Comments Thread For: Justifying Amir Khan's 8-Pound, $8,000,000 Gamble

[wlliam]

Canelos the bigger better fight and fighter....LEVELS above Brook in terms of accompkishments and opposition level, Brook hasnt stepped up yet...its not like i hold Khan tp such a highregard though lol

This is a money grab...3 successive KO defeats to Canelo, Brook then Garcia to end his career

[Deevel916]

8 million seems lower than I would have guessed.. There is probably more to it. Willing to bet there is some back end money for Khan in this too.

Is more than what Maidana made in both fights vs Floyd.

[turnedup]

Hopefully after Khan gets KTFO'd by Canelo... ***** becomes president and bans khan and all other ******s from entering the country to put salt on the wounds.... then we never have to hear about this joke of a fighter anymore.

We'd be scrambling over the wall to get out of this country if ***** ever became president. The sheer horror of ***** becoming president...jeez don't ever wish that self destruction on us.

What are you saying, fiver says he don't hear the count, I do agree he'll see the stars or something like james 'not so quick' Tillis said after being knocked out by Ernie Shavers , 'Man I was in a dark room with green frogs and they were all smokin cigars'!.....Oscar needs rechaining !

I think Khan will see unicorns and everything.....and I bet you a score your see Khan do the funky chicken dance as well or a bit of break dancing lol

This report is slightly out of line.....for example Kahn s not well known in America and its only canelo that will attract the vast majority of ppv sales in the states..there's never been no debate that vegas has always been the home of the next big superfight....but that's either between 2 American boxers and at worst there has to be one american....the ppv market in the UK rivals the U.S. in terms of popularity when it's a big domestic fight...for instance anthony Joshua sold 400k ppv in his last fight and mayweather vs berto did 350k.....I've been to Vegas for LEWIS vs holyfield 2 at the thomas and mack centre and yes it was a big event but that fight also had the anticipation that it could go either way and some favoured lewis and others holyfield .....the difference with the Khan and canelo fight is ..Khan had a 50/50 chance in beating brook in front 80k at Wembley with half supporting him....with a ppv audience of a million as due to the fact he is ****** and create a lot of sales ..in Vegas he is just being used as a sacrificial lamb by goldenboy and they have just paid him well .....there s thing called fair competition and value for money......if Khan has no chance of winning how can that be value for money ? And if God forbid Khan suffers a life threatening injury then I hope people are held accountable ....goldenboy mainly

I think is more well known then you are claiming and Khan will help generate big Pay Per View sales...!

A million per pound. Nice. Good for Khan

[Invictas]

Who has he boxed as a welterweight with a known punch....Alexander , algieri or collazo and for you to say his chin is holding up ..he has simply avoided any fighter that has any pop what so ever so yeah his chin has held up against these so called Big punchers.....taller makes no difference and he pretty much is the same height but his body will look like a kids compared with canelo....and yes rumour has it golden boy and canelo purposely sought this fight out and initiated the whole dialogue...when Khan got let down by pacquaio golden boy contacted khans team apparently..as I said in previous posts khans movement will do well for the first 4 or 5 rounds but once canelo starts landing heavy body shots he will start to bring Khan off his toes and punish him and by the end of the 8th round Khan will be broken......its a mismatch to the fact that Khan cannot possibly win.....whether it looks ok for the first 5 rounds is irrelevant the outcome will always end up with Khan knocked out or badly stopped.....we can have the points bet.....I stake everything I have that Khan don't see beyond 8th round....what do you say ?

Thats not much of a bet Khan lasting 8 rounds would be a massive achievement, if khan lasts that long I would no longer classify it as a mismatch.

8 million seems lower than I would have guessed.. There is probably more to it. Willing to bet there is some back end money for Khan in this too.

Thats an 8 Million guarantee probably before the percentage from TV revenue.
Khan will probably make more then the 8 Million guarantee.

Hey Invictas , a gym rat friend in NY tells me Khan is known but not for the reasons he would like , getting skittled by Garcia and being such a nuisance with his never ending stalking of Floyd. In the uk it will be interesting to see what he does on ppv.

[gmc_rfc_06]

Big money for a fight he's fully expected to lose, badly.

It's a no lose situation in terms of finance and reputation.....health may be a different story.
