The men in charge not having the balls to enforce the regulations.

To be fair, part of that is Alexander. I remember the struggle to get rid of Bradley - Alexander tickets a few years back. I think iirc they sold a ridiculously low amount before they started giving them away. Truth be told though, Khan is a much bigger star in his own mind than he is in real life. That said, he is still clearly the draw when it comes down to a head to head with Brook.

He sold 4000 tickets in a 16,000+ seat venue and didn't rate in the top 20 TV viewing figures for 2014 (Showtime/HBO).

this might sound daft but I don't think Khan himself has a rightful claim to face Floyd - but his style does

Floyd already had a poll asking his fans if they wanted to see him fight Khan. Fans said yes, Floyd fought Maidana
Re: Wembley Stadium booked for Khan v Brook on June 13th 2015
I also think Floyd's earned the right to duck him too - if that make sense

garcia perhaps, prescott and peterson not in a month of sundays
so between us weve come up with one
add manny to the list
theres 2
so in the whole of boxing theres 1 fighter who deserves a fight with floyd more than khan and another that you could argue either way
so that probably concludes that khan fighting floyd is a legitimate and deserved fight
(plus what did maidana, guerro, alverez, ortiz do to "deserve" a fight with floyd more than khan has?)
Re: Wembley Stadium booked for Khan v Brook on June 13th 2015
You know what I stand corrected on this one - you're right.
I just looked around and he is the logical opponent.
A lot of it stems from my dislike of Khan and the fact he might just get Floyd at the right time and get the UD.
Would be unbearable.
Petersen and Prescott was tongue in cheek by the way
Re: Wembley Stadium booked for Khan v Brook on June 13th 2015
logical opponent after Pac of course
Re: Wembley Stadium booked for Khan v Brook on June 13th 2015
I don't know why people don't like khan, yeah he's a nob in interviews but how cool.would you look being interviewed in front of millions of people
Bottom line for me is he's always in good fights

Next time Khan fights is gonna be in the uk I reckon and with or without Brook I'd bet a lot of money that Hearn is involved ;).
Might be a genius bit of promoting going on here ;
Has Khan said who's going to promote him?
