    casa would at least want a bit more since he is going to be used as a stepping stone

    yeah Khan said Katsidis's camp were basically pricing themselves out of the fight.

    Its who he's fighting not so much how many times he's fighting ..I mean what no rematch with the man who knocked him out ?Im sure that could have been made over the Casamayor match even if he had an opponent there is always enough step aside money in GBP !

    The bottom line is this not a fight the FANS want...try it on PPV and see the response..Prescott would be better than this ..Casamayor a couple of years older would be twice the age of Khan and it's just another minimal risk fight like the Gairy St Clair one.
    One fight in nearly 2 years means he will be ring rusty and his best days are long gone.

    There are no reputable sources for SBO buy rates because, stellar numbers aside, they don't make a habit of releasing them.

    He was slated over his choice of opponent rather than wanting to keep busy.

    Nobody expects him to fight one of the top3 in his division with such short notice but both Katsidis and Prescott would be more attractive opposition in the UK than Casamayor who isn't really known at all.

    The strange thing is he went for Malignaggi instead of Maidana with his reason being that Paulie was more well known for his debut which was fair enough, yet now he has the chance to fight two better known boxers to the UK public but he's going for someone who is less well known instead which goes against everything he picked Paulie for.

    Now what do Maidana, Katsidis and Prescott all have in common compared to Maliganggi and Casamayor?
