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!

[Mark TKO]

I’d actually be supporting Khan against Broner.

Hope he has Dennis Wise in his corner that would be ace

[Primo Carnera]

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 () 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.

[Dark Lord Al]

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.

Hearn is putting the Khan fight on the same night as Frampton v Donaire.
Warren sounds happy 😂
It's shit for us fans though.

[Master]

This is why Eddie Hearn is an utter and complete cunt. Wankers.

[smashup]

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?
1. 2 currently World ranked ex World fighters of the year in a packed out Belfast. Or....
2. An ex World champion from years back who got an Olympic Siver medal 14 YEARS AGO, who hasn't fought a relevant fight for Donkey's years, versus a gimme? And furthermore, Khan WILL NOT SELL OUT whatever arena he's fighting in. He doesn't have a big fan base.

He just starred and did very well on a Prime Time UK reality tv show that was watched by around 10 Million people

[Primo Carnera]

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.

The gossip is Amir is fighting this guy who let it slip on his Instagram.

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)

I'm taking credit for making this match.
