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

    Honestly, who give as flying **** how much he and McCloskey are getting paid? Are we seeing any of it?

    They're fighting on April 16th, and that's all that we should care about.

    :good Thought it was an excellent undercard for boxing fans. Sky know ****ing well that no casual fan buys (they don't even bother to SHOW most of the undercard) on the strength of the other fights on the bill, so for them to give that as an excuse for not making it a PPV is hilarious. They knew it was shaping up to be their biggest flop yet.

    I give Khan credit for not pulling out of this fight. If he's fighting Bradley in the summer does he really need it anyway? The Maidana fight must have put more than a few miles on Amir's clock.

    Khan did go on PPV too early, I don't disagree with you.

    He was on PPV after that because it was a 5 fight PPV deal................

    What happened after that? - "Amir Khan leaves Frank Warren to join Golden Boy Promotions"

    What was his fight on? ITV - Why? Because the 5 fight SBO deal expired. It wasn't a matter of choice. It was up to Frank Warren.

    I never said you or anyone should feel sorry for them. People are saying blame Khan for the undercard, and I'm saying, no, thank Amir that he's still fighting for nothing.

    Still, at least 10 posters said I've been talking **** but when I've told them to give me evidence to this so called cheap budget that Khan gave them, not one poster has come back to me.

    I've tried to end it at that earlier, but people seem to want to carry on.

    Anyway, what were the exact reasons for these fighters pulling out?

    Crolla/Rees - Rees Injured
    Macklin/Gevor - Macklin offered World title shot instead.
    Rahman/Fury - A late fight made to save the card - Rahman wanted £250K?

    But don't listen to this whatsoever. Blame it on Team Khan's greediness, even though we don't have evidence.

    Rahman refused to fight in UK due to americans always getting robbed over here.

    Fury said that Rahman was offered 250,000 dollars. If that's where you've got that from.

    Team Khan have a history of poor management but it's obvious ppl use any excuse to blame the penny pinching asian taxi drivers :D


    Anyway, the fight is for free so ppl need to stop complaining:good
