In light of AMIR KHAN vs DMITRIY SALITA on Sky Box Office, this is a petition to urge SKY BOX OFFICE, Frank Warren and Amir Khan to stop taking gross advantage of UK loyal and dedicated boxing fans by charging premium prices for wholly low grade services including:
Non (recognized) World Title fights and alphabet titles on Pay-per-view.
Is KHAN fighting a low grade opponent who could not in his last fight stop a fighter that was stopped by 'Alfonso Gomez' = Hatton v Mayweather! (15!)
Litany of Commercials especially during the fights and especially IN BETWEEN ROUNDS misssing corner work which we consider UNACCEPTABLE as it is part of the fight. (Are Sky going to introduce commercials during injuries/substitions in football?)
Abysmal undercards, ie no real title fights (+ Former Olympians completely undermatched) & poor replacements for pull outs/injuries.
Low Technical and Picture Quality, ie Hatton vs Collazo shown in High Definition in US free to cable subscribers and yet not even in Widescreen (let alone HD) in the UK at premium prices. Boxing has only recently been shown in HD on Sky proving it is a lower priority than Soccer Rugbys Golf WWE AND NFL.
Despite this the fans are expected to pay premiums money on top of sky boxes installation and sport subscriptions.
You are LYING to the public promoting this event as competitive Mr Warren, and you know it.
SKYSPORTS you are ruining the credibility of our sport and taking advantage of YOUR CUSTOMERS.

- Pay per view is totally unacceptable, rendering such sports available to just a few, thus alienating the majority of fans. A short term outlook based on greed. I and many of my friends refuse to take SKY at all as a protest to such moneygrabbing, which is completely counterproductive to the long term fan base of the sports involved...

- It's not just this fight but in this instance firstly I don't want to give another penny to the WBA due to their lack of transparency - how did Holyfield earn his shot at Valuev? which says everything about the validity of this title. Secondly, I don't want to actually have to pay even more for the 'privilege' of listening to another night of Sky's biased and agenda ridden hype and commentary - 'Pacquiao v Hatton for P4P #1"!!! Lastly and most importantly, Salita is just 1 of 35 world ranked light welters (excluding the 6 'world' and interim holders.) So Sky, just how have you deemed Salita a worthy opponent? And just how much are you (make that we) paying Khan for NOT fighting the best?
