    2 reasons: a shed load of cash and the chance to be the lineal champion in one of boxing's most glamorous divisions.

    Its simple maths, if fighter A can knock you out for $5m and fighter B can knock you out for $8m, you would obviously choose fighter B.

    More money, more glory. Beating superstar lineal MW champ > beating relatively unknown WW titles.

    He is also rumoured to dislike Brook (and possibly Hearn) and might not want to help them gain money and fame.

    1st page the post reads as "Khan is not interested in being the best, merely whining enough to secure big pay days. He is a typical greedy Muslim".

    What exactly does him being Muslim have to do with taking this fight?

    I don't think there is ever a Khan thread which doesn't mention the words Islam or Muslim.

    Fair play to Khan. Good fight and one that people want to see.

    I will never criticize a fighter who takes the big challenges on, rather than cherry picking and pretending they are the greatest out there.

    Well done to Khan for showing he has donkey *****
     
  6. Well first of all, khan is greedy

    Second of all, that is actually true as most muslims are greedy and they will resort to crime if they have to in order to get what they want.

    And lastly, he brings up his faith ALL the time, and makes out like he is some saint.

    He even lied about the confrontation with Mayweather saying he put him in his place and mayweather was shouting stuff that he didn't understand, when if you watch the video, you will see they are both having a conversation.

    This guy is a disgrace to himself, to islam/muslim whatever the hell you want to call that filth and to his country.

  10. More money? I will bet with you as much as you're willing to put down on it that he doesn't get more than 5 million USD which is the offer for the Brook fight.

    Lineal champ? Do me a ****ing favour. He's only recently become a WW and you think he has even a minute chance of beating Canelo?

    You must be a Muslim.

    Have you lost what little left you had of your mind? Did my Lynx and nuts comment push you over the edge?

    Show me a troll comment in this thread? Amongst your nonsense about 'pay per poo' some of us have been talking boxing.

    Yes he will probably make more money vs Canelo. Canelo is a bigger name than Brook so the fight will therefore generate more money.

    I don't think Khan ha such of a chance of beating Canelo but what matters is if he believes he has a chance. Boxers generally have that belief in themselves

    Why do you think Khan would take a more difficilt fight vs Canelo instead of fightong Brook if not for more money and glory?

    And no I'm not a Muslim. Why would you even think that?
     
  13. Put your money where your mouth is? There's no chance he makes more vs Canelo.

    Why has he chosen to fight Canelo? It's a pay day and he knows he is expected to lose. If he does, he will try to get another pay day vs Brook. If he chose Brook and got knocked out, it's all over for him.

    This is a blatant duck.

    Pretty pathetic that people assume that any khan fan must be a Muslim. This board definitely has Muslim haters that's for sure. Khan has thousands of fans and majority of them are not Muslims.

    As for Kahn, I do think there is that threat of losing to brook that worries him big time.

    For one reason or another he doesn't want the brook fight. Regardless of canelo, the brook still wouldn't have been made.

    It's never gonna happen.

    Time for kell, Eddie, media and khan to move on. No more twitter wars, the fight isn't gonna happen so forget about it.

    Oh and Allah Akbar!!!

    Khan to be winning through 8 and then get stopped late in the 10th after being battered in the 9th.
