If this is going to be on Sky there will need to be at least 2 additional title fights on the card. What could Goldenboy put together with there British fighters and the close links they have with Hatton, Hennesey and Hayemaker. George Groves in Commonwealth defence. Groves is set to fight in Vegas that night, he could easially move to the UK show and defend his commonwealth title. Darren Barker vs Matthew Macklin for the European title. Macklin is rumoured to be signing with Goldenboy, and purse bids are due for this fight on June 18th. You could also add Craig McEwan into the mix. John Murray in a European title defence. Murray has been rumoured as a possible opponent for Khan. Could easialy step in if Casamayor gets injured. Brain Magee in a European title defence. Hattons have agreed with the EBU that Magee can make a voluntary defence in July. Rob Nortan, Denton Vassell could also make title defences.
I'm not sure it'll be that great, the talk a the moment is that HBO want to include Khan on the Marquez/Diaz PPV, a dual site event. So if that in turn means that Sky are picking up Marquez/Diaz (they'd be crazy not to) the undercard over here probably won't be that good. Something like Barker vs Macklin would be good, as would a Murray fight. But dint hold your breath.
I'm not so sure that they'll use British fighters as the chief support. I wouldn't be surprised to see Victor Ortiz again as it seems like he could be an eventual opponent fo Khan. Maybe Prescott again as well. Would love to see Katsidis vs Murray - as Katsidis is mandatory to Marquez. Would be interesting at the end of the night to see who's left standing and who will be fighting who next. As Khan and Golden Boy have one eye on a Marquez fight.
the romoured US Televised 4 fights card will be; Juan Manuel Marquez vs Juan Diaz (WBA Lightweight) Danny Jacobs vs Dmitry Priog (Vacant WBO Middleweight) Roberto Guerrero vs ??? Jorge Linares vs Rockey Juarez (Super Featherweight)
That would be better than the main event. I'd definitely buy any PPV where that fight is on the undercard. I'd love if Macklin fought Barker but I doubt it will happen to be honest. He'll be more likely to fight someone ranked higher so as to push him up the rankings for a world title. A feather weight bout between Ponce De Leon and Caballero would be a good fight.
That's actually a really good undercard, IMO. Not seen one as good as that in a fair few months. I was going to say 'why doesn't Khan just get added to the undercard in America', but if that's the undercard already then I can see why. I'd happily buy a PPV with Khan's card and the JMM-Diaz card now.
Your standards must be high if that's a **** main event :hey The fight has lost some of it's lustre with both men coming off losses.... I see pretty much a repeat of the first fight, perhaps ending slightly earlier in Marquez's favour.
