    :lol: Am I getting money? Am I getting the paycut? No, so why would I care?

    All I cared about was seeing the countdown shows this week more than it being moved to another TV Station.

    Upset :lol::lol::lol:

    Yes, I'm sitting right now getting upset and have tears running down my eyes seeing all these nasty comments criticising Team Khan :|. Please, no more!

    If I was upset about it, I wouldn't criticise them myself now, would I?

    The reason people will still moan and cry about it is because that's what's happening. Sure it's up to team Khan and they can do what they like but if people are unhappy with the way they're screwing up young Amir's PR then they're gonna criticise them and not just a say "ah it's been a day.. let's let them off.."

    9/2 odds on Khan to win in rounds 1-3.

    100 bet would return 550. :think

    Laz, why do you get so annoyed then whenever someone mentions the TV thing? It's being brought up a few times and you're like "can we move on please". It's obviously affected you.

    And given how much you adore Khan why are you not buying the PPV?

    McCloskey's not that much of a bum. This isn't even that much of a mismatch. Paul McCloskey is a legitimate contender as far as I'm concerned. If Khan does blow him out early then full credit and he'd deserve a lot of praise.

    I can understand that, but there's been three big threads on this and people have talked about it pretty openly and the same people are talking about the same issue over and over like a broken record.

    Yeah, people are free to talk about it, I'm not stopping them but all I'm saying is just to move on from it because most of us understand what's happened.

    It's a ****ed up decision, but we shouldn't exactly dwell over it.

    Yeah it's the same issue, but I provided some interesting figures from a reputable source that hadn't been brought up before.

    The more you read the more you wonder how the team khan could be so stupid. The only thing I can think off is they called sky's bluff and sky told them where to go. An absolute absurd decision which makes no sense at all. Are there any positives to ditching SS3 for Primetime? I can't think of any!!

    McCloskey is not a bum at all. Khan is just a stylistic nightmare for him. Any of the other top fighters in the division would be more suited for McCloskey than Khan. It's not just about measuring both fighters level/ability and working off that, you have to factor in their mesh of styles.

    That was something new, yeah, which is good stuff, but otherwise, I've read a lot of the same things, which once again there's nothing wrong with, but as I said, we shouldn't dwell over an issue we can't do much about.

    You should go and sort the General Forum out who are always dwelling on things concerning Mayweather and Pacquiao :good

    True and you're right the styles don't match too well. But I don't think they suggest an early stoppage. Paul doesn't get hit that much and he rarely stands square on like Oisin ***an, Graham Earl and Dimitry Salita did.

    On any normal week, this would be the most ridiculous denial on the board.

    You ought to be thanking Hagman.
