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

[-drebin-]

Why are they saying the want it on Sky Sports 1 as most people don't have Sky Sports 3? The number of people without SS3 is exactly the same at the number without SS1. Why does that matter so much? If you subscribe to SS then you get all SS channels. I remember in the past it was different where different packages got you different channels but now, correct me if im wrong, if you have SS then you have all SS channels. This sounds like a front for another issue at the moment.

I feel this is a much bigger blow for Khan than it is for Sky. Again, correct me if I'm wrong, but Khan's PPV no.s have been fairly poor so far (when not following a Warren Card e.g. "Gr8 Britain vs The World"). Khan is already a very wealthy young man, I don't get why he can't just bite the bullet and fight McCloskey on SS3 then rake it in against Bradley on PPV. He'll hurt his career more doing it this way.

Haye is a more popular in the UK.. maybe down to racism i am not sure

no its not racism, its greed and bad management coming from team khan.

[DUCK FACE]

thats a dumb comment....why on earth is it down to racism? if sky think they can tap into the ****** market then they'll sure as hell do business with khan. this has more to do with team khans demands and lack of professionalism than anything else.

and has been suggested here...its probably a bluff to try and get sky to change their minds on showing the khan fight on SS3.

i hope the crew at sky leave em hanging out to dry. if they are so confident with primetime - go for it. the mccloskey fight viewing figures will get em proper nervous.

Nothing to do with SKY..

I was just talking about the general UK public.. i mean 50 people brought the Khan fight LOL. 500-600k brought bum audley vs Haye.. lots of crap going on with the edl/****** league or whatever it's called atm

is sky gonna show the canelo-rhodes fight?

Does this mean that Sky will show Froch/Johnson? I'm way more fussed about watching that fight than Khan vs some bum.

Maybe, They showed the hatton vs Canelo fight a day after though. It won't make ppv though no way, maybe sky sports 3.

Froch is normally on primetime, he is hardly that known in England Froch it is really strange...

Was ricky hatton more popular or less popular when ricky was amirs age
right now?will khan ever be big like hatton?

[BetterCallSaul]

Obviously Sky don't want Bradley vs Khan, because Team Khan rejected their offer of Sky Sports 3.

Hopefully, ITV will broadcast the fight, but whatever happens, it's not going to be the mega fight it could have been without the backing of Sky.

Yeah, but I'm sure i read somewhere that the director of Sky Sports watched the Froch/Abraham fight, and was so impressed with Froch that he promised to televise his next fight.
