    I can't remember. But what I do remember is khan not backing down v anyone apart from brook. Certainly in 2010 was before the brook hype.

    I assume khan DID want to fight maidana

    I don’t know what he made, I don’t work for Top Rank. Signed a 2 fight deal with the second one coming against Hatton. Hatton got £15 million for boxing Mayweather straight afterwards so I think he made the right choice financially.

    Your Hatton bitterness doesn’t come across as healthy. You really have an issue with him don’t you?

    For the record Khan didn’t duck Murray, he ducked Jon Thaxton. No one can doubt his bravery in his career though. If only Mayweather had been that brave in his choices sometimes.

    Lol khan didnt duck murray aye ok
    And yep he ducked Thaxton to
    Castillo owed his purse for hatton for missing weight in his fight before
    He took it to pay fines
    Walked away with zero in reality for that bout
    I dont work for top rank
    Was you not following the situation at the time
    I couldn't care less if hatton is a real man of the people or a fake man of the people
    Was it about the boxing and titles being a great
    Or all about the money

    Ran from the rematch he said hed give maidana after such a close fight
    He cashed out against big names for big money

    Sometimes rematches aren't the way forward however. Better to get a new opponent.

    Mayweather defo ducked khan but it was funny how khan was begging Mayweather, bit like brook begged khan.

    And somehow the latter two talked their way into paydays of some kind with Crawford. Ricky Burns gave him a better fight than either did and probably earned buttons for it.

    Your grammar is horrendous. Well as all you hear from managers, promoters and the majority of boxers is mostly about securing the future, it’s probably mainly about the money.

    Right ok, so you also have a problem with Khan as well as Hatton. Any other British 140pounders you dislike?

    So dishonesty and playing the fans is what it's about
    Aye
    Everyone wants a payday with a path of least resistance
    Got you loud and clear
    That promoter that took the safe guided path for the fighter
    How did that turn out lol

    Playing the fans? What are you talking about, Hatton v Mayweather was one of the best experiences ever for British fight fans, especially in Vegas. No one can dispute that. The weigh in was an event itself if you remember or did you hate every boxer on that stage too? Jon Murray was on there briefly and by Ricky boxing Floyd gave him the opportunity of boxing in Vegas the night before. That was the only reason he got that opportunity so Hatton isn’t a complete arse is he.

    If you ask Hatton fans if they thought they had been played, you would get laughed at. That’s why so many went over to the west coast again and again in their droves because they were being played? Hardly you idiot, it was a great time for British boxing fans. Your hate for certain boxers is making you talk rubbish.

    Of course Hatton was never going to realistically beat those 2 absolute legends, especially Mayweather, but at least he was in it to win it and threw hands with both.

    When your beloved Witter boxed Alexander for the vacant 140 belt and gave up after 8 pitiful rounds, I’m sure in your mind that was fine and no travelling fans got mugged off for their money that night (not that any actually went to support him though).
