Totally agree he should have gone the Kessler route
He did state though (last night) that the mandatory challenger was of no interest to HBO whatsoever so it seems they are pulling all the strings from now on which is a shame for us fans.
Also Boxers are so inactive (2 fights a year etc) these days that they gotta sell themselves in other ways to be know.
If you said the word Boxer to a non boxing fan these days they'll turn round and say Amir Khan
