Depends on the nature of those problems. Be surprised if they're anything more than 'no more million-pound guarantees Amir'. Find it hard to view this as about anything more than money. Sky have already shown they won't be held to ransom. They've made their position clear and they don't seem willing to budge, which would appear to mean pay the Khans what they're asking. It's business. The Khans had no problem offering the fights to Sky, so there was no issue on their side. And as we know, Sky likes a pound note - if they thought they'd have made money, no way would they have knocked those fights back. There would have to be a lot of give and take on both sides, but Sky don't look like they'll budge over money. It'll be a test of nerve, fascinating.

Amir went on ppv far to early which has made him think he is a ppv star. PPV should be for very big fights only

And who is to blame for that? It's not Sky and its not Khan.....it's Khan's former promoter.

But neither had Premier until the Wembley double-header. Sky are leagues in front of these networks at the moment but it would be healthy for them to have some competition.

But ESPN didn't have an experience of broadcasting Premier League footy either mate.
