750,000 watched ITV four when Khan last fought, the network's biggest non-football audience ever. And that would be the same Calzaghe some cement heads here think is not doing himself justice. Wait till Khan tops the bill at the Reebok. Then we'll see who's a goon, dumbboy.
That's not saying a lot mate, ITV Four has feck all viewers! For terrestrial TV 750,000 is really no big shakes.
Probably about six or seven times the boxing audience for Sky Friday night shows .. let alone ppv, which is miniscule.

Well if ITV4 has feck all viewers then charting the biggest audience outside football has some signifcance. Anyway ITV4 isn't terrestrial tv it is a digital channel.

Nor is it pr or spin to allow Khan time to progress. It's called management.
What is Khan learning from fighting these guys? Is he really developing?
Christ almighty, by this same length of time Mike Tyson had the scalps of Jesse Ferguson, Quick Tillis, Mitch Blood Green, Marvis Frazier, Jose Ribalta, and Alfonzo Ratliff, and was in position to challenge Trevor Berbick for the WBC belt.
Tysons team had total belief in his abilities, matched him and developed him, and really did think he could be world champion.
That kind of match making pisses all over Auldey Harrison and Amir Khan.

Yes, but the installed user base for digital free to view TV is much much bigger than Sky Sports. Everyone with sky, or cable tv gets ITV 4, as do all of those with freeview boxes.
