    Understandable why they would pass but it is not like they will give us anything better. Probably replace it with a couple TMT showcase fights.

    Khan is not the pull in the US he thinks he is. He is unknown, has zero charisma and crying and whining on twitter doesn't get you any more fans.

    Relax and calm yourself kid. Lol....You do your research knucklehead! Khan is a draw in this sport and considered an Elite level fighter. Algeri is coming off a loss to Manny Pacquiao....so his name is recognizable. The point is exactly what I said earlier.....SHO needs fights like this. It's not ppv worthy and no one is claiming that....it's definitely not a Pacquiao vs Mayweather But it's a fight that can make the network money and ratings. You may think it's a "joke fight".....but the ratings dictate the success of the networks....not the opinion of some random online boxing fan who doesn't understand the current landscape of boxing. HBO and SHO are under a lot of pressure due to AL buying up time on network tv......not to mention their current stable of fighters who are strictly "network" fighters, are thiner than your hair line. Both networks are going to have to do more with less and be prepared to latch on to bigger names like Khan.

    Indeed he is, which is why SHOWTIME is refusing to host his next fight and will probably end up on ESPN if he's lucky. :lol: Yeah, didn't bother reading the rest because you're obviously an idiot.

    Good decision.The fight is garbage.

    I lost respect for Khan cause he is blatantly ducking Brooks

    I don't blame them. It's a bad stylistic match up.

    It's two guys that aren't trying to get hit.

    I understand ducking Brook because Khan is 100% money, fights that would generate attention or feather fisted opponents to remain active and safe. I don't get however, why he turned down Bradley. Bradley would have been a major name and his KO ratio should make Khan and his team smile nonstop.

    Khan claimed he can't walk the streets of America without been bombarded.

    Yet Mr popular has a major network in the US who passed on his next fight.

    The guy is a joker.
