Enlighten me on this Khan/Sky fiasco please

I think it's all 3

I have a feeling after this fight, a lot more horror stories are going to come out about "team Khan"

 

Well they did say Khan's team were looing at getting the legal team out.

I think Sky could argue Khan's team broke the terms and conditions of the contract by not meeting the minimum requirements needed for the undercard.

It's all well and good trying to say Hatton promotions were in charge but Khan's team's responsibility was to provide a card and they failed.

 

SAY WHAAAT? Re-e-wind just a second. Did I hear correctly that McCloskey is earning more than Khan for this fight?

 

Khans relatives v SKY Television in legal scrap. :think
Now that is a mismatch!:yep

You have to think SKY scrutinized the contract before pulling the plug on the PPV.
I seriously cannot remember a fighter having so much drama behind the scenes.

 

I agree with everything that Hearn said............But, to say this at the pre fight press conference, undermining primetime, trying to de rail the promotion- thats just low.

Eddie Hearn seems more of a **** than his Dad - and that takes some doing

 

Nah I disagree, him and his Dad are awesome for British sport and quite a few sports would be poorer places without them two.

 

He's been saying it all week, and he's right to be pissed off. McCloskey is losing out on a lot of exposure because of this.

 

:deal

 

Morals?

What the **** are you talking about?

If Khan had no morals, he could have so easily have decided to cancel the fight all together. Instead, it's possible that he's about to be paid less than McCloskey - despite being the champion and the bigger star - and hasn't for one minute thought about pulling out.

Khan himself is only guilty of one thing - sitting back and doing his job of fighting whilst letting other people deal with the business side of things.

 

On another note, I know Khan is quite rich but a £1.5 million loss has got to be a right kick in teeth for anyone.

 

Hearn is just trying to disrupt Khan's mindset before the fight. But he's right, though. Khan's handlers are stupid as ****.

 

Now if Peterson was the main event, would SKY still have scrapped the fight...:think

 

Yes... Peterson is even less appealing to a PPV audience.

 

It is a kick in the teeth, but **** happens. What his team should have then thought, is....."Right, we've lost a **** load of money, but **** it. The very least we should now do, is not lose the only thing we have left - our audience. So let's go ahead with SkySports 3, continue to utilise their hype machine, maintain good relations with them, and drum up interest in the all important summer fight with Bradley"
