    Oh **** off HBO.

    Yet you're fine on paying Berto what? $1.6M dollars for a fight against a ****ing bum.

    Stupid ****s trying to take the credit for this fight.

    The fight would be a bit of an anti-climax though wouldn't it

    He is not a bum but she shouldn't be your opponent when your on a WBC card with a purse of over $1million.

    Collazo, Clottey would of been acceptable. Aydin his mandatory would be better. Zaveck or Senchenko the other belt holder. In truth they should of held out for a deal between Mosley and Berto.

    No, I actually don't. I was actually referring to Berto's opponents aswell.

    HBO aren't willing to put up anything but Khan-Maidana but are willing to put up Berto-Hernandez?

    A joke. HBO are trying to save face.

    A misleading thread-title.

    In that article it says they weren’t interested if the fight wasn’t going to be Khan/Maidana. That’s all. Not that they would drop Khan from all future fights if he didn’t take on Maidana, which is what your suggesting in the title.

    I see you're keeping up your daily anti-Khan crusade, boxing4eva.

    I don't really think a comparison can be made, Berto is American.

    I would imagine if 1.2 million of HBO's money is going to Khan they want at least a decent fight for their money

    Also, it's pretty amusing how Khan's earnings seem to bother you so much.

    Not sure where you get the idea I'm Anti-Khan, on this forum it seems your either labelled as a dillusional fan or a hater..

    As for your comment, It's not misleading at all. It's exactly what he said, granted my phrase is not as exact as his as I wrote it wrong and it doesn't let you change your thread title it seems.

    'You have to deliver Khan-Maidana or we're not interested in another Khan fight.'"



    You confuse bother with interest. It's the part of the industry I'm involved in, so of course It would be of interest



    Edit: Thank you Gaz

    Yeah but they could play the emergence of Pacquaio into the mainstream and the fall of De la Hoya.

    To me it's referring to Khan's next fight. As in...."We want it to be Maidana. We're not interested in another opponent".

    If he was threatening to drop Khan completely, it would have been more of a:

    I know you were wishing this was the case, but unfortunately, it's not. It wouldn't be a smart move to completely drop a potential megastar based on the failure of one fight........(waiting for you to claim Khan isn't a potential megastar :roll:)

    Mind if I ask what industry you're involved in? And does this industry require you to focus soley on Khan's earning, and not anyone else's?

    Again, not sure where you think I have previously indicated that I am against Khan and would enjoy HBO for not showing him, perhaps you are mistaking me for another user.

    Boxing. I lived very close to Khan until recent years so of course I have slightly more interest in him than other current boxers.
