    Long story cut short:
    • Ariza use to be paid by Roach.
    • Situation changed where Ariza, no longer being paid by Roach, would need to have contracts of his own with fighters.
    • The manner in which he tried to get Khan to sign a contract - during the last week of the Maidana fight - irritated Khan’s team who felt Ariza shouldn't have been hassling Khan with things that aren't his job to be worried about. They feel he [Ariza] should have came to them to sort contracts out, and not stress the fighter during an important time.
    • Paying Ariza has never been an issue for them. They've been paying him for his last 6 opponents without a problem.

    mccloskey reminds me a lot like malignaggi style wise, i think the fight will go the same way.

    I agree. I'm not sure if I'm right to say this as I haven't seen much of McCloskey at all, but he does look like a better version of Malignaggi, with power and instead being in a Southpaw stance.

    I'm probably going way over my head in saying that but from highlights, I'm just pulling that out.

    if khan tries to box and mcloskey tries to counter him it could mean we are in for a long 12 round stinker. i hope not but it is a possibility

    pretty much how i see it, except Pauls style along with southpaw will confuse Khan for 3/4 but then he will figure it out and pull away in the stretch



    Although I would Kevin Keegan style "LOVE IT!" if he beat him!

    As you are the resident knower of all things Khan could you answer these questions if possible. Any ideas who will be on the undercard and who will do the matchmaking? Will it be a mix of Golden Boy and Matchroom Sports fighters? Do you think Golden Boy will try and put a few young American fighters on the bill?
