Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Stands To Lose £1 Million After Sky PPV KO

[PinoyKiller]

I guess Sky Sports felt like they were going to take a bath on this fight and decided to cut their losses. What I can't understand is, or better yet don't know, but isn't a PPV telecast written into a contract when getting a fight and a paid amount to the fighter guaranteed? I just don't understand how they can change a fight from PPV to cable a week and a half befoe the fight and then change the purse amounts! Also, I wonder how many people would have not paid to get a seat if they knew they could see it for free on TV? This just sounds like a really shady thing to me. If McCloskey still gets $300K, then each fighter will be paid close to the same (Khan will actually earn more but not by much)....

Ariza is right, Khan's dad and cousin should stick to being cab drivers. The gloves being 9.5 ounces from Reebok, the Ariza contract issue, and many fighters turning them down. It's actually a great thing that his team are running this event because they are the ones getting punished LOL. If GBP had it, I doubt Sky could change anything due to contracts, however team Khan probably got an uncle who run a fruit and veg store to be be the acting lawyer.

You left out Maidana. How convenient.

Maidana? The guy Amir just beat? .

Maidana? The guy Amir just beat? .

That fight could definitely have a rematch.

Damn, this is outrageous.

This means everyone is getting less paid, including Roach and Vale.

Team Khan are a bunch of amateurs. I have said this all along. They should have co-promoted the event with Frank Warren.

Roach is probably thinking twice about flying to England... hope he doesnt and khan gets embarrassed.. karma's a ***** for the **** you and your family pulled on Ariza...

big boxing fan,but i've never ordered a khan ppv.i'd pay to see him vs bradley but not any of the others hes fought or was linked with in this fight.if pacman vs mosley plus his last 3 fights(cotto,clottey,margarito)were free on sky sports then im sure as **** not paying £15 to see khan fight barrera,mcloskey,salita.bet alex ariza is laughing his bollox off!

Don't be surprised if Amir Khan is advised to drop out of this fight and embarrass themselves even more.

Haha that's called Indian karma lol. Pay ariza you should know better about karma. All Indians believe in it.

No way should you be making 2 million dollars for tuneups. Good for SKY to knock this off the PPV list.

[PRBOXINGCOTTO]

good thats what he gets for not fight a name like ortiz or peterson

I find it funny how the sad acts on boxing scene find it funny how a man who fought life and death with Maidana in his last fight somehow deserves to have his livelihood stripped away from him.

It's going to be amusing watching Khan **** Bradley at the negotiation table to make up for this. I'm sure you won't be cheering then.
