    Good fight to raise the profile of boxing with one established and one reasonably established name in boxing. But please do not let Amir Khan fool you into thinking he has any level of British support. In fact, a fight in the UK would be more pro-pac than khan...

    if this was in manchester i wont lie id only be going to see an ATG in action and would be a manny fan........ Khan has lost a lot of fans over here rightly or wrongly about his diva'ish antics with him and his team

    Edit* im not "hating" on khan hes always in exciting fights so i'll always give his fight a watch but he isnt this huge star that he thinks he is, i think his 'social media' numbers exaggerate the actual following he has who would turn up for fights etc, didnt they have to give tickets away with toys to his fight with alexander?

    Khan further cementing his position as THE BIGGER DRAW than Brook, thus worthy of more ££.

    Yeah his big profile is probably down to him being really the only south east asian muslim boxer at the highest level (Vijender singh is still a work in progress...)

    That's everything that is wrong with boxing summed up in one post.

    Brook is the higher rated WW and has a world title. Yet because Khan is more popular he should get more money.

    It's appalling.

    I hate that, too but if Brook was in Khan's position, he undoubtedly would've milked it. I feel like fighters should get paid accordingly to who they fight and what 'rank' they are. If only the organisations and promoters were aligned here.

    Bigger draw, but vastly inferior fighter. When their careers are both said and done one will be remembered and it ain't gonna be Glass Jawed Khan.

    Khan, and his fans are like a bad joke that they don't realise they are part of.

    This is a very boring fight, a mismatch that won't generate much interest. Khan is now a journeyman who the bigger names want to fight because they know it's an easy fight for a decent payday.

    Sad really but Khan's career has been smoke and mirrors.

    they GAVE Khan tickets in the casino and still less than 3k turned up for Alexander fight...
    Less than 3k turned up for the Maidana fight!
    vs Algieri they actually played 'atmosphere' over the tannoy system because it was like a morgue!
    when he fought Diaz in Sheffield the arena was less than half full with Khan supporters probably making up 1/4 of that,which btw Khan was pretty lucky to get the win imo...

    Heard the same as above and I believe Diaz should have got that call
    Took centre ring got the kd and was backing khan up
    Khan as been one of the luckiest fighters I have ever known
    Barrera on his record McCloskey stoppage Limond decibel should have been stopped against maidana
    Given every chance in the garcia fight gets moved for cash and still gets the big fights
    Sparked by Prescott then gets a sf to feast on then an old legend to make a mockery of then boom a world title shot in the weight division above
