Ah well, pretty much guessed it was coming, reckon itd've been different if he'd have decked gomez in one?! Maybe.

[Phenomenal-Nutrition]

Frankie is definately the best match maker for him at this stage, he has the name value to go it alone but shouldnt think about it until reaching world level

[Coco]

I think it is the right move for Khan, and I bet FW is relieved

You're not kiddin, Coco !
Even having signed Khan there is massive pressure on Wazza from Setanta to deliver for EVERY show, not just the big headliners.
Let battle commence - Haymaker v SN.

"There can be only One!"

"This channel ain't BIG enough for the both of us"


IMO It's the right decision for Amir not to go it alone, at this stage anyway. Does this mean that Amir will be shown on Setanta rather than ITV? It's great news for Fwankies dwindling stocks and I bet FW's all over this years Olympic team like an 'over-friendly' Uncle

Lets just hope Haye's doesn't get himself knocked out. With his matchmaking, he is gonna be taking the risky, exciting fights.
No one is gonna want to watch George Groves yet without David top of the bill.
Whereas of course FW has a number of top of the bill fighters

True Coco - but he's already started building a decent "squad" and it's early days.

Of course it is early days for him, but say if Maeskev knocked him out, where would his squad be.
If he keeps winning for three years his squad will be in a very nice position

If Khan had been more impressive in recent performances do not kid yourselves that other promoters would not have big money for his signature. Khan is in a transition period where he really does have to improve and have performances to match the hype he and his team like to surround themselves with.

[Pugilist-specialist]

Does anyone know who Hayemaker have actually signed up. I had heard Josh Wale and Craig Watson but isn't there some doubt on the 2 amateur lads ?

[Autobarn]

Maybe he'll make them old farts up their game. Then boxing can be better all round.

[stujones]

There is no indication on for what TV deal Khan will be fighting - he might still be on ITV.

Would another TV channel want to take the risk paying what would be "demanded" big money for a boxer who at present is putting in domestic class performances, I would love someone to say he is reaching world class level to give me a good laugh.

W arren has a contract with Setanta, Khan will fit nicely into things.
