EDIT: thread reposted because of the hate title in the first one. I will call khan by his name which is: Amir Khan. It's disrespectful not to do so. I'm no Ernie Terrel
Judging by the recent news for NSB about Amir Khan it seems that his career is currently being tailor made for 100% financial gain
Therefore there is 0 % career time available for legacy.
For Amir Khan it means his career is heading in the right direction for himself.
But for us fans it is heading in the wrong direction.
There is nothing wrong with financial gains in a career, it is absolutely necessary. However since he he won the world title I don't think khan has made mention of the word "legacy" in ANY of his succeeding interviews.
Why can't he have a balance between money and legacy?
why couldn't it be a 60:40 ratio?
Or even a 70:30 ratio?
Another interesting point to be made is the fights that are most appealing to fans usually do make the most money and of course it will add to your legacy.
Khan-maidana could have been a "piss poor" man's sonny liston moment. It's a shame he completely squandered the opportunity.
Brave fighters like Sugar Ray Leonard would have jumped at the opportunity to fight a big hitter, which he proved when he fought tommy hearns.
Remember when leonard-hearns fight was delayed so they could squeeze the maximum money out of it?
It seems richard shafeur is using the same "bulid up" reasoning with khan-maidana.
Do you think he is playing another propaganda stunt? or is he telling the truth?
Amir Khan, If Muhammad ALi is really your idol, why don't you model your career in the similar way?
ALi was SRL's idol and he followed a similar career pattern.
Guess what? he is now a top 10 p4p.
