Sorry to bore you all in advance, but this relates to Brits and their sportsmen in general. I know it's a bit idealistic, but I believe your earnings should relate to your status or quality. i.e. The best should earn the most. e.g. David Beckham was never in the top 20 players in the a World of his time, or the top 100 players ever, but he earns more than anyone , EVER. It's not personal, I like the guy. So using that theory, here goes.
Khan - how do people even consider him as an opponent for Floyd with his record over the last few years? He's not or hasn't proven that he's anywhere near the top of that tree.
Froch - was NEVER the no.1 in his division , he got to the final of the super 6 by default, lost twice in that tournament, but earns £8 million for a fight. Who in the World , earns £8 million a fight? Very few. Floyd, Pac , Canelo (?) , Cotto , . Is Froch the next best out there?
Frampton & Quigg - like I said before, Rigo is the one they avoid, Frampton even said they're below him, but they earn loads more than him. It's nothing against them , I like both of them and am looking forward to the fight, but like I said the Brits have erased Rigo and make them the best in the division.
Joshua - again, I like AJ, but a British title fight is never a PPV?
Hatton - I don't really want to criticise Hatton, he was a magnetic personality and I liked him a lot.
McGuigan - again, he was made out to be a World beater because he beat an ageing champion, and was never the best in his division, but the Brits insisted he was.
Like I said , I'm a bit Idealistic , but the reason there are more Brit champions than anywhere in the World, is because More get the opportunity to fight for it because of MONEY , not talent. Perfect example , Martyn Murray - he's had 4 shots at a World title, the latest in a division that he has done nothing at. How would you feel if you were a contender working like fuck to get your chance and he jumps the queue?
It's not personal, it's that the Brits think they're the best . It happens in every sport! It's a Brit thing. Sorry to bore you all.
