Amir Khan: I Want Maidana, I Told Them To Get Me The Fight!

He gets a ton more hype than Bradley or Alexander do with the media though so getting criticism goes with the territory.

Stop bringing race up too, if anything it's his race that has got him the contract with Golden Boy and a nice big bank balance compared to Bradley and Alexander as he was keen to point out to everyone.

 

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

 

Bradley is going up in weight and fighting a guy who is bigger than him and is a good puncher. That's actually a relatively good challenge for Bradley. Alexander was turned down by Khan, Bradley, Judah, and Maidana. No way does GBP put Ortiz in there with him. So you can't put Alexander down. Khan has the ablility, unlike Alexander and Bradley, to fight whoever he wants. His choice of oppostion should be more scrutinized. All of Khan's recent opponents have been handpicked(except Salita who is a C level fighter). He needs to step it up. Katsidis in July is a good start.

 

It's sad that he's taking that direction though.

He's got a big fanbase in the UK. Hatton didn't need to do it so why should he? Look at what Pac, Hatton, Tyson, ODLH, Lewis, Holyfield etc achieved without that ****.

I'm not convinced Mayweather does big numbers because he trash talks either.

 

Why do you think Oscar is willing to throw so much money at him and invest in him heavily compared to a guy like Bradley or Alexander?

He's a marketable guy because of his race and offers up a lot of opportunities for Golden Boy to make money off the back of that, nothing wrong with that of course as I don't see it any different from the investment made in Oscar and Cotto in the past to attract a certain area of the market.
