Khan seems to be talking his career into a corner now. If he wanted to build any case for a fight with Mayweather, then something more high profile than Algieri would have been needed. treading water is a mistake - there are other candidates for Floyd that are more attractive right now.chad wrote:Before his fight with Alexander, Khan signed a 3 fight deal with SKY. With Khan Vs. Algieri a little more than 3 weeks away, I've not heard or seen anything to suggest the fight is being shown on SKY.
I remember Steve Bunce saying a few weeks ago that Khan's Dad was upset with the way Eddie Hearn and Kell Brook have conducted themselves in recent weeks by calling out Khan in public. He feels they've been disrespectful and shown a lack of class, and allegedly suggested their behaviour means Khan might never take the fight. Has Khan, or his Dad, taken the hump and walked away from SKY? They did it before when the fight against McCloskey ended up on Primetime. Anyone know anything? Maybe SKY have been too busy pushing the Mayweather / Pacman PPV and haven't got round to announcing the Khan fight yet.
Khan is definitely receding from the public's mind as an elite level competitor, and this will do nothing to reverse that trend.
