    Why should Hennessey hand over option's on Murray to Warren?

    Worse than the Klits! This shows how much faith Warren has in Khan.

    This thread backfired spectacularly. Did you even read the article? Blindly...defend...Khan.

    this may sound really stupid but what are options? i think there is a real question mark over hennesy as promoter, hope he doesnt mess up Murrays career. Don't think Murray is really big enough for light welter.

    What were the 4 options?

    1. Murray must be blindfolded.

    2. Khan must be allowed an AK47.

    3. Murray must remove his arms.

    4. Khan must be declared the champ even if he loses.

    Murray is one of Hennessy's biggest fighters and he could make a lot of money of him if he beats Khan. That means Fat Mick isn't going to sign away the rights to 5 of his fights (the Khan fight and the 4 options) to his biggest rival. A rematch clause is more than fair but 4 ****ing options? You're having a laugh.

    It means if Murray wins Warren gets to promote Murrays next 4 fights and (I'd guess) have a big say in the opponents. 4 is a hell of a lot esp. at that level, but Don King used to "ask" (and I use the term loosely) and get 6 or more back in the day....

    If its true you can't really blame Hennesey for backing out.

    now i know what options mean, i can see why hennesy turned that offer down. i think roach woulda had a big say in this, he demands alot outta pacmans opponents.

    The point, Darni, is that it's best to consider all the facts before scoffing haughtily at others.

    IT's not as simple as saying they were offered a fight. The 4 options are scandalous.

    Povetkin could offer Vitali $100k to fight him and he'd turn it down. The fight was offered but turned down. He must be ducking Povetkin! ;).

    See how that works?
