    Bradley was initially lowballed himself and had his own reasons for turning down the fight. Only a twat like yourself could convince himself it was out of fear of a guy like Khan who runs and is afraid to sit down on a punch.

    Every other potential opponent, has been lowballed with insulting offers.

    The only reason Bradley was given a fair offer was because Golden Boy knew of his situation with Shaw and knew he would turn it down. It was a good PR move, but Khan never wanted that fight and only made a fair offer when it was clear that Bradley would not be taking it.

          Khan made more money fighting McLoskey PPV on Primetime TV than he would have had he signed with Sky. If he gets similar treatment from Sky when the put in a bid for his next fight he should simply go to the highest bidder.

          Its what football did when the EPL was formed. Everyone moaned about it then but its a lot easier to wach.

          Besides if someone is awake at 2am to watch a fight from across the Atlantic they are the type of fan who is going to seek it out anyways, so Khan should go with the highest bidder.

            Who the hell is Carl Froch to tell anyone about how to run their own media campaign? This tramp is a two times world champion and hardly anyone knows who he is in the uk...

            Anyways at the end of the day, its all about who gives the most money and the most lucrative option for the boxer. If they make more money going to another tv network then that is what they will do, even if it means less exposure, who gives a **** about exposure when your making 300k + more?.

              He's given Judah one heck of an offer too so that doesn't make sense at all.

              Let me guess, they knew there was going to be venue problems with Judah so deliberately did it knowing he wouldn't follow through.......lol clown.

                More exposure = more money. You telling me that the publicity Sky gives a fight wouldn't help sell more than Primetime?

                  Khan made more on Primetime with his last fight than Sky were offering him.

                  Surely it makes sense to go with the network that will net him the biggest payout?

                    That's because Sky didn't want to put it on PPV, any fight on Sky PPV would sell more than it would on Primetime PPV simply because of publicity that Sky can give the fight that Primetime cannot.

                      I agree, I dont live in UK but unlike most posters here I actually watch all the Sky Sport Nights and watch their Sports feeds and they do a really good job hyping up Brits. Sure they are all biased as hell but they are 10000x better than Premier Sports, Sky can run adverts all freaking day leading up to Amirs Fight.

                      Remember, its not always about the money, its about being promoted by the biggest Sports channel in the UK, you cant put a value like that. and going to Premier probably left a sour note in Sky's throat as they viewed it as a stab in the back.


                      btw Premier Sports is absolute garbage, dont think they have upgraded any of their cameras since the 1980's. They should just stick to re-broadcasting foreign streams.
