Comments Thread For: Team McCloskey: Khan Made a Big Mistake, PPV Bombs

[BattlingNelson]

I agree with McCloskey's promoter. Team Khan should've accepted the Sky Sports 3 offer. It would then atleast get more viewers and Sky would still show all the promotional footage they filmed.

Only a small amount of boxing fans will be watching the fight now. Amir won't be able to expand his audience.

Team Khan is full of amateurs. I would fire them all.

Yeah. It seems that the move to Primetime is terrible for the long term business.

some uk boxing fans will tune into sky sports 3 and say "wtf? where'd the fight go?"

lols....

I kinda agree...

khan wants to be known as a ppv fighter, but you can't force it... *****, nonito's been on pinoy power ppvs for a while now and he ain't got even juanma lopez type fame yet.

ITV would have gathered more viewers if thats so important, SKY 3 requires an additional subscription. This is business, I think it's clear that this not a charity event, Hatton didnt fight for peanuts why would Khan?
Oh I forgot, he's a Pa ki and they should fight for free, sorry EDL / BNP

ITV's schedule was already booked up. And how many people have SS3 compared to the people that will buy through Primetime? Also for the people that dont have SS3, they could get the whole Sky Sports package for a whole month for £20 compared to £15 for 4 hours of poor broadcasting that primetime will offer. And, yes i agree, it is all about money. But then Khan should not be talking about a homecoming fight for the fans, putting on a showcase the "fans" etc. Also how much more did he get?

And dont play some race card with me, you cnut.

Dumb move period, If you think Khan going to Primetime is a smart move then you are a certified ****** IMHO, Even most hardcore boxing fans in the UK dont even know what primetime is..

If Khan thinks that he deserved a slot on Sky Sports 1 or 2 on saturday night ahead of the Real v Barca match, he's totally deluded!!!! Not even Hatton would attempt to have a fight near such big footy matches. Bad business from all involved here I think. Maybe if they included the Berto fight there would be more people watching??

karma at its best
