    I'm hoping Hennessy or Thaxton will clarify the situation about the bid Warren allegedly made outside of the bidding process. 'Appears to have' seems a little cautious in that statement.

    Apparently, it had recently been ruled by the Board that the purse bid was to be split 50/50 between them so I assume this was more favourable to Thaxton than Warren's alleged offer? Also, perhaps there were strings attached that they weren't keen on?

    We don't know yet what offer Thaxton turned down - it is all speculation.

    It was Khan that withdrew from the bidding process and yet Thaxton has spoilt it in your view?

    We know you run Khans official fans site but a little more objectivity wouldn't go amiss Ironbull.

    Given the WBO rankings with Khan at 4 and his opponent Kristjansen at #2, and Warren's relationship with the WBO, I'm sure he'll be fighting for the WBO title in the next few months.

    I'd be interested to know when Kristjansen got his #2 ranking and would be willing to bet that he appeared there as soon as Khan was announced to fight him in the same way Enzo Macc's last 2 opponents appeared in the WBO top 15 overnight.

    Kristjansen has only fought one 6 rounder (an SD win) in the last 13 months. :-(

    With Campbell fighting for the WBA and IBF he will go out of the rankings, so if Khan beats the danish guy he will go to number 2. Katsidis is being upgraded to fill Champion so then Khan can go straight into an eliminator with Anthony Peterson.

    Makes more sense that fighting Thaxton for 1/4 the money.

    Thaxton needs Khan for the payday. Khan will get a good payday whoever he fights and will continue to do so. If Jon has prcied himself out of the fight, then he only has himself to blame I'm afraid
