I find it funny looking through a couple of the threads that people are being so quick to criticize Frank Warren over Khan going with Golden Boy. In my opinion Khan has been a bit of a **** here, not Warren. Now I know that Khan was Warrens cash cow and to some extent he HAD to bring him back in good fashion but come on, a genuine world title shot 12 months/3 fights later :blood Nobody but NOBODY not Top Rank, not Golden Boy promotions, not Don King and certainly none of the comical British outfits we have over here would have gotten Khan into that position.First of all he gets Khan into the Wild Card gym where sparring would be second to only training with the Mayweathers. Then Khan/Barrera was mentioned everyone who I knew laughed and said Khan is getting ****ed. It was a beautiful move by Warren and then he got him a shot at Kotelnik at home infront of his fans. It's not even like Khan was making warren that much money either. I've was at the Barrera fight which was packed PURELY ON BEHALF OF BARRERA. At the Kotelnik fight (His big shot at a world title) the place was half empty, so much so that they had to close the entire top tier of the arena and everyone got given upgrades in tickets (to make it feel to the Sky viewers it was at capacity. I'm getting to see why Beeston doesn't like Roach more and more these days too. He's interfering in a lot of things outside of what his role is and if/when Pacquiao/Mayweather gets underway i'll be very interested to see if his mouth is as big as it has been for the last 24 months when he's sat on a table with Roger Mayweather If Khan hasn't kept ties with Warren and is soley using GBP as useful way of getting into the US market then he's been a bit of a **** here for me.
I think warren has done very well for khan. That doesnt mean that the best thing for khans career is to stay with warren forever! I think GBP will make things happen for khan in America which Warren wouldnt or couldnt
I thought he should have stayed with Warren for couple more fights, especially reading that Warren wanted to test Khan with Maidana while goldenboy want Paulie i would prefer Khan to show no fear and take on a puncher knowing he could get beat.
I know what your saying lads, but THIS SOON after where Warren has got him ? warren wanted the Maidana fight which is the fight most fans want to see so he can hardly be accused of taking the easy fight there can he? Roach has made it clear he doesn't want maidana which is a strange one for me as he should be supporting Khan at least in public.
Whilst i agree with you on the sly way it has happened, i cannot feel sorry for a guy who posted Khan vs ***an as a ppv, and that horrible win over barrera which was a NC. Too much has happened for FW to get sympathy from me.
I don't know what to think. I dont like either party and dont really expect either partyy to show loyalty to the other, so if his contract has run out then he is free to move on I suppose.
Its through FW that Calzaghe resume is so frowned upon, Hatton has doen better once he left FW hasn't he???
Calzaghe is a legend. He has a rating of 90 on FN round 4. History will be kind and everyone will worship Joe Calzaghe and Mayweather in 15 years time.
**** he's on FN4 ?? Tomorrow i'm going out getting a PS3 with FN4 and i'm gonna sit at home and smash Calzaghe to pieces (whilst wanking) :rofl
