Whether it was solely down to the cut or not Barrera just didn't make it close enough. So you wont create the same buzz, you wont sell 20,000 tickets and you wont sell the PPV.
The rematch is never gonna happen in a million years.

I'm with Fenster, he didn't say MAB was over the hill, but that was what people had said after he beat him, so if he did again he would get even less credit. If Khan gets a world title, then Barrera has to get a win over a decent opponent to get back in the mix for a rematch.
Only in the gutter press have they been saying that. The letters page in Boxing News and numerous well known boxing forums think otherwise.
The fight will sell. Khan fans will shell out for anything,
Barrera fans know he got stiffed.
Khan picks up bauble title, Barrera/King press for rematch, Barrera gets his title at 4th weight

Boxing News readers and boxing forum members are a small minority. How many fans are truly crying out to see the fight again? Not many. And they're not even the guys you need to sell it to again.
The novelty of seeing Barrera live in this country, in a big/intriguing fight, has gone
