Title: Help make the McCloskey vs Khan fight happen ...
Post by: Atticus_Finch on January 16, 2011, 10:50:07 AM
Folks, the latest i'm hearing in relation to the proposed Khan vs McCloskey fight is that  Sky have concerns that Mc Closkey might not be a big enough draw.  I've a wee favour to ask, please spare a minute of your time and contact sky  http://www.skysports.com/contactus/  .  Select Sky Box Office for the subject area from the drop down menu and type a brief message to let them know that if Khan vs McCloskey was a pay per view event that you would get it out.

Good old fashioned people power could make this fight happen, thanks for your time.

Bump

I reckon decision day is today, possibly tomorrow.  Towards the end of yesterday Breidis Prescott's people been kicking up a lot of fuss saying it should be Prescott and not McCloskey getting the shot. 

If you want to see McCloskey get the chance he deserves contact Sky by that webaddress i mentioned below or email:

skysportsclub@bskyb.com

It's just a suggestion but i would put "FAO Adam Smith - Mc Closkey vs Khan" in the subject title.

Smith is Sky's head of boxing.

I figure it is worth a try, thanks.

It would be good to get McCloskey a higher profile then everyone would know his nickname and we wouldnt have to have one of his mates give out on a message baord when others dont know it.
