Khan will avenge his loss, win a title, and have better bargaining for the fight with Brooks. Makes sense in every way.

---

How much?

---

Probably not as much as if he fought Brooks but the fight would be worth more to him when they fight. If that makes sense.

---

ok, here's the thing . last year , Khan fought Algieri and his purse was $700k (about £500k.) he had been offered £5 Million to fight Brook. so he chose a non-title fight for 10% of what Hearn offered.
fast forward to now, we know Hearn has offered 60% of a £12 Million purse, that's £7.2 million (over $10 million) Khan wants an 80-20 split.
Khan is scheduled to fight Garcia for a title. bearing in mind what he got in his last fight, and that he is the challenger, and add quite a bit because it's for a title, and it's conceivable (albeit generous)to think that Khan's share of the purse will double to $1.4 million (about £1 million). That's about 14% of what Hearn is offering!
so it's looking like twice Khan is turning down Brook to take relative peanuts instead. so, if this is some sort of business decision to get him more money, I ask , would any of you make that decision?
Last year , Khan could've beat Brook, then if there was a rematch , could've commanded double the money as the champ , and won that . He would be £15 million better off , be a World champion and probably be the "A-side" in any fight negotiations with anyone in the division.
so now tell me that his decision makes sense in any way, shape or form?
to be honest, I don't even want Brook to fight Khan, I would let him rot. What Brook should do is try to make the fight with Garcia in the UK or the States. if he wins that, not only is he the main player in the division, but who would Khan fight.
I seriously think if that happened, Khan would retire, bellyaching that Floyd , Manny , Garcia & Brook had all avoided him .
Khan is so deluded that I seriously question his mental state if I'm honest.

---

not that I know how much people get for shit but I reckon khan Garcia is a miles bigger fight than khan algeri, specially considering the history, so its possible that khan will get a fair bit more than $1.5

but it will still be nowhere near as much as he would get to fight brook (like you pointed out)

if he loses to Garcia then the amount he would get for fighting brook would probably come down a fair bit

I hear what you're saying Eric, but I would be interested to hear from someone on here from over the States to see our figures are realistic. see I reckon that in the U.S. they only earn decent money at the top , top end. I'd be intrigued , for example to know what Thurman and Porter will be earning , cos that's a good yardstick.

Glad Khan is fighting Garcia. Very necessary for me. Khan has balls. Garcia really fucked him up last time. Have always liked both fighters. Hope Khan wins though.

Garcia is an easier fight than Brooks for khan. Simple game of percentages, khan has been playing since he left Roach.

FLOYD MAYWEATHER JABS AMIR KHAN; TELLS HIM TO FIGHT KELL BROOK: "MAKE $300 MILLION...THEN WE CAN TALK"

"Well, I don't really know what was told to the world about what happened, but it was just fun and games. You know, no hard feelings. No disrespect. I just shot a couple of jabs at him to let him know that there's only one king. That was it basically. Nothing really more than that," stated retired undefeated former pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather, who recalled his verbal exchange with former world champion Amir Khan during last Saturday's clash between Danny Garcia and Robert Guerrero. Although their encounter was brief, Mayweather made it clear to Khan that he's wasting his time if he's still chasing after a lucrative payday and his pound-for-pound throne.

"I just let him basically know that there's only one king. The only Amir I know is my son, you know, Koraun Amir Mayweather. My son's a young king on the rise. Right now, he's a prince because the king is still here. The king is still on the throne and he's still dictating and moving the way that he wants to move. He's still helping people and supporting people and that's what a king does. He helps his team grow and get to a certain point. I basically just told Amir Khan, 'You know, when you can make $300 million in one night, get in touch with Al and then we can talk. Until then, PYP! Play your position!'," Mayweather explained before landing one more jab on Khan during a recent conversation with FightHype.com.

"It's crazy how fighters seem to forget. This is the same fighter that was working in the boxing gym with my uncle Roger some years back and I was trying to help give him some pointers. I think he was sponsored by Reebok at that particular time. Then I think he lost a couple bouts and Reebok said they had to move on in another direction, and you know which way they came," he added. "I think he's a really, really good fighter. I think Danny Garcia is a very good fighter. I think right now for boxing, for the UK fans, Kell Brook and Amir Khan would be a good fight. Kell Brook, he's a guy that everyone is sleeping on."

Khan will not try to stop him this time, that was where he went wrong last time. With Virgil, it is points victory.

---

This is the main change.

Virgil hunter.

Khan is undefeated with virgil..he will possibly outbox garcia this time by boxing smart...garcia and angel don't really want this fight.

---

Well Garcia is undefeated with his Dad. They wanted the fight before, they said exactly how Khan would get beat, and they want the fight again and their gameplan will be the same and the result will be the same, IF Khan actually goes ahead with it.

---

Garcia does not want this fight and I would not be shocked to see him vacate than take this fight. I think Khan wins a rematch easily. He could win a shut out if he doesnt stop Garcia. Only way Garcia can win is by KO and I dont thin he'll catch Khan this time.

