    Wow props to Khan and Golden boy for this. Now this is what I call a quality promoter!!!! Not like Hennessy who refused to work with ITV and streamed froch's match on his website...imagine how this would of helped froch's career if his taylor or even Dirrell fight was on terrastrial tv

    Good news but don't get to excited. The only reason this isn't ppv is because khan can't sell.

    Exactly. Why people think Khan and his promoter have made this choice instead of going with Sky PPV beats me? It has nothing to do with Khan hoping to reach a wider audience. Its simply a numbers game. Sky offered Khan what they thought he was worth and he declined. If his PPV numbers were healthy then this would never of been an issue and his fight with Paulie would of been on Sky box office but they havent been good.

    This fight was always a hard sell for PPV as its not on during prime time and secondly nobody gives a damn about Paulie. This is the same fighter that looked rubbish on a Hatton undercard and then rubbish v Hatton. No doubt sky took all this into account meaning Khan would get less.

    He probably could have sold it on ppv if he wanted, nobody out of boxing circles knows who Carl Froch is, yet he is on ppv.

    well yes he could of but the point is he wouldnt of made much money doing that as Khan does not sell PPV's. Sky didnt say no to Khan they just said no to Khan's terms.
