Is anyone a little irritated by the way the Khan fight is being marketed?

    The wool is being pulled over his eyes though!? It will only take a couple more airings of the advert before he presses that red button in the expectation that he's about to see the top two light welterweights in the world face off :nut

    *******New Sky Boxing Office Advertising Voice over********

    "After his 90 second shellacking at the that hands of then a unknown Columbian that completely exposed his suspect chin and technical shortcommings, Amir Khan has turned his career around by defeating a small Mexican pensioner in a very suspect technical decision and securing an totally undeserved WBA title shot against one of the weaker major belt holders and former Junior Witter victim, Kotelnik

    See him on Saturday night on Sky Box Office fight Dimitri Salita, a reasonable but unspectacular fighter who has somehow managed, through cunning management and suspected ratings fixing, to become the number 1 WBA challenger.

    Is Khans title even more of a sham than Salitas number 1 ranking? Find out on Saturday night in a mildly interesting 12 round fight that is likely to go the distance.

    The experts are calling this one "The battle to find out who is the 8th best 140lb fighter in the world!!!".......Pay £15 and join them to settle the question that has been keeping absolutely nobody awake at night!!"

    I think Gaz needs to work for Sky :lol:

    I'm quite happy for Khan to be on PPV and all the best fights be on regular Sky Sports - of the three major fights in recent weeks, this one interests me the least, Pac vs Cotto and Vitali vs Johnson are better fights free of charge!

    I love Sky.

    Mwah!

    Hyped up advert = more PPV sales to Joe Public fans:eek:tta

    More PPV sales = Happy Sky:bananamaniac

    Happy Sky = Hopefully more boxing being shown:boxing2




    I'm not gonna complain about it.

    This is boxing, fights are hyped up all the time. Just look at Haye-Valuev for ****s sake. David Haye v Giant Shitbag sold well over the odds on PPV due to hyped up and clever advertising.

    Anyone still pissed off that the Hatton vs Mayweather fight was so hyped up even though it was a total mis match.

    Haye vs the worst heavyweight champion in history would not have sold either.

    Froch who was **** for 11 and half rounds in his last fight vs a guy no one has heard of in a daft sounding tournament with Bute would have been **** advertising.



    This weekend I am going to see the scariest film ever made that will make me not be able to sleep for weeks.
