it's amazing what a loss can do, even a close one

    Oscar has got a screw loose since he retired. He is really not doing well at following the 12-steps.

    It's certainly overeaction. Many of the great fighters have said that they learnt much more from a loss than all of their wins.

    He is. He might promote both fighters but he was expecting and hoping that Khan would win and look good.
     
  4. I think so too.

    It's a good job he's got a strong support network around him otherwise he'd have probably pissed away every penny.

    :yep

    A bit like Don King with Tyson when he fought Douglas and Holyfield. Especially Douglas - his ''other'' man had won the fight but he tried to change the result.

    Hbo is where the money is & they would have loved this fight as it was one of the best of the year. This has obviously harmed his chances of getting Floyd but it hasn't harmed his career as the money Peterson will be offered for a rematch on hbo will be massively superior then hes gonna get fighting anyone else and he won't be able to turn it down.

    TBH i heard can't remember the fighter who said it but Khan's last fight against Judah they couldn't sell out arena and had hundreds of freebies to fill it out.

    Khan's not a major player as a fighter or as a attraction, exciting fighter that fans wanna watch but he's not the big draw some want him to be.

    :good

    Hence fighting in Peterson's hometown, where there was a reason for fans to turn up.
