    Khan also probably saw Sky as a better option RE: the potential Mayweather fight. Which would be on Sky Box Office PPV instead of just BoxNation.

        Why not? If his fights with Diaz, Molina and Collazo were massive successes they probably would have tried harder to get him, don't you think?

        Anyway, that wasn't really the point. The point is that Khan is not a PPV fighter in Britain right now and doesn't have massive appeal as some claim.

          Doubt that's what he'll be thinking.

          Sky would pick up that fight no matter what.

              Sky really are one of the biggest rip offs in the television companies.

              Spanish pay £25 per month
              English pay £50+ per month

              But the Spanish get to watch 100% of all La Liga games whereas with Skysports its about 40/60% then not to forget you're paying such a premium price yet you have to watch adverts?
              Better you than me.

                How many PL games do you get to watch on Spanish Sky? There's only a couple of teams worth watching in the spanish league, so who cares really?

                  Smart marketing move, choosing Team KING instead of Team KHAN. Not to mention flaky.

                    yes it's a good look mos def mate

                    but in terms of international quality fights, boxnation leads the way, its time sky tried to get some more big international fights, they wud put boxnation out of biz

                    maybe with them nabbin the khan fight, it's a new start to bigger things

                      You're either an absolute dribbling spastic or a **** troll.
                      Your letting yourself down here fella.

                      But like I said the numbers don't lie.

                      Khan could not sell out in Sheffield.