---

I cannot believe how many people have jumped on the "Amir Khan is a high class quality Boxer" bandwagon, even to the extent that apparently Garcia doesn't want the fight!
Tell me, wtf has Garcia got to worry about? I've heard nonsense like:
"in the first fight , Khan was accumulating rounds" - really ? Garcia plugged him in the 2nd Round and KO'd him in the 4th . Accumulating rounds my ass!
"Khan will outbox him and Garcia will be bloodied and stopped" - When has Garcia been stopped?
"Garcia doesn't want the fight" - Why wouldn't he want the fight? he knocked the cunt out last time.
"Garcia will give up his title" - What? why would he give up his title against someone who has no proven power in this division. he's hardly likely to be scared is he? if he gave up his title, he gives up the potential to be an elite fighter in the division and earn optimum money. he's gonna do that because of Khan? come on.
"Khan will keep Garcia away for 12 rounds" - answer me this ? if Khan is such a technically gifted boxer, how come he couldn't stop Chris Algieri coming forward at him and running him down?
Not Floyd, not Manny, not an elite fighter, but a fighter who had been floored 8, yes 8 times in his 2 previous fights. Khan made him look like a World beater!
I suggest people scrutinise Khan's record very carefully before they start elevating him to God Like Status! :rolleyes:

---

Garcias Dad interviewed saying they dont want the fight and said even though its been ordered the fight isnt happening. Obviously you have to take what he says with a pinch of salt but it looks pretty clear they are trying to find a different option.

In the interview he explained they did not want the fight because the 1st was a complete mismatch :D Khan won round 1 and opened a cut in round 2. He got tagged in round 3 and never recovered. After round 2 Khan was a 50s on fav for the fight.

You obviously dont like Khan thats fair enough. I think hes an exceptional boxer but his chin and machismo lets him down sometimes. Getting a handle of that and he can beat anyone. Garcia has a punchers chance against him, thats all in my opinion. Obviously against Khan a punchers chance is better than against most other fighters but still have Khan as the strong fav.

Again its been ordered by the WBC so it should happen. The only reason it wouldnt is Garcia ducking him. Can we agree on that much? Its worth more money than any other fight in the division bar Floyd and Pac so I suppose if he dropped the title to fight one of them it would be acceptable.

Actually Silks, no we can't mate. If Khan decided to fight Brook, it wouldn't go ahead. And I bet nobody would then say Khan ducked him. If Brook tried to get a unification with Garcia it probably wouldn't either.
You're right , I don't like Khan. But it's because he is so overrated by himself and many others. Also, he is throwing a career away and almost becoming a better fighter without fighting . It's bullshit really and he has an unacceptable opinion of his importance.
If you look at his career and what has actually happened IN THE RING since he lost to Prescott, it's not as outstanding as one would believe.
We'll have to agree to differ on this one.;D

I think you might be right.

Angel Garcia on Amir Khan: ‘Why would we fight Khan?’ - Ring TV

---

I'm not sure how you read the article and put that spin on it?

---

Put what spin on it? They don't want the fight written in black and white is hardly spin.

I agree he hasnt done anything special.

He beat Maidana which was good considering what Maidana went onto do after. He beat Judah who gave Garcia a tough fight. Felt he got robbed against Peterson. Beat Collazo which is nothing special but felt he did it more impressively than Thurman (who I fell is the most overrated in the div) and beat Devon Alexander who had previously been ducked by top fighters in the div.

I dont think anyone is debating Khan ducking Brook. Ive said it for years along with most on the forum. But if Garcia vacates it looks a clear duck to me. Porter and Thurman would be acceptable but arent available. Either is Pac or Bradley and that only really leaves Spence, Vasquez, Peterson or Vargas. Spence and Vasquez be very good fights but couldnt see Garcia taking them and Peterson and Vargas step down from Khan imo.

Overrated?

No so special?

Excuse me but khan has beat x3 good welterweights already and completely schoooooooled alexander!

Khan has had much better competition than brook.

Khan is the A side fighter and can dictate the figures.

Lol he does have a point though. Why would he even consider Khan for 50. He kind of brought Khan down to earth. Khan got annihilated by a guy who barely beat a worn out Guerrero who Floyd shut out.
It would be bad enough if Floyd came back for Garcia.

This is what was said.

"I don’t see nothing there,” Garcia told RingTV.com. “(If they fight) it’s going to be a repeat of the same thing again. Danny will knock Khan out. I’m not underestimating him but…I don’t want to get into the WBC politics."
Also..........

" We’re not trying to go on bad terms with nobody,” Garcia said of the WBC. “Were not trying to do that. Why would you be the champ and then vacate the belt? That’s disrespecting the boxing world. If we have to do it then we have to do what we have to do. But I’m just saying I don’t see nothing there for me. (But) we’re not going to run from anybody. We’re not scared of (Khan).”
That tells me he isn't going to duck Khan.
That's what i saw written in Black and White, what did you see?

Action speak louder than words let's see if Garcia vacates the title, that will say it all, just as Wilder may do to avoid Povetkin.
