    A racist will not be infuenced by anything Khan says. They were that way before Khan came and they will remain so once his career ends.

    Mr V.I.P, you need a right hand right on your, I assume, glassy 14 year old chin.

    Kinda like the one Tszyu blasted your man Judah with :yep

    Your 'paki' remark should result in an instant ban. No need for that.

    On the fight, Khan in the first or Maidana somewhere around 7-9. That's how I see it playing out at this stage of time.

    Get a moderator to get an IP check if you want :lol:.

    And at the same time, tell him to ban your arse from the forums, racist ****.

    So are parts of the UK, Northern and the Republic of Ireland, the US, Iran, Israel, Saudi Arabia, France, Germany...

    In fact, the UK and the US are responsible for the largest act of terrorism in the last 50 years with the wars on Iraq and Afghanistan that have killed more than the combined terrorist total in that period.

    So maybe it's the UK flag he should be ashamed of wearing.

    Fellas, may I remind you this (Brit forum) is a place for true boxing heads. If your argument is centered around ignorance than you're in the wrong place! We all welcome arguments and disagreements all day long, but the insults and racist rhetoric will get you nowhere. Besides, according to the 80's Mike Tyson, the minute you become emotional in the ring the minute you lose! So leave your emotions and wreckless talk for your ugly arse girlfriends, office jerks and contemptible bosses!

    So no matter what Khans manager says its definately taking place in the US..

    2million + lower SKY PPV + US GATE > 750k for a recording + Sky's PPV + UK Gate

    If rumours are true that Maidana wants 1million dollars then why not. For those not aware Khan gets a guaranteed 1.25million dollars for each fight as part of his 3 fight deal with GBP. With the mallignaggi fight, HBO's offer wasnt high enough to pay host the event, pay Mallignaggi and get Khan his gaurantee.

    And now its happening again.. HBO make an offer that's not enough and rather than Team Khan getting less than their 1.25million, they think that the route is for Maidana to take even less of a cut, when he's the bigger name in the states already. Perhaps Team Khan is justified as they are asking for what they were contractually told they'd get, but to act outraged in the press that Maidana wants 1million dollars I think is poor.

    It must **** off HBO a lot the way GBP has made this deal with Khan, I think it was a major misjudgement . I can only assume they saw the fanantical support Ricky Hatton got and the PPV numbers he was achieveing and assumed this would carry over onto Khan just because he's British, when in fact Hattons appeal was that somehow via his Mancity thing and his attitude he made a crossover between boxing and the UK football culture, so you had thousands upon thousands who knew absolutely nothing of value about boxing, but would go see Hatton fight get the PPV and when boozed up all became experts on this last fight

    Actually scrap the above as motivation, whilst scan reading it for errors I remembered reading that Khan takes all UK PPV revenue from SKY directly, giving HBO none of that market, so they must be assuming he was going to generate that in the states through becoming a huge name
