    True, though I don't think he's earned the right to fight at MSG though.

    To be frank that's pretty bull****.

    The only thing I would like to see in this fight is Khan get a hard 12 rounds in cos I think he is so explosive that he gets tired and sloppy towards the end of a fight.

    Indeed, tends to come with youth/inexperience.

    I wonder how the occasion will affect Khan (if at all); debut in the US, fighting at MSG, and fighting in his opponents backyard.

    he hadn't earned the right to fight for the wba title, he hadn't earned the right to fight JMM (which didn't come off anyway), now he hasn't earned the right to fight a new yorker in MSG

    fer ****s sake

    I don't think it's a big enough fight to carry a show on it's own.

    They will pair it with something..... surely?

    according to boxrec there will be ortiz - campbell on the same card.

    although thats not a huge fight either - could these two fights as joint headliners sell out MSG?

    How the **** do you "earn the right" to fight anywhere? What about all the journeymen that fight at MSG on undercards, do they not deserve to fight there? What about a certain noob called Richard Hatton who fought there in only his 2nd fight? Should he not have fought there?

    About the venue, I've heard the fight might be in the WaMu Theatre at MSG.

    By being a draw, having a reputation/following, by working your way up etc.

    Surprised I had to spell that one in crayon for you.

    Just kinda odd given it's his debut; headlining a place synonymous with boxing greatness.
