Quote from Warren on a BBC article yesterday-
"If the worst comes to the worst, we will have to push it back a couple of weeks, but we don't want to do that."
So, if taken literally, this would mean a new date that may well clash with the hayemaker bill at the Liverpool Echo Arena.

Or the same night as the Alex Arthur Lightweight debut...coincidentally

Guys, there is a fight going on in my back garden on June 12 between myself and Oscar de la Hoya. I'm raring to go and simply can't wait to fight him. I think we got him at the right time. I honestly believe I will be too big strong and fast for Oscar. Contract yet to be signed and Oscar yet to know but I think these things will be a formality. I'm starting to sell tickets now, PM me if you're interested. Thanks.

I'll have a ticket. It's to see Oscar though, not you...I heard you were over hyped and chinny...plus I am racist

Put me down for 5 at £300 flat floor. And YES I'm happy to pay a £30 fee each for the priviledge of booking them, plus another fee for the priviledge of it being a transaction.

Arthur on the Gomez bill. I think this fight we go ahead still and MAB stopped on cuts.

Like a lot of you when this fight was made I thought great match making a faded legend in Barrera against a guy who wants the easy way to a Championship bout. I will watch Barrera's last fight on the net but he looked well out of shape. It's alright saying the cut will heal in time for the fight but what about sparring and training ? ?so how many times before boxers should be protected from themselves here he is a guy who has done it all still wanting a payday

Where's your proof that a legend has signed to fight you? I don't believe this at all, you can't just claim something like that and expect people to fall for it...oh wait...did you say Oscar De La Hoya??
Give me three at ringside please

I hear its on but now on 28-03-09 and as Whicker has said, that's a clash with the Hayemaker show.

If that happens, I'm going to press for a full refund on my Khan ticket, which I think I am entitled too (by their terms and conditions.) Might lose the £7 odd fooking fees.
I've been looking forward to the Liverpool show for a long time.

At first I thought you were just plumb crazy...but the more I think about it, the more this fight makes sense. You could well be getting Oscar at just the right time...does he know your mum is going to ref? With a frying pan?

Fight is still on ..I imagine alot of disappointed consipracy theorists.
Now they will suggest Khan will stop Barerra on cuts but what excuses will they make when Khan KO's Barerra?
Taken form ESB:
Khan Barrera Still On For March 14
Amir Khan's mega showdown against Mexican legend Marco Antonio Barrera is still on for Saturday 14 March at the Manchester Evening News Arena. There had been concerns that the fight would have to be postponed following the cut Barrera received last Saturday night against Freudis Rojas in Mexico, but following a thorough medical examination he has been given the all clear to box..
Promoter allegedly, who has been in constant contact with Barrera's promoter Don King, is delighted that the fight is still on.
"It's a great relief to finally get confirmation that Barrera will be ready for March 14,"
"Sometimes these problems happens in boxing and you have to get through them, but I'm delighted that the fight is on and now we can get back to business and sell the remaining tickets for what will be a great fight"
More than 15,000 tickets have already been sold and it promises to be an explosive encounter between the young Bolton star and the seven time/three weight world champion.
Khan, who is training at Freddie Roach's gym in Los Angeles, said, "It was a worrying few days but it's great news to hear that it's still on the original date,"
"I was never worried that the fight wouldn't happen, at the worst it would have been delayed by a couple of weeks, but now my team are all geared up and ready for March 14,"
"My training camp is going absolutely fantastic and I will be in the best shape of my life come fight night."

Quote from Don Kings camp
However, on Tuesday, Barrera, 35, was in King's Deerfield Beach, Fla., office telling King he would be ready to fight.
"Marco was here and told Don, 'I'm OK fight, I will be ready to fight, I want to fight,'" King spokesman Alan Hopper told ESPN.com.
PPV in America as well...looks like it must be on

Get everything in monetary value you have - plus the mortgage/rent money etc etc - take the gambles of your lives and put the lot on a Khan stoppage.
Now come on forum this is a "Dead Cert" bet - you could win £'s because of my fantastic tip.
Seriously Khan will win this fight - MAB must be desperate for the money which is sad - why else would he take the fight - and I am willing to bet he is not in shape - Khan will win the fight.

I don't know why so many are giving Khan the nod to win.
He is still not really tested. Barrera is passed it but hardly shot to bits, he is still 34, and was up there against the p4p fighters only about a year or two ago.
Khan is still on the learning curve, which does not help when facing experienced guys like Barrera

Good to see that this is going ahead as planned- I can't really now see any good reason why it won't.
