I wonder will this be the same size arena as the Broner fight or will they open the whole hall up this time?

This is some pure BS. Khan fights a LW and a guy coming out of retirement and gets to be the top prize, meanwhile Peterson, Matthysse, Garcia, and Judah get matched hard as ****. How is that fair?

Even with the defeats, Khan presents the most money.

Because when they get to Khan it will be the biggest payday because Khan is the most popular. Is he the best out of them? No

Khan is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

The bookmakers will still have Khan a favourite over the tournament winner/finalist, its going to be easy money.
I can not wait for Lucas to shatter that glass.
