Does Amir Khan Not Like the British Fight Scene?

[coneye]

This forum is wierd. You go from clued up guys to clueless clowns in one post. Amir doesn't shift tickets to pay his demands, fact, I've been there several times. Kell won't fight anyone? He really would. He's just in the who needs him club. And that's rubbish about GGG not being warmed up, Kell had a real go at him, whereas I thought in the Canelo fight, Alvarez was just waiting for the moment to time Khan. They need each other. Khan wasn't even wildly popular in the ITV days. Maybe with people on the telly, like that guys gran, but not with ticket buyers. When the commentators tell you it's a sell out, it really isn't most of the time.

Ok Mickey, Khan is'nt popular Its been said before , BUT name one other fighter bar Paccy , who will generate massive money for Brook , I can't think of one except Canelo maybee . Khan may well only be popular with the grans , but the grandpas will buy the ppv , without each other theres not much there , i would'nt buy a ppv to see EITHER of them , but i would to see them in the ring together , its a fight that needs both of them , But its also a fight 99% f people think Brook will win ,, after which Khans stock goes down and he will be even less of a name ,,

If Khans management take this fight for equal or less money they need sacking , Its a rung up the ladder for one and a step down fo the other , and the one stepping down will rightly demand more money ,, 70-40 probably a bit too much but 60-40 is fair , and remember 70-40 would be test the waters lets start haggling numbers .

70-40 is the best split, HAS you say.

These past few years i have really gone off Khan, largely because he has been irrelevant at world level at his proper fighting weight coupled with his ill-founded arrogance.

His light welterweight career was amazing until he sadly got destroyed by Garcia. But since then he has basically been semi retired and his worrying delusion has shown through. Waiting to cash out against Mayweather was just desperate and sad.

He clearly wants no part of Brook. I cant think of a man alive on the planet who actually thinks Khan would win that fight. He is obviously and purposely trying to price Brook out of the right. 50-50 is a fair split. The fight wouldnt be so big without both men. Khan needs to acknowledge that fact rather than act like he is some undefeated, elite, undisputed champion. For eff's sake, Brook is the world champion here and Khan hasnt held a world title since July 2012! This poo will define Khan's career with British fight fans.

He looked crap against Peterson the bout before Garcia too.

I dont agree. Peterson was juicing at the time and it was a good scrap where Khan showed toughness. In addition he was harshly treated by the ref in terms of points deduction and probably deserved the decision.

I thought Khan looked great in the Peterson fight. I had him winning on my card and it's the best Peterson has ever fought.
He's always had fast hands but his footwork was sublime against Peterson.
