Comments Thread For: Insiders Believe De La Hoya's Attack on Sky Hurt Khan

[Russian Crushin]

So Sky craps all over Khan this week but De La Hoya is somehow the bad guy for being grateful to Primetime?

I don't get it.

Because Khan got paid 250K for going to Primetime

OScar went to Khan with a new promotional deal and TV contract with HBO....He would have been happy to push Sky aside in favour of HBO being the main player in Khans career because thats the deal GBP have with HBO & Khan...with Sky behind Khan it gives Khan more options and im sure GBP would like to hold all the aces with Khan

[davidoff]

Listen guys, Oscars comments have been misinterpreted. All he said was that basically, GBP do a lot of shows in the US sooooooo he wants to start talks about doing a deal for them to be shown on Primetime here in the UK. That is all. He was'nt ****ting on Sky. He just thinks that Primetime is now a viable option as UK broadcaster for Golden Boys shows which may not be taken up by SKY

He said Sky made a mistake, thanked Primetime, and said he will contact Primetime shortly to discuss Khan's future fights.

It's pretty ****** when Sky hadn't appeared to end the relationship altogether, as now Oscar has.

Man, I want Amir to fight on Sky again. PrimeTime commentators suck.

Oscar De La Hoya has burned Amir Khan's bridges with Sky by launching an ill-advised attack on Britain's leading boxing broadcaster.

at the end of the day, its Sky that shot themselves in the foot, they were making a killing with Amir Khan, and more likely have lost this cashcow, their gonna reget this.

They were not making a killing with Khan. Khan isn't a big PPV seller, especially against c-level competition. I guarantee that primetime won't be so interested in paying Khan bigger money than Sky in the future when they see the numbers.

f**k de la hoy ya and f**k khan!

Oscar spoke complete lies and is looking for pay days only,he should get into politics.MONEY MONEY MONEY is WHAT HE REALLY SAID .When khan gets beaten you'll see on someone else's side telling them how bright the future is,Is he any relation to don king?

I agree with you mate. Khan wants big money for every fight no matter what class of opponent he gets. I dont think hte british public have any love for khan. He will never ever be the loved fighter hatton was or have nearly the support of him.

I only wish Froch would have left hennesey years ago and got a decent promotor like arum or someone. Froch deserves to get massive paydays and have the british fans love him. He has a far far better resume than khan or Haye and is not even known in hte uk

They should have got the undercard more stacked man .That was p--h .

[Dan Gutierrez]

Oscar Dela Hoya's brain got damaged after the Pacman beat the hell out of him when they fought.
