I am exactly the same. Only way you can protest is with your pockets. This fight should have happened years ago and I don’t want to line Khans pockets now
Their toothless displays against Crawford put the nail in the coffin for me.it is a sport after all and these two have downed tools at the highest level so having to pay extra for the privilege is a definite no-no for me.
I think this is a master stroke from Sky. Probably doesn’t cost them that much, it’s at a time of year there’s nothing else going on and it’ll catch people who might not fork out 20 quid for themselves but might head down a boozer or their mates’ house. By the day a lot of people will be saying to themselves “oh why the hell not”. Couldn’t care less who wins but will almost certainly get caught up in it by fight night.
Thankfully I’m at work. Wouldn’t have paid for it anyway, not lining Amirs pockets as a retirement fight after ducking it for so long.
I think you hit the nail on the head. Sky will give the full throttle in the build up to the fight and there will probably be a lot of people who press the red button. Me included.
Has it been confirmed that Khan has actually signed the contract for the fight? If it actually happens -- and that's still a very big if at this stage -- and it takes place at 147, I think Khan stops Brook due to being able to make 147 far more comfortably than Brook and due to being slightly less shot than Brook.
Eddie Hearn couldn't make it happen Ben Shalom pulled it off with Sky. I hope with SKYsports it sell more than DAZN!
