Comments Thread For: Team Khan on Sky Sports Split, Sky Says No To Bradley

[wazaa.]

BoxingScene just reported it has nothing to do with PPV sales you shameful idiot. How dumb and ******ed are the people on this forum? Is English not your first language or are you typing this from a school for the mentally handicapped?

Sky moved it to free TV due to the undercards falling through, a quality control measure. Seriously dude, stop embarassing yourself, and at least READ the articles ON THIS VERY SITE.

You shouldn't take Mr. Blobby seriously. Nobody does. They only hear what they want to hear. They ignore the facts, they don't like.

amir khan is a ppv fighter????? not sure about that, and mccloskey certainly is not a ppv fighter so what the fcuk is this ****** asian cowboy goin on about!!! maybe he should stick to being a taxi driver.

I ask you again, Shade Darkar.

What is your ethnicity?

sky sports buys HBO and showtime ppvs, and if they don't England can't view

in a nutshell that's pretty much how it is, some of the super six fights have been on Primetime over here n all!

If there isn't a UK fighter on the bill the HBO stuff tends to be available on a non PPV basis but you have to take into account that Sky is a subscription Network so they have a duty to show boxing to people who have bought Sky for sports entertainment. I don't have it myself but the folks do so I go over to theirs to watch any fights that take my fancy

That or running a 7 eleven...

Khan doesn't have much drawing power if he did he would have sold more than 50 ppvs. Secondly the Bradley fight won't be that big in the UK its not like Bradley is a huge star like Mayweather. Sky MADE Khan fights as big as they were not the other way around as the Primetime numbers will show.

Sky had a part to play in building Khan's profile, that's for sure, most of the videos I seen on the net about him over the years were produced by Sky. But Khan proved himself in the ring by eventually becoming a legitimate champ and then defending the title successfully. The Bradley fight is a big fight whichever way you put it, they're both recognized as two of the best in the division now. If Sky don't pick that fight up, it's very bad new for boxing as a whole in the UK, not just Khan.

The sad thing is, it could have been the backlash from the Haye vs Harrison fight which put Sky on high alert like this. That fight could have got the ball rolling against televised boxing and now they could be seeing a snowball effect taking place over there.
