Amir's Opponent To Be Announced Soon!

Just like last year when he was supposed to fight Casamayor, I fear Amir is on to another 2-fight year atsch

 

There's too much going on in the lad's life and career.

Too many voices, too many people with a say in what's going on.

The problem is that his family have too much control over what he does, who in turn delegate those responsibilities to complete muppets like Vali.

Until he sacks them all and takes total control over his own affairs he's gonna continue in this merry go round before every fight. If it's not the opponent, it's how much the opponent is paid (like the f**k that matters) and other BS.

I'm sure Warren was disappointed when Khan left him but I'm sure now long afterwards he thought to himself ''at least I don't have that headache anymore''.

 

Khan may as well fight Prescott. Not of the other fights outside Bradley/Judah seem appealing.

 

I doubt HBO would pay for that fight though, and it's not like he's getting £££ from Sky any more.

 

It's different this time round.

The big difference is that it is purposed to be in America as opposed to UK like last year.... So a slot with HBO is too big for a match not to be made.

This has been planned since the start of the year, so they've been looking into it for much longer than last year.

Khan is a bigger name and for many reasons there's much more money in this fight to be made so it's almost impossible for a match not to be made.

If there top 2 targets doesn't come through Bradley and Judah then there'll be 3rd and 4th targets i.e Guerrero etc.

We don't always no what happens with negotiations but I won't be surprised if a match with Bradley is all of a sudden made, but my money's on Judah at the moment.

But let's just see I'm sure it'll be announced with 2 weeks.

 

Don't be surprised if a Khan-Maidana rematch happens.

 

i was with khan last friday - he told me bradley was ducking the fight - can i say khan is a down to earth guy - he wants what we want - he gave me who he would be fighting next but i havent heard of them b4..

 

sorry he gave me 2 choices

 

I don't think Bradley is ducking him per se.

But he's now got the sense of entitlement that will come with being an overpaid fighter. A $1.25m guarantee plus another $1.25m guarantee for the next fight win or lose.... for what was basically a trade fight.... madness.

It makes no sense to take a fight for $1.3m when you can get pretty much that for fighting anyone. Once the sanctioning fees have been been deducted for the three bloodsuckers he'd probably be a happy meal in front.

This is the problem with split titles, too many fighters in there wanting a slice of the pie - meaning that your honest journeymen and contenders get **** all, and the odd one like Pacquiao earns megabucks.

 

Not quite true. HBO pre-approved 4 guys for that guarantee they gave Bradley according to Dan Rafael. The names were Alexander in a rematch (not happening), Berto (lost and unavailable), Maidana (apparently fighting in Argentina), and Khan (Bradley doesn't want it). So not exactly anyone. Any other guy that he fights will have to be approved and I don't think it will be a bum given the kind of guys HBO have in mind for that guarantee of $1.2 mill. Easier than Khan probably, but not entirely easy.

 

Names please

 

Khan should fight Holt.

 

Holt is the best. He deeeed it.


But yeah, I'd like to see that. Probably be some backable odds on Kenny as well. Tough fight for Khan should it take place. A focused Holt is dangerous for everyone at 40, not just Khan imo.
