Re: Khan 'disrespected'
He's feeling disrespected but he's been sitting on his @$$ this whole time waiting for an opportunity to fall in his lap. One could argue that if he fought someone of note (say alexander or another name) and beat them he could have raised his stock, stayed in the spotlight and increased his cut of the proceeds in a mayweather fight because he brought more to the table. Instead he rested on the laurels of squeaking by a fighter who came up in weight and laid low and allowed the fans to forget he existed. It's a straight up b*tch move. Like getting fired from a job at mcdonalds and then moving in with your grandmother while holding out for a management position at Google.
Maidana got this fight because of mayweather's schtick of being the guy people love to hate and tune in to hopefully see get knocked out. Maidana already shut one big mouth and the casual fans and non fans are hoping he can shut another. Khan didnt establish himself as a guy who could do that. Khan hasn't established himself as a guy who could do anything since garcia had him on jelly legs... it's not like he didn't have the opportunity.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
