    I keep hearing Khan was told by Schaefer n Haymon not to fight Alexander cause he might lose. Canelo was advised by Schaefer and Oscar not to fight Trout, Danny garcia was given multiple options other than Matthysse but he fought him. If Khan wanted to prove he can beat Mayweather, he could have told them to make the Alexander fight. If he's so fast and popular, the easy fight would have done huge number and got fans on his side

    The fact that the Canelo fight was in Texas should give you your answer.

    Canelo would see Khan shadow boxing when his name is being announced and not even come out for the first

    Khan RTD 0

    And Golden Boy did everything in their power to ensure a Canelo victory. Hometown judges filled out the scorecard before the fight started. All Canelo had to do was not get knocked out.

    Khan doesn't have that kind of backing.

    Oscar and co know Khan is gonna be chinned by the next top fighter he faces


    cash out time and Mayweather is the cow

    Poor Khan is not in on this though

    he thinks he will be P4P

    Khan is a little *****, but dont doubt his heart.

    Win or lose he has fought some very tough opponents and is or was happy to take on the number 1 p4p fighter (I know the career payday makes it easier)

    In hindsight it was a stupid move, but at the same time i can see why Khan did it.

    Hes still an idiot though.

    Many people try to claim Bradley ducked Khan when he turned down the 1.4M payday to fight the more dangerous and higher ranked Pacquiao for 5+M one year later.

    Those same people feel Khan ducked Alexander in an effort to get the Mayweather fight and payday. However, I tend to believe they would disagree and find a childish excuse as to why their opinion on both matters is correct and non-hypocritical.

    And Trout doesn't have much power at all, so zero risk there. Alexander has a bit more, more than enough for glass chinned Khan.

    Technically both fights were ducks. In both cases it wasn't really a fight Pac or Floyd INSTEAD OF... It was fight PAC or FLOYD AFTER. So really just a business decision that fans hate... but would do in a second if they were in Khan or Bradleys shoes.
