Arum blasts Khan:

http://www.dailystar.co.uk/boxing/44023 ... y-Pacquiao

Looks like Khan could very easily lose out on that big payday he's been crowing about! He's made his own bed as far as I'm concerned. I hope Mayweather overlooks him as well then he'll probably be forced to fight Brook. Part of me would like to see him fight Mayweather because I do think he would give him problems but a bigger part of me wants the Brook fight as there's nothing like a big domestic ding dong!

"We offered Khan the Pacquiao fight and all we got was silence"......

Khan turned the Brook fight down claiming that Brook was unknown in America. The Ring magazine have now put Kell as #1 welterweight above Pacquiao, Arum talks up a Kell-Pac fight whilst Showtime refuse to show Khan's fight.

I think we are letting our dislike for Khan get the better of us

NO ONE believes kell is bigger that Khan and NO ONE believes showtime are more interested in brook than Khan

Kells stock will go down when mayweather dumps his belts... His belt is his only bargaining chip, once they are all up for grabs he ain't got zip

Bob Arum does.

What has that got to do with him being known or unknown? He did not say, "not ranked" or "not respected" but unknown which was to mean by the mass public of America. A Ring rating does not change that.

If Khan means nothing in America, why was he offered the Pacquiao fight?

And considering the viewing figures Brook has drawn in America, I don't think Pacquiao will be calling anytime soon.

So you can interpret for Khan?

When Kell prepared for Porter he trained in Floyd's gym in Vegas. Khan repeats that "Floyd doesn't know who Kell is". What does he mean by that?

What does he mean when he denies turning down an IBF eliminator against Bradley?

What does he mean when denying that Showtime weren't showing his next fight?

I do not need to interpret anything to understand that their is a difference between being rated and being known.
