Posts on the The Eastside Boxing Forum are reporting that the fight is confirmed for Primetime, I haven't seen anything official myself.

Aye. There's no doubt Sky have made the right decision.
In a way you can't blame the promoters, they were looking at a PPV pay day, and then suddenly the money that they'd obviously budgeted for disappears. But then it's also their fault for letting the card deteriorate to the level it has. Khan alone is not worthy of a PPV. But it is their job to get as much money as possible from the fight, so if primetime were willing to pay more then it's their job to go with them.
