    With the news that Khan will fight Algeri, it makes me think there is pretty much no chance of it happen until next year, if ever.

    I think he is just waiting out for the May/Pac winner. Fighting in America in front of the fans over there and on US tv makes sense if he wants s mega fight in autumn. Plus fighting Pacs recent opponent gives him chance to do a better job and make a statement. Also, this is a fight that Khan will win hands down unless of a HUGE upset. I'd say this all looks like they are biding time and trying to set up the fight with May/Pac.

    This is not some revelation ive had. It's all pretty clear what Khan is trying to do. Because at the end of the day the Mayweather fight is the bigger fight. And if it doesn't happen he can always fight Brook next year assuming they both keep winning.

    What everyone's thoughts on his choices?

    I can guarantee you, neither manny or floyd are going to waste their time fighting khan after May 2nd.

    Roach doesn't like khan to give him a payday and Floyd isnt falling for his begging.

    No I agree that to those two, Khan is a parasite that has attached to them and is irritating the hell out of them.

    But unfortunately there's not many fights bigger than Khan for them.

    Thurman, Garcia, Broner, Maidana all smaller fights than Khan. Brook could be s big fight for them but I dong think his profile is big enough over there yet.

    Whatever you may think of these fighters. Unfortunatley it is what it is.

    Khan needs to strike whilst the iron is hot with the Kell fight.

    I'd doubt (very highly) that it'd fill Wembley, but it definitely won't do anything of that scale if Kell loses and Khan loses in the meantime.

    According to Big Abdul, he is 90% certain that the May 30th card at the O2 and Khan's fight the same evening will be a PPV package.

    He said that all they are waiting on is a decision whether to announce this within 2 weeks or wait to advertise until after the Pac v Money PPV.
