Amir Khans DVD called "Khan the Champion"

[clintuk]

I think that's either Warren or the rabid British sports media talkin shit. He definitely said he couldn't beat Ricky as of now, it might still be up on SkySports.com. I've noticed that Amir Khan gets quoted as saying allsorts, even when I've seen the press conference, and he's said nothing of the sort. The boxing journalists of this country seem to love nothing better than editorializing his words and making them more controversial. This keeps him in the news, but then doesn't endear him to most fan. No doubt that bastard Warren encourages it

Warren is a nobhead but he knows what he's doing, just giving the public a reason to talk about him, no matter how he performs or who he fights. Whether it's bad press or not doesn't really matter to Warren, as long as he's in the spotlight he gets attention and gets the fight fans talking.

The DVD title is ridiculous though, I like watching Khan fight but all the bigging up after a very controversial win over Barerra is starting to irritate me I have to admit.

But then no publicity is bad publicity

Where exactly has all this 'bigging up' regarding his win over Barrera taken place? All I've seen online is every man and his dog whining about the cut and how the fight should have been stopped and ruled a NC.

Care to post some links to these 'bigging up' sensationalised reports that are irritating you so much?

Fair do's, it's not all over the place, but there are a couple of articles that I found a bit annoying, and the couple of days after the victory there was a lot of talk about Khan being amazing against Barerra, but really it was a flawed win, even though I can see he's improved.

This one talks about him having a classy performance which in no way could have been verified in the nature the win took place.

Khan proves he's the real deal? stuff about proving his pedigree, not quite justified really.

The victory came in the 5th round but was inevitable due to Khan's dominance.


So yeah there's a couple of articles, and I know what you're saying, most boxing experts and websites with credible writers will mention the Khan fight was disappointing. But most novice fans in the UK are sold by that win, and at the end of the day if you're selling PPV's you want to encourage the majority to take notice.
