. I remember reading that number a while ago and Pacman's camp were a bit miffed that Hatton demanded 50% when the PPV numbers from the UK ended up being so low.

 

How do you know it is on Primetime? Not confirmed anywhere.....

 

:good

Surprising eh?? I know Mayweather sells a great fight but I'd have thought Hatton-Pac would have done a lot better than that.

 

Yeah very. Not sure if the whole unbeaten thing and the lacklusture comeback fight just turned people off the hitman. The whoe buildup for the PBF v Hatton fight was something else though. As soon as the fight was made everyone was hyped.

 

A new low...

If it's £15 on primetime , there's no chance im paying to watch it!

 

The sport is embarrassing sometimes.
