Team Khan offered Sky, Khan-Judah for regular Sky Sports. Not for PPV...

[wazaa.]

...and they still rejected it !!

Tim Bradley and @SUPERJUDAH huge names and world champs! we offered sky the Bradley fight whilst in negotiations with Bradely and guess what

Barney Francis (managing Director) and @adamsmithboxing (head of boxing) said no they wernt interested for the unification fight....

we even offered sky to Bring Bradley to the UK and sky still wernt interested!

then Bradley chickens out..... so now the fight has been made with @SUPERJUDAH 5x world champ! huge name big follwowing n unification fight

... @AmirKingKhan vs @SUPERJUDAH pay per view??? is it worth it ?? doesnt matter Barney Francis and @adamsmithboxing SKY said no!

hmmmm ok so now what? Team Khan offer @AmirKingKhan vs @SUPERJUDAH again to sky but this time not on pay per view! sky 1 2 or 3 n guess what

Barney Francis (managing Director) and @adamsmithboxing (head of boxing) say they are not interested in it at all.... nt even on normal sky?

sky are not givin the boxing fans what they want to see, ok they showed degale vs groves n ppv why not @AmirKingKhan vs Judah or Bradley???

u guys make your mind up.... i truely believe its a personal matter

like @AmirKingKhan said vs ***an salita prescott kotelnik barrera were all ppv and they dnt want bradley or judah....

why arnt sky releasing numbers of ppv sold of the degale vs groves fight??? or a rough estimate? @AmirKingKhan done 70k on primtime

Sky @adamsmithboxing even admitted @AmirKingKhan got em out of **** with the maidana fight bieng a huge success after the haye harrisson shw

Barney Francis never returns calls and agrees for meetings then pulls out, @adamsmithboxing is top bloke huge boxing fan but can't understand why he dnt want @AmirKingKhan vs bradley or judah!

Boxing fan or not everyone would agree @AmirKingKhan vs @SUPERJUDAH or Bradley is a telivised fight

if sky dont have any interest in showing my fights againts the top fighters in the world then fine, but an explanation would be nice!

HBOs live feed will go across the world, and in the UK it will be shown on PRIMETIME ch 480 July 23rd one not to be missed

It is a bizzare business decision, though. Khan is a top fighter and a huge draw.

Is the head of Sky, a ***?

[PrinceNaz88]

There are two sides to a story and Sky and Team Khan must have fallen out badly for the McCloskey fight.

A lot of **** goes on behind the scenes that we don't hear about but I hope they can put their differences behind them in the future.

Khan needs to be on Sky. Primetime is tinpot..

yeah, he is aselll.....

Good show, we can watch it down the pub anyway!

This has to be one of the ******est things that has EVER happenned in boxing. Thats TWO unification bouts being turned down by Sky, they are CRAZY!

Primetime is primetime let it be and lets see what happens. these ARE the figths people want to watch, you'd think Sky would give a reason, but NAAAH!

Haye Klitschko is gonna get hyped up properly but to have a fantastic summer schedule with two unification bouts on has to be better than one.

Frank Warren is definitely shagging someone at Sky. Its the only explanation.

Here's an article in FRIDAY'S paper interviewing Sky Managing Director Barney Francis:

One sport he believes needs to take a long look at itself is boxing, after he recently pulled an Amir Khan pay-per-view fight from the schedule because the undercard was too weak.

"Boxing needs to sort itself out and the best fighters need to fight the best fighters. The punters and the broadcasters are sick of seeing some of the guys that are appearing on the right side of the bill," he says.

What does he think he's playing at? Khan is fighting the best he could get hold of!
