Hearns offering Khan £4.5 Million and willing to let him co promote.
Safe to say it's 100% Mayweather, Pac or Brook next for Amir :)

Huge money in it for Khan and a world title belt up for grabs.
I think he boxes Brooks head off anyway and takes his belt pretty easily so he's in a prime position.
I'd love to see Mayweather out of his comfort zone and fight Khan in front of 80,000 at Wembley.
He said after Froch/ Groves 2 that he'd love to fight at Wembley but I reckon now its on a plate for him we'll just hear more BS excuses to swerve Khan ;)
Khan wants floyd/pac.
I think khan deserves a shot at both because of his style.
4.5 million for khan just cant be ignored but lets hope brook can get another fight in before after that post leg injury..
Why is brook such a threat to khan anyway...did he really beat porter.?..nope
Brooks is a very real serious threat to Khan. Amir has improved since his first fight at welterweight and I am not so confident that Kell will win now. It is a lot closer.
Khan said Hearn needs to stop being disrespectful, he shouldn't book stadiums in advance, Amir Khan is the A-side, Amir Khan will call the shots, Brook is not on Amir Khan's level, Amir Khan is a star in America, Amir Khan has just sold out Las Vegas.
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).
I can understand Khan wanting Floyd and Manny but I hope they both fight each other and Khan then has to turn around to the B side. :)
Khans best financial bet is to box in the US against PBF or Pac, trouble is PBF and Pac know that! Not a good negotiating position for a three time loser.Quote:

Talk from Khan about being disrespectful is his normal full of himself bollox, who the fuck does he think he is?

Bradley vs. Chaves brought in healthier numbers with 966,000 viewers with a peak of 1.087 million. Those aren’t bad numbers considering that Bradley was fighting a little known guy in Chaves.
“Viewership for Sat’s #boxing cards: @hboboxing Bradley-Chaves averaged 966k viewers (1.087M peak), Lee-Korobov 849k, Benavidez-Herrera 807k.”
Just makes Khan v Brook all the more likely now unless Pac throws Amir a bone ;)
Is that true - Khan fight only sold 4000 tickets at MGM ???

He is exaggerating or lying as we call it.Quote:

I wonder what kind of deposit you have to put on booking wembley
Don't let the truth get in the way of building good propaganda. Floyd is ducking Khan even though Khan doesn't get ratings, doesn't sell tickets, doesn't have a belt and isn't a mandatory. How does Floyd manage to duck these men that have such a rightful claim?Quote:

That said, he is still clearly the draw when it comes down to a head to head with Brook.Quote:

Eddie Hearn is boxing Floyd off here and into a corner if you look at it in a business sense.
Floyds only got a few fights left and Hearn has booked Wembley.....Khan is out of contract with Golden boy now as the Alexander fight was his last in that contract so he's a free agent. 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 ;
If khan has t who has?Quote:

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?)
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
logical opponent after Pac of course
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
I'd look cool as fuck if I'm being honestQuote:
