    Didn't they leave Harrison in a bady way too? Not that they have to stay with them but give them proper notice! Sounds like Khan's management are arseholes and are lucky Khan's stupid enough to be manipulated by them.

    Bellew hasa good point about fighting as an undercard fighter on the Hopkins/Jones rematch though hahaha and yet some fans think joke fights don't get made in America!

    Didn't Roach want to match Khan up with Morales at one time too? Sure i remember reading that!

    I think there are a few party lines in there from Bellew, in fairness.

    Khan wants to fight in the States. If that isn't how Warren sees his career going, then a parting of ways is inevitable. It's not as if Khan has gone out of his way to **** Warren over.

    Sometimes in business you win, sometimes you lose, other times you end up pretty much even. I'd say Warren has ended up about even with Khan.... made a few quid of course, but not as many as intended.

    I guess until you have been placed in that position you aren't sure how you'd respond (i.e. potentially fighting in the US for big money) - maybe Warren isn't averse to his men going overseas regularly, but his actions recently suggest otherwise.

    Bellew might be placed in that position himself one day......

    I dont see why Khan just didn't sit down with Warren and express his desire to fight in the states and do some joint promotional work with GBP

    Personally I don't see how Khan is going to become big in the states. Before I get critisised I like the lad, he's a fabulous fighter but he lacks any punch resistance. He is not that exciting to watch and he's hardly likely to be a long reigning champion. He's yet to fight anyone genuinely world class and in form.

    I have a felling Khan might just be part of some deal- he lacks the charisma, durability or technique to be a big star. I don't think anyone in america would pay to watch him sprint round the ring doing a Vlad impression- albeit with faster hands.

    Hope i'm wrong, would be glad to see him do well but there is something amiss.
