Khan splits from trainer - OFFICIAL

[p4pking]

So if indeed he has Roger Mayweather train him, does anyone know whether he plans to begin fighting in the states right away

[El Kabong]

He should....he would be bigger than Hatton and Calzaghe if he did that for the plain reason that #1 the competition is better and #2 the fans here would see a lot of him before he reaches superstardom.


Amir Kahn professionally and financially would benefit a great deal by fighting in America.


Just my opinion

He said on FNF at the Hopkins-Calzaghe weigh in that he's not going to wait to come to the states like Hatton and Calzaghe does. He said he was going to do it before he started fighting title fights. The right move imo.

[El Kabong]

He'll win over more American fans that way

Yeah but the British fans are more valuable anyways. I mean if you get to Hatton status you don't have to worry about not filling a building anywhere because Brits will travel. A while ago I worked at a Mexican food restaraunt in a fairly popular tourist destination of a town and whenever Brits would come in I would ask about boxing. All of them were very aware and one time one of them was even Don King's driver and later Carl King's bodyguard. But this was 3 years ago and they all knew Khan. So I imagine he's fairly popular over there.

Well Kahn is on the boarder of being a full fledged champion soon enough. Once he has a title he can go back for a "homecoming" fight which will be HUGE and create a bigger following, especially if it's a fight vs Ricky Hatton which I would strongly suggest happening before Ricky calls it a career

I actually see khan becoming quite a decent LW and filling rickys shoes quite well once he retires to become a promoter. heck khan could actually go as far as 154 if he really wanted to.

Not a massive call for hatton-khan in britain though, both fairly likeable fellas fighting at different ends of their respective careers.

Now hatton-witter, thats a different story!!
