Amir Khan set to join forces with Eddie Hearn

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

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.

It definitely done him a HUGE favour in getting his name back in people in the UKs minds

100% no question about it.
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
