Sky always seem to be leaving someone out in the cold.

Khan has left himself out in the cold by getting greedy and wanting PPV for a crap fight. When sky pulled his last fight from PPV to normal sky, he spat his dummy out and went to primetime

Much rather watch Froch than Khan so can't say im really bothered

Much rather listen to Froch than Khan as well.

Naughty, Naughty Khan....... Sky signed the fight to be on Sky Box Office - they are the ones that baulked on a deal.

I doubt he personally made that decision.

Yea i know that but its Khan's fault who he has in his team. Look at the shambles with Ariza, his team sack him but then Khan employs him again.

Clearly however the agreement was made on the proviso that the undercard would be competitive and decent (e.g. a quality control clause). It became apparent in the week leading up to the fight that this wasnt going to be the case and Sky clearly activated the clause in the contract that saw the fight pulled from Box Office.

I note that Team Khan did not attempt to sue Sky for breach of contract - which clearly implies that in pulling the fight from Box Office, Sky hadnt done anything that wasnt permitted in the contract.

Sky exercised correct and proper judgment.

Correct - its not like Sky - being happy NOT to take our money!! The set up for the "homecoming" was a farce from the outset - they didnt even have a main event when SBO announced PPV - obviously thought that Khan was fighting a bigger name than they ended up with.

Lets be honest, we pay for Sky so we are able to watch all of our top boxers. It shouldnt be one or the other, thats pointless and is an attitude that will continue to leave boxing as a minority sport.

Agree, but given the choice of seeing one with quality shows or having both but on terrible ppv bills like Khan's ended up as then I'd take the one.

Yeah let's be honest,

The guy was hell bent on charging 'his loyal fans' £15.00 for the fight, even it meant dropping the marquee Sky platform in favour of a PPV channel to do so.

There's your attitude for it being in trouble funtime.
