In real terms Amir is paying McCloskey out of his own pocket but he’s okay with that

Laz, you're a tosser.

At least Darni has the fact that he's a nice person to fall back on.

 

Khan really needs to sack all his handlers and ''business managers''.

They aren't doing a particularly good job and are just leeching off him.

Like Slap said (on this or another thread) that there'll have been an agreed budget for the undercard.... the only mistake Hatton made is putting the notorious disappearer Macklin as chief support.

Sky are right to take this off PPV, but McCloskey should get what was originally agreed. The fact that Khan's management aren't prepared to put their hands in their pockets is entirely irrelevant.

But don't expect Laz the ball licker to realise that.

 

Laz, please open your eyes mate. Theres no hatred involved. Khan's reputation is bad enough in the UK without him pulling out of a fight about a week before its due to happen. The lad has only sold about 10k-12k tickets. When you consider 5k are coming over from Ireland and 1k tickets have been sold to Irish living in England, then its not much of a "homecoming" fight for him is it? How many empty seats would there have been in the MEN if it was Peterson he was fighting?!

He wouldn't have much decency about him if he pulled out and let down his own fans, nevermind the Dudey fans. I don't understand how Khan is being painted as the man who has saved this bill, when his team are the ones who have messed it up in the first place! Yes, hes losing a lot of money, but that is the fault of his team and his team alone.

Obviously you're a fan of Khan and you have put a lot of good work into the build-up thread. However, you must admit Khan can't be immune from criticism here. As everyone knows, this fight took along time to get made in the first place and nobody would have thought Khan would end up losing £1m on it. However, nobody would have thought that Dudey would be only be getting paid about £100k either. Especially since he did what he said he would do- sell tickets :deal

 

Thats the issue with british boxing, ppv is really the only road if a fighter just wants semi decent money. BBC wont show fights because as its against violent sports (which is bull**** excuse they just aint got the cash, and would rather pay high salaries for idiots like graham norton). itv would show the fight but they wont pay much at all. Someone like khan who has alot of people to pay (freddie, conditioning coach, his dumb stupid business managers/advisers) he needs decent cash so ppv is the only road.

If anything i wouldnt be shocked if slow ppv sales are related to the absolute **** fight that david-audley put on (which was audleys fault not hayes).

 

Care to explain? Hurt your feelings, have I? :hey

He's not pulling out. He's lost 1M out of his pocket to keep the fight going.

He would have sold 10K if he fought Peterson, maybe a little more, but with the Manchester derby and the El Clasico matches going on, it's no surprise. That's just bad luck for Khan.

It was Hatton Promotions who messed it up. They had their part in sorting out the card and they didn't produce. Well, they did, but fighters pulled out with injuries etc.

Do you think Dudey would have bought 7K to the MEN if he fought Barry Morrison?

 

atsch Sack all his handlers? :rofl Okay mate, why don't you ring up and ask for the job. I'm sure it's easy.

The ****? Obviously if the budget is fixed for the undercard then how the **** can do you expect Team Khan to put 'their hands in their pockets'

Honestly, that doesn't make any sense.

 

for a world title yes

What should Hatton have done differently then? :think

 

Because people like to hate on Amir. It'll always be Amir's fault. A lot of toss-pots who can't realise **** on this site.

 

Why dip their hands in their pocket?

Apart from giving a **** about their fans and the quality of the product there are two reasons.

A. They are the promoter.

B. they were at risk of losing a million pounds in PPV revenue.

I'd spend £100k, hell I'd even spend £250k, if it meant 1. I didnt looking like an incompetent greedu ****er and 2. I could make a slick mill!

 

I hope with all these distractions and crap, Amir Khan gets KO, that will make my year.

 

Why would he fight Morrison, for a world title, in England.... This point that Dudey wouldn't bring all these fans over doesn't wash with me. Yes, Khan is a big name, I'm not disputing that. But if Dudey was fighting for a world title in England- of course he would have a huge following going over anyway. You can't say that on the one hand Khan can't sell tickets to his own fans, but on the otherhand say that the main reason the Irish are coming over is because Dudey is fighting Khan. How do you know how many tickets Dudey would have sold if it wasn't Khan?

 

maybe if they had put an extra hundred thousand in the kitty for the undercard, sky wouldent have pulled the bill of there ppv and khan would have got the extra million

 

Tell me what freakin' fighter on the undercard has complained about money?? Instead of reading what your friend Marty has been saying on Twitter about Team Khan not giving up enough money to the undercard, why not find out some facts before blaming who it was, because if I recall, The Crolla-Rees fight got called off due to an injury, Macklin pulled out because he got a world title shot instead, and now you're saying Team Khan not giving Rahman 100K was what stopped it from being PPV?

There was a FIXED BUDGET. Was the budget a problem? No, it wasn't, so I don't understand where these bull**** accusations so many of you are putting on Team Khan are coming from.

To be honest, it's not even Hatton's fault. He did put up good fights. The fighters just pulled out due to Rees' injury and Macklin World title shot instead.
