    Maybe if they put the fight on at a half reasonable time...

    If ITV get offered it for free, they'll take it - but I bet there's a contract clause to accepting it. If past experience says anything, there'll be a minimum viewership clause: if ITV get say 2m viewers, they'll have to agree to show Khan's next fight with a specified licence fee.

    Wonder if Khan regrets leaving Warren a little right now? Still, all he'll care about is HBO - that's the real money and the real legend right there. Sky will pick it up for low money, I bet.

    Probably being a pumpkin here - but has there ever been an official announcement of Sky showing the Mitchell fight ?
    Has Mr Warren got a contract with Sky ?
    I just cannot see in a month of Sundays how a Khan fight can be shown the same night as a Warren promotion on Sky.
    What is for sure, Khan has no deal with Sky.

    No

    and I don't think so, but nobody knows for definite. He obviously had a contract with Sky Box Office for the Khan fights, but that's gone now.

    Warren will just have to sell the match on its own merits - and it's a ****ing good match between two exciting fighters. That **** should sell itself. But it's not a PPV.
