    They were obviously supposed to be on the same sky box office TV schedule but negotiations broke down.... and with rumours I'm hearing about Khan going on ITV, I'm just wondering if Warren or sky think it will be a good move to put Mitchell on box office still? (but that's a big IF, in regards to Khan actually fighting on terrestrial TV of course)

    Can not see Mitchell being on Sky box office. He has about 2 fans.

    Surely not.

    Wouldn't surprise me though to be honest.

    The ITV talk was nothing more than speculation from one newspaper article. Just like that one last year that said Haye v Valuev, Khan v Salita and the Super 6 would be on ESPN and it never happened.

    I will not pay to see Mitchell fight on ppv unless he fights JMM or Pac.

    Khan hasn't even done good on SBO. I think Sky now have Haye as there main SBO fighter. If Khan and Hatton stay about they will also be SBO. If they dont I cant see Sky making that mistake with Mitchell he needs to be doing well on normal Sky and take it from there. To be honest. There cards they are getting from America are better standard to the british fighters yet they are free to air on Sky Sports. With money tight for the fight fans and internet streams easy to get these fights dont make as much for Sky like the days of Lewis , Naz and early Hatton fights have done.

    Khan on ITV cant see it myself there is more chance ESPN come in for him. If you are to beleive what was writen in the past with ESPN looking into trying to get Khan from Sky this could well be a goer now.

    Lets face it Khan was PPV when he fought Prescott and ***an and Barrera and they weren't even world title fights. We've seen far worse Sky Box Office PPV's then Mitchell-Katsidis and the supporting cast.

    It shouldn't be a PPV fight but I think (as Mandanda points out) that there every chance it will be.

    Agreed to any boxing fan, but the man on the street will have no clue who he is!!

    Plus with it being at upton park, mst of his fans will go so they are going to lose alot off possible ppv buys that way.

    Yep agree. Hopefully i will be going so i won't have to worry to much. Injuries haven't helped Warren market him that well of recent times and it's only been over last 6 months that he's been subjected to more exposure.

    It would be better if he beats Katisidis on primetime sky because it will be a barnburner and people will sit up. When you think he could lose this fight on ppv there be no way back for him,i can't see a Khan like comeback really..
