Who wouldn’t want to plan, shop for and then celebrate their wedding day in Bolton

Apparently from the rooftop terrace you can enjoy views across all of Bolton.

I wonder what went wrong

Apparently he lost that 5M after the Canelo fight.

Everyone around him was fleecing him dry. His own family fleeced him aswell.

[JimJim2009]

I thought it had cost him £11m ?

The books don’t balance. There’s money being paid to people that didn’t need to be paid and it’s got lost. He paid for services that hadn’t been done as well.

Bummer.
I hate it when that happens to boxers, even if I never liked them in the ring, it's a far too common a story.

Imagine if Khan put it in bitcoin instead, could have forced mayweather out of retirement

[gregregegg]

Crazy to think that kell and Kahn fought Crawford, a garenteed loss for less money than they could of got for a domestic 50-50, with big dollar rematch potential. fornicate they must hate each other to not wanna lose to the other that bad.

I get it, the are people that losing too must be devastating... but This fight 3 years ago was full Wembley vibes....could of made it a 2 fight deal with trilogy tie break option ... both pocketed squillions. Could of sailed into the pandemic/retirement with 8 figures In the bank.

Amir Khan ready to agree long-awaited British battle with Kell Brook at Manchester United's football stadium

"Imagine making a huge fight like that happen at the Old Trafford football stadium," Amir Khan believes the time is right for him to settle his rivalry with Kell Brook at the home of Manchester United

Amir Khan says he is 'ready to take' a long-awaited fight against Kell Brook - and hopes the British battle can be staged at the home of Manchester United.

The former world champions were unable to agree terms in the past, but Khan recently reached out to promoter Eddie Hearn, in a bid to finally deliver the big domestic clash this year.

Khan has been absent from the ring since a victory over Billy Dib in July 2019, while Brook's most recent fight was a stoppage loss to WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford in November.

"I was on the phone to Eddie. I said, 'Let's get the fight made.' We're not getting a clear response from Kell's team, that they want to take the fight," Khan told Sky Sports.

"It has been a fight that we've been talking about and it obviously didn't happen because I was campaigning in America, fighting over there.

"When I came back to the UK, I had mandatories. I had to defend my titles.

"I think now is the right time to make that fight happen with Kell. We both have been world champions. We're both British and in the north as well. Imagine making a huge fight like that happen at the Old Trafford football stadium. It would be a massive fight.

"Look, we're ready to take it, and I think it will be good for boxing, especially to settle the score and put him in his place."

Khan is confident he can still challenge another world champion, having held titles in two divisions, although the lure of a fight against Brook is now his main motivation.

"Look, I'm still up there in the top 10, in the world," he said. "Getting a world title fight I don't think will be a problem.

"But what would be even bigger than a world title, because I've won a world title before, would be a British rivalry fight between myself and Kell Brook.

"That's something that would be big in Britain. I don't know how big it would be in America, but I know for a fact that us both being British, it would be a massive showcase here."

The 34-year-old hopes to eventually secure an elusive showdown with Brook after being frustrated in his attempts to finalise fights against the elite duo of Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather.

"There's always been talk about Manny Pacquiao," said Khan. "For years and years, we were talking about the Manny Pacquiao fight.

"We've spoke, we've negotiated deals and then it just falls through. It never happens.

"Same thing happened with Floyd Mayweather."

You joking? This will sell very decent once the sky hype machine kicks into gear. Yes, they are both well past their primes but that won’t affect ticket and PPV sales negatively.

I agree,lots of casuals won't even know who they both fought last time and if they won or lost,they are the ones who'll pay for it

Who wouldn’t want to plan, shop for and then celebrate their wedding day in Bolton

Apparently from the rooftop terrace you can enjoy views across all of Bolton.

I wonder what went wrong

If Khan had a brain he would be dangerous. Why didn’t he just buy an old bingo hall or something
and re-develope it.

In fairness to Amir he wouldn’t be the first wealthy husband to have indulged a wife’s ill thought out business idea.

I can well imagine the glamorous Faryal kicking up a huge hissy fit and saying “if I have to live in this god forsaken gloomy hellhole then you can damn well finance my wedding theme park”.

I get what you are saying. Maybe it will do 'ok figures' but nowhere near what it would have done three or four years back. And only because there is severe shortage of genuine domestic ppv rivalries. When the proposed figures are put on the table will Khan and Brook have second thoughts and wonder if it's worth it?

It was nothing to do with his wife. It was Khan’s dad’s idea...

[Switch hitter]

Same thing over and over again. Khan makes all the noise because nobody is talking about him but doesn't fight Brook. The fight won't happen and there's only one person to blame for it and that's Khan
