    Khan has not delivered. He is one step forward, two step back. Wins then loses by KO so the kid has to rebuild his career again.This happened to him twice.Right now he is back to his high horses acting like he deserves a fight with the best after beating that bald dude. It's the right mindset and his confidence at an all time high again.You cannot but respect his approach to fight anyone but the question still remains is he the real deal or a mere con?

    So should he have quit boxing after his first loss? Should all boxers quit after the first loss?? He's been KO'd and doesn't have the best chin same again should he and other boxers who have been KO'd or TKO'd quit boxing?

    Also Mayweather is the big payout with the most reward in terms of meaning obviously if you can get that fight shouldn't you try, it is PROFESSIONAL boxing.

    As I've said before not a Khan fan but your post is ridiculous.

    They did try to negotiate there, you remember what happened and the case was quickly closed. Khan called out Pacquiao publicly, Arum responded and Khan said absolutely nothing till Arum announced Pacquiao vs Algieri. What happened there was obvious, Khan was just publicly barking(something he's known to regularly do) to gain Mayweather's attention. Arum's problem isn't Al Haymon, it's Mayweather and it's personal between those two for obvious reasons. I believe we got in this discussion before.

    Then I guess Khan knows there's a problem between the two, care to explain why he was barking?

    khan says he tells his team who he is willing to fight and leaves it with them. you blamed khan for the pacquio fight not happening entirely and go on like arum really wanted the fight even though you know that he has problems with haymon for a long time and it doesnt look like its going away, but then with mayweather arums attempts are all lies . and both guys get a pass but khan doesnt

    You're going through a discussion we have already been through yet again like my previous points failed to make any sense.

    Amir Khan knows that Haymon and Arum have problems, if you and I know you bet he knows and knows a lot more as well. Khan barked about wanting to fight someone he KNOWS he won't fight. Does that sound like someone really interested in making a fight to you or does it sound like someone calling out someone he knows he won't fight to hopefully gain Mayweather's attention?. Arum's response was clear, if Khan is interested in the bigger name and champion Pacquiao, he would send his team members to negotiate, barking on twitter isn't negotiations nor is it real interest in wanting to fight someone.

    if arum knows he wont do buisness with haymon why did he say he tried to start negotitations, if the money is right for everybody the fight should get made rgardless of promoters thats my belief and maybe khan thought it would be possible, he would like to fight pacquio he probably hoped the he could make a deal but both companies said they recieved no interst arum then said awhile later that he cannot do buisness with haymon you cant tell exactly whats going on between them but khans slated as being afaid of pacquio

    Watch the video I linked again and look at the date properly. Arum clearly said he won't mind working with fighters, regardless of management, to make certain fights IF those fighters were really interested and wanted to make it. You linked me a video which took place in August and from June to August things clearly changed.

    Arum never said he started negotiations, he said he questioned Khan's legitimacy because no one from Khan's team contacted him nor showed any indication whatsoever that they're as interested as Khan is on twitter. No, Khan didn't think it would be possible to make the fight, if he did he would have immediately responded to Arum. Didn't he stay quiet throughout the entire process after Arum responded till Arum announced Pacquiao vs Algieri THREE WEEKS later?. Khan had no problems responding to his fans regarding an altercation with teenagers in the street but didn't say a single thing about Arum's response. If he was serious he would have sent members from his team straight to Arum to negotiate, that didn't happen. Do you expect Arum to pursuit Khan?, who is the champion and bigger name/draw here?, Khan or Pacquiao?.
