Last week, Khan told GQ magazine: "You have to know the best time to have these big fights in your career.
"If you look at Oscar De La Hoya, he fought all the best fighters when they were on the way downhill.
"I want to catch these guys when they have come off their peak. But I have to be careful because there might be a younger version of me who wants to do exactly the same to me."
Having read that quote, I was surprised - and disappointed - to read elsewhere that Amir said I couldn't get him big fights.
Khan added he was getting tougher opponents under [Oscar] De La Hoya. Perhaps he didn't read the letters I sent his father outlining fights I had negotiated for him with Devon Alexander, Timothy Bradley and Marcos Maidana.
All, by the way, are more credible opponents than Malignaggi and Khan could have fought any one of them in the States or here.
Maybe I should have texted Amir about it instead but who knows what I would have received back in reply!
When I took Naseem Hamed to New York for his first fight there he, like Khan, appeared at Madison Square Garden.
But while Naz was upstairs in the big arena in front of 17,000 fans, Khan fights in the 5,000-capacity theatre.
TV backers HBO put it on one of their junior shows, Boxing After Dark, while ITV picked it up for next to nothing.
Has Khan forgotten that, just months after he was scraped off the canvas against Breidis Prescott, I delivered him Marco Antonio Barrera and a world title shot against Andreas Kotelnik?
