Khan Sheffield April 27th

Post by mickey1975 »

After reading in the papers that Amir is set for a bout against Julio Diaz in Sheffield on 27th April, i was wondering if there is any chance of Alexander-Brook ending up on this? Johnny Nelson and a few others have hinted big news is in the pipeline regarding Kell and with Golden Boy and Sky involved with this show it surely makes sense. Sheffield is a notoriously hard sell and Khan has found it hard work before, even in the Manchester Arena which is close to his home. Alexander-Brook would fill it.

I would have thought so. His last one was. McDonnell sells a few but it will still be half empty.

Can't see it mickey. The speculation around Kell seems to be 18 May in Washington.

So I have read. It just seems ridiculous that Golden Boy are promoting in his home town a few weeks before and putting it on. They must be desperate to keep home advantage. In that case, I would worry about Brook if it goes to the cards.

Breidis Prescott would love to come back to England and box Khan again - any chance of that happening?

This shows where Khan is at moving up to welter. Let's hope Horse's p4p ratings are adjusted accordingly.

I would pay for it. It would be a great night in Sheffield if Brook was on the bill. I love a Brit fighting for a 'real' world title at home, there is something special about it.

Diaz is an awful fight.

Though Matthysse v Peterson should be a top fight.With the winner facing Danny Garcia.

They are seriously misjudging Khan's popularity at the box office.

I deleted the Khan v Molina program from my Sky box before I'd had chance to watch Diaz v Crawford.

I've always been a fan of Diaz and assumed he must have boxed very well to earn a draw in that fight, as Crawford seemed to be on the rise.

Khan v Diaz is not an especially good fight for the fans but surely not a terrible one? I sometimes get the impression that if Khan is not lined up to face a banger then a disproportionate amount of whinging ensues.. I could be wrong.

I`m sure it was about £60 for floor seating for the Brook -Hatton fight,those prices are outragous

It's an OK fight. But not a bill topper in a different county to Khan's home, at World Tiltle prices.
