Everyone needs to boycott this.

Everyone needs to boycott this.

I may have paid for sky ppv as I would seen all preview shows but I wont buy this now.

[Terrrrry]

What idiots 'Team Khan' are.

Only compromising future interest in Khan's future bigger fights, in my opinion. Stupid decision.

[sweetscience]

Khan needs to sack his taxi rank manager..... Burnt bridges !

[palooka]

Khan has the opinion that it is a fighter (him) that is PPV and not the fight. He is a very talented boxer and still really young but he doesn't have his feet on the floor at all. I weren't going to pay for the fight as I do not think it is a PPV worthy event. If he boxes on Primetime PPV and SKY cannot show the bout I will not buy a Khan PPV in the future, regardless of opponent.

[alexpaterson]

Is this confirmed?

[kevinmalpas]

i will not pay to watch it, that does not mean i wont watch it, but i wont part with a penny. We can knock FW all we want but the majority of calzaghes fights were not PPV.

Why? What is the difference between buying it off Sky and Buying it off Primetime?

I might have got sucked into buying it through the beyond ropes special and countdown programme.

Fair enough, I wondered if you had a problem with Primetime.

No I paid for carl last two fights on it as it was worth paying for! Did not need any hype for kessler & Abraham!

team Khan needs to realise that to get the top money they need to fight the top names there are still 3 light welter's in the world that would give him a good run for there money
Timothy Bradley
Devon Alexander
Zab Judah
or if they stick to what they normaly do and get lightweights to step up you still have Katsidis or any on the top 10 in the division ???

Sky should rip up hatton promotions contract if their boxers appear on this rival channel and refuse to show any more khan fights.

Harsh! But I can't see it being in hatton promotions best interests for it not to be on sky.

Well at least we will get to see Rendall Munroe, Craig Watson and Gary Buckland fight. If it was on SS3 they would have shows Martin Murrays fight and then Khans.

Who going to pay to watch there fights!

[Alba]

the problem with primetime is they will do it on the cheap and dont have any sort of standards when it comes to the finished article,ive bought loads of PPV of them but the last time they did was the stieglez fight with orliez and it was terrible in the sens it kept cuttingout to the adverts etc and then there has been some ppv were there missing the sound,i dont have a prb paying for ppv but i expect a better service than primetime can offer

[whicker]

fornicate this shit.

[leforge]

Team khan have to be stupid to put this in primetime surely they better off on sky. One week to promote it's not ideal! I can't see sky showing him again of this.

[leforge]

Not on sky check sky sports website there a statement saying khan declined offer for sky sports 3!

[Jeff Thomas]

How fornicating greedy! I'll catch it on youtube

[GlobalBox]

Sky have just announced its not being shown by them, Short career I know and the guys deserve every penny they get, but surely they should have took there lumps at
team Khan and realised what they were offering was not good enough and settled for Skysports general, more people see it, instead it looks like Primetime and what are they going
to get in terms of viewers, I would be surprised if its 30,000 . Thats an extra 450,000 sovs, less admins and Primetime, At best 400k and a very pissed off Skysports.

Good deal Khan, me thinks not.

there it is in black and white

[leforge]

I wonder what hatton promotions think they have contract with sky! Team khan are clowns. allegedly must be laughing. Froch be on sky now for sure!

I agree... Kahn said that this fight is his "homecoming" and it is for the British boxing fans.

BUT THEN, he desparately tries to get it on any PPV. Just to cash in.

I've been told that because it's not Box Office it will rob Kahn of 1.5 million, but he'll make that cash up when he fights Bradley.

Kahn is just cashing in.
And it's not like he's 38 and desparately needs the money, know what I mean?

[Crease]

Kahn's money-grabbing actions prove that this fight is not for the home fans at all.
