    i heard from a good source that khans next fight will be in the US on the undercard of pacquiao vs cotto in november and it'll probabily be salita as HBO are interested in that fight

    Well, that would be at least a deserving PPV

    :goodSeconded. This will be a brilliant move if Mr Warren sorts it out.

    Makes great sense thinking about it.

    Would do some excellent business over here on PPV given the Pac-Cotto fight would be on the card. What a perfect place it would be for Khans US debut. Hope your 'good source' is right.

    will that be a WBA title 1st defence or is he giving the belt up straight away?

    Why would Arum give Warren a slot on the PPV? This is Arum's PPV and he's not co-promoting with anyone so would he not rather give the exposure to one of his many prospects?

    It's no so much about Warren V Arum and their egos. Top Rank will surely be happy for some UK TV income- especially a slice of PPV. Khan V Salita in Yankland on Cotto-Pacman would be a good move, IMHO.

    Because Khan and Pac on the same card would bring in a lot of money from PPVS over here.

    maybe Roach has asked Arum for the favour seeing as he does train Arums star man

    i guess it would be about the HBO money and getting a solid undercard, HBO and promoters have been rightly criticised for **** ppv undercards and they would need to bulk it up for this fight to get massive numbers

    I doubt Warren would want to give up a share of the British PPV to Arum.

    Imagine if Setanta were still around? We would have got Pac-Cotto for free...

    It sounds like a good proposition but i doubt this has even been discussed yet.
