Oh I'm pretty good at skipping training. Specially if Ajahn isn't in town to know I've been doing it. 
But seriously it's as Chris said, it builds your leg muscles and improves your endurance. I believe it helps conditions my achilles tendon which gives me a spring to my kicks and dashes. As a new muay thai practitioner my Ajahn told me to improve only two things: running and skipping. Once I'm proficient in both my endurance can hold out during intensive training.

Skipping is basic cardio training. Just like running. Cardio is an important aspect of training for all fighters. So in that sense yes it does make you a better fighter.
It also really works your calves. Muay Thai fighters need power and endurance in their calves because many of the kicking/kneeing techs require you to rise up on the ball of your foot explosively and consistantly throughout the fight.
Besides all that, its a great way to warm up before moving on to more technical aspects of your training.

skipping is always a good warm up, good for cardio and footwork as well. i train dutch thai and footwork is key, being light on the feet
When I skip I always sing "La La La La La La La La La La Laaaaaah"
