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

Team Khan
Rumors are going around that the fight as been called off from PPV purse issues. We have not heard this from a reliable source so until you do ignore it.

 

where on facebook?

 

Phew!

 

Tbh even though there saying dnt believe it i can see this happening.....**** me i feel for Paul if this is the case.

 

i was only chatting to the fella who runs irishboxer.ie earlier and i was saying ive a feeling khans gonna pull out with a "injury"

 

Anyone got any links to any fresh info on this fight?

 

Better be ****ing pulling my leg. I've planned my whole weekend around the Khan fight, and will be staying for the fight. I'll be FUMIN to see this bout postponed.

 

When you hear maybe's and Rumours it's normally means it's off hey look at every maybe about wlad and is always true lol. Not to fussed I hope they pull Bradley forward to may. I know Bradley was not happy waiting and was about to say no so this would be the perfect Time to pull out.

 

i reckon he is gonna pull out

 

If it is called off then my condolences to all the people who made the traveling arrangements to Manchester. This is one serious bummer if true.

 

Tbh i'm not sure thats a good idea mate. He's just coming to end of a training camp and tapering down. May's only next month and won't happen anyways but yeah your right i think it will be off if these rumors are surfacing.

 

source?

 

Ahh yes. I think I read an article on the Scene of Boxing the other day, about the impending negeotiating problems Khan and Bradley will have in the summer. Apparently Bradley is not happy about having sit idle until July, and because of this, he's planning on being firm at the negotiating table.

Stocks, your theory may not be too far-fetched. Instead, they could bring Bradley-Khan forward to May/June.

 

I really can't see them calling the fight off. If he does that he may as well burn his British passport and just live in America fulltime because he'll never make another penny from the British market. Not only would Sky banish him but its hard to see there being the fan interest to justify anybody other than Primetime going in for him.

I feel for him in a way because in his mind he's given up a million dollars for no upside - SkySports 3 won't get that many more viewers than what the ppv would have done and most of the additional viewers would have ended up seeing the fight when it was repeated anyway. But he was warned that a) there was no great demand to justify a homecoming fight and b) he wasn't spending enough money on it to make it a success.

Somehow he thought a UK fight would be a cash cow but FFS he's already making 1million on stateside fights, no way is Khan a big enouh star to realistically make that sort of money in the UK. He should have fought on the April 9th card where he would get to fight a bigger name for more money and in front of more viewing fans.
