I was hoping for abit more than that but due to my powers of deduction it must be Sky or ITV!

Who's Amir going to then??? The way Spuds bringing the subject up leads me to think FA are eyeing him up, but Meaty Mick has got his foot in the door at ITV, so maybe it's them. Soooooo many questions, soooooo few answers :(

David Haye - Free Agent - where will he go?

Amir Khan - when does his contract run out?

ITV - will they stay in boxing with Froch and Witter?

Will the BBC make another dabble into boxing?

That's another 4 unanswered questions to my list. Soooooo many questions, soooooo few answers

The BBC are probably interested in getting back into boxing considering that it's Boxing Boom time in the UK, but can they finance the BIG fights??? it didn't look like it last time they were involved.

Anyone know when does Amirs contract runs out?

Good question !!!

So long as they keep on showing loads of good stuff I'm happy about this.

As well as the Warren fare, I'd like other stuff such as big US cards, not so big US cards.

I'd also like to see some delves into other areas, like German boxing, like some of the fantastic Eastern Europeans coming up, and I want to keep on seeing the UK "house fighters" (you know who I mean) in challenging fights.

There have been losses in the Warren camp, so that shows they are not just the be all and end all.

Haye said he wants to fight at the O2 in November. Think he said he'd be open to Warren promoting again, but I'm not 100% on that. I'll bet all the TV companies know Haye is the man to watch right now & want a piece.

Team Haye - despite the criticisms that have come their way - have a lot more options than they are letting on at this stage!!! - FACT

I'm sure they have, over here & in the US.

It ends after next fight, from what I hear. Will Khan go to Setanta or will be go to Mick H and stay on ITV?

Yeah, and I want news on it. Haven't heard anything about this since the macc fight.

As a co-worker said to me today: 'eh?? how can that danish fella be crap thought-- he was world ranked!!'

The long con continues...

Lol, I got the same when i talked to my mate (a fringe fan at best). I was saying "ITV obviously bigged up the Dane to make it look like Khan is developing"

And he replied, "Noooo, mate, that guy was a good fighter. He gave Amir Khan problems and lasted 7 rounds!"

I got quite frustrated

I had a few similar conversations over the weekend.

Lets just hope that Warren doesn't revert to type and serve us up a long line of mismatches now that he's nailed down an exclusive contract/ Franks been excellent lately lets hope it continues

A mate of mine said

'That Dane must have been good, that boxing expert Saj Mahmood and Amirs Dad said so after the fight.'

doesn't take much, does it?

couldn't they just tell from watching the fight, that the Dane wasn't so good?

also, nice of Khan to say, post fight, that "he's been in with world champions." WTF was that about?

Why does it seem "set in stone" that Khan is either going to be a Setanta fighter with Warren, or working for another promoter.

Why can't Warren just renew his current deal - Khan bills on ITV, NO Khan bills on Setanta.

exactly if itv want khan they will have him who ever is promoting him

i believe itv & SN contracts are up for khan in summer

i cant envision him going it alone - not with a taxi boss and a scrap metal man running the show - im sure he will stay with FW, he will just use his contract being up as a reason to boost his wage - just like footballers do

i attempted to correct them, but didnt have the time so i told him he was actually about the 30th best in the world at the very best, more likely the 80th

This is exactly what I hate but you can't blame the general public. When I went to the journalism awards (which I didn't win, otherwise you would have heard about it!), John Inverdale talked about Amir Khan's upcoming world title fight. Unbelievable.

Barry did say his world ranking was flattering to his credit.

Isn't a boxers contract subject to a 12 month extension if he wins a title? I think that covers the Commonwealth?
