Two grinning two faced cunts getting together. Lovely.
Now watch them manufacture a Khan v Brook ppv fight when both are damaged goods and the fight that should have been made a lot earlier.
One last pay day for all. Khans is up there with Haye for inactivity.
Wouldn’t surprise me if he loses his warm up fight - if he has one
Brook could lose his one and that will be harder than the one Khan will have as he has been out for much longer and is more fragile.
I've heard a rumour that Khan is fighting Broner
I think Khan fights a Euro level guy on maybe Whytes undercard or maybe the AJ/ Parker undercard. Doubt it will be Broner first up. The deal with Hearn is supposedly for 3 fights so a rust shaker seems likely to me.
If he does fight Broner, after the warm up as Alpha says, then Khan gets respect and is being serious about taking on real challenges.Quote:

Whereas if he fights and loses to Broner, even a Khan/Brook fight is seriously damaged.
Khan is a cock! And Broner is also a Cock. But If Broner feels the money is right, he'll fight anyone , anywhere, he has to be given credit for that.
"Battle of the delusion fucking idiots!" Have to say, if it comes off, I think and I hope Broner wins.
No way Khan fights on someones undercard, he'll expect to be PPV against Sam Eggington let alone Broner.
And no way it's Broner first up, that is a perfect headliner in America though for Hearn's new Stateside venture. Smart.
Broner is a very good stylistic match up for him really. Of course khan could get caught even on his best night, and we don’t know where he is now anyways, but I’d expect him to dominate the action as long as he’s not in trouble. Could easily see broner getting shut out and never making it near him. Indeed both guys are asshats though, fun to see either lose.
I don't believe he'll fight Broner first off but I've read a few articles where Broner is his target.
Khan turned down a BIG offer from ITV (obviously after proving really likeable in the jungle) but swerved them for Sky/Hearn.
This reminds me of Hattons comeback and we all know what happened there.
Khan been in some tough fights and taken a lot of punishment over the years and I wonder how much is left in the tank.
Press Conference is today at 12.30pm on Sky Sports News.
3 fight deal with Matchroom starting in April at the Echo Arena in Liverpool.
Gotta be the Brook fight pencilled in for the 3rd fight in 2019.

Hearn on Khan v Brook
“No, he’s happy. I’ve told Kell. We’ve been talking to Amir for months now. I told Kell a while back that we’re talking. I phoned him and messaged him last night to let him no before anyone else. He’s excited. He doesn’t like Amir Khan. That’s pretty obvious. But also it doesn’t take a genius to work out that this brings Brook-Khan closer. This brings all the mega fights for Amir Khan much closer. This deal isn’t a deal to do the Khan-Brook fight but lets be real here, this is a fight we’ve wanted this fight for ages, this is a fight the British public have wanted for ages and it’s top of the agenda to discuss for the back end of 2018.”

AMIR KHAN RETURNS! Full press conference & exclusive interviews with Amir & Eddie Hearn!

I’d actually be supporting Khan against Broner.
Hope he has Dennis Wise in his corner that would be ace
Makes me fucking chuckle them mentioning Pac, Porter, Garcia, Brook,Spence as possible opponents.
If he can actually make WW , or even a catch weight, his opponent will be either:
a. Frankie Gavin
b. Sam Eggington or if they feel really ballsy (:rolleyes:) or
c. The French guy that beat Eggington for the European title. He's fighting a guy the IBO Strap next week. What's the bets Khan fights the winner and goes down the Eubank Jr. route of being a "World Champion."
I get the feeling that Brook/Khan will get blown out of the water because one or both of them will lose before they marinate it enough.
This is set to be the biggest exposure for Khan since he was wrestling with the Bald champ via social media viewed by some tart.
Khan just wants to be in front of a glaring camera no matter if he's being sparked for high dollars by a marquee ginger, playing house on reality tv or again talking about fighting..in front of a camera.. more than he's actually fighting. I cannot see 3 fights in 12 months, no way no how.
he has really short changed himself last few years trying to take short cuts.
Hearn is putting the Khan fight on the same night as Frampton v Donaire.
Warren sounds happy 😂
It's shit for us fans though.
http://www.boxingnewsonline.net/fran...ir-khan-clash/
This is why Eddie Hearn is an utter and complete cunt. Wankers.
It's a shitty thing to do to us fans and blatantly "getting on over on Warren"
I don't think Khans fight is PPV either... it can't be surely so will be on Sky Sports 1 and will slaughter the Frampton fight for viewing figures easily.
Even non boxing fans will tune in on the strength of Amir coming across really well on I'm a Celebrity.
Hearn will probably have him dressed up as a fucking strawberry for the ringwalk 😂
If I was Warren and if it's possible I'd try and set the Frampton v Donaire start time for as late as possible.
Or BT Sport/Boxnation should use their brains and offer it up as a one off free to air and see how Hearn and Sky like that 😎
I can't remember whether the Frampton/Donaire fight is on BT Sport as well as Box Nation. If it is, Hearn might be shooting himself in the foot. What would most people want to watch?Quote:

He just starred and did very well on a Prime Time UK reality tv show that was watched by around 10 Million people ;)
I know I sound like a real hater, but when you say "he did very well" , did he, really?
I watched it every night, (did a rbr on one of the non boxing forums) and he got made to look like
1. a scaredy cat pussy, who said "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here" in the bush tucker trial- CARDINAL SIN!!!!
2. Looked like a slimy fucker who didn't give a fuck for his starving camp mates especially the women who were knackered and starving when he ate the Strawberries
3. Didn't have the guts to own up to the above and blamed somebody else!
4. Was also accused of Bullying along with the Vardy slag, Dennis Wise and that Hollyoaks no mark Jamie.
So I'm not sure it was quite the successful marketing campaign he thought it would be.

And love him or hate him he's been in some brilliant fights and rarely a dull fight.
People will tune in just to see him get smashed ;D;D
This was one of my favourite fights of recent ish years :cool:

Yeah, this is one of my favourites.;D

Every man and his dog has a target on Khan's back now. Khan reckons he wants someone decent, he has the chance to prove that here.
Khan's opponent will be known, mixed at world level but can't crack an egg, that Liverpool arena only holds 10,000.
Chris van Heerden?
Jo Jo Dan?
Bundu? (think he's retired)
Prescott should be ripe for the taking now :-X
The gossip is Amir is fighting this guy who let it slip on his Instagram.
https://www.boxingnewsandviews.com/2...back-opponent/
Eddie Hearn hints at Amir Khan’s opponent as he prepares for TV ratings war with Frank Warren
http://www.boxingnewsonline.net/eddi...-frank-warren/
Khan should have joined AJand his stable and screwed Eddie over.
But they all fight on Sky under the Hearn/Matchroom umbrella anyway.
If you look at it from a different angle it's great news for fight fans because Warren and Hearn now have to up the undercard action and deliver real meaningful fights to try and bring the viewers in but what Hearns done is naughty with the Khan/Frampton timing clash.
Basics Hearns flexing his muscles and letting everyone know he's the main man in terms of UK boxing maybe even World boxing.
For me he's the best promoter out there and has the best stable of fighters.
Froch and now AJ brought boxing back massively to the man in the street and the Froch v Groves fight at Wembley was the launch pad.
I think my thread from a few weeks ago would sort this row out 😎
Hearn/Sky fighters V Warren/BT/Boxnation fighters - one off event.
Some cracking matchups could be made between the two promotions if you look at their fighters. 😉
I would pay to watch Eddie v Frank in a cage fight.
Mourinho v Conte on the undercard.
Eddie is too big and too young for Frank. And Conte would hammer the mouthy Portuguese cunt!Quote:
