    Anyway, Hearn said a few days ago Sky weren't very interested in Canelo-Khan as it wasn't a viable PPV fight as the PPV market is crowded right now (Fury-Klitschko 2, Quigg Frampton, Joshua-Martin in the first half of the year alone), so BoxNation were able to get it. Either way, no1 cares, fight is a damn mismatch. Khan is going to sleep in four rounds or less.
    I agree PPV has gotten insane and there are to many these days. But Fury-Klitschko 2, Quigg Frampton, Joshua-Martin were/are not PPV here

              I said from the beginning I couldn't see it going on PPV.

              Khan must be pissed
              Exactly.

              I couldn't see it either considering they're going to prefer Fury-Wlad 2 which is on at normal time instead of Khan-Canelo.

              I thought it may be on normal Sky but never PPV.

                Sky are pretty much dead. They only put on terrible Matchroom domestic cards and the odd fight worth tuning in for.

                  i think Sky were probably hoping to get it on normal Sky but BN probably outbid them. A shame for fans in the UK as now almost no one will see it. I think BNs marketing and promotion absolutely sucks.

                  But it makes sense because of all of the PPVs. Sticking in a Khan fight - who if we're honest has a fading name in the UK - on PPV at 6 in the morning wouldn't help ease the fans issues with PPV.

                      Sky dead?

                      Are you that much of a Khanturd?

                      Sky are flying man. That's just fact.
