Amir Khan signs with Golden boy

I was thinking more of Khan-Hatton wouldn't it be easier to make now since both are with GBP? That would be a main motivator for signing with GBP. If Team Khan are realistic and realise Khan is chinny and there is a question on how durable he is in tough gruelling fights as he has not had one yet. They will be looking to cash in on mega money fights before he is exposed. Now he is world champion he can't keep on fighting the Oisin Fagan and Salita bums for ever. That bullshit might work in the UK but not the States. Hatton has to be the monster payday and with GBP it can happen. Hatton will not work with Warren.

Great choice by Khan. He made a great choice to be with this people. Juan Diaz looks like a journeyman now. When they signed Barrera in 2003, he GNTFO by Pacquiao on his 1st fight w/ GBP Hatton signed with GBP in 2007 and in a span of 1 year at the age of 28, he became shot and now his career is over Jorge Linares right after he signed with GBP, he was KTFO in 1 round Victor Ortiz left Top Rank, after he signed with GBP, he KTFO. So much for the matchmaker from GBP. Michael Katsidis undefeated prospect now has 3 losses. Rocky Juarez signed with GBP undefeated, now has 5 losses That's what i was gonna say, it's a bad move. Arum is the best.

if ricky fights khan, same thing what happened to him vs pacquiao, freddie roach will teach khan the exact same things which he did for pac vs hatton fight It could be but I do know it would be huge in the U.K... So it would be a lot of money and that is all that Golden boy cares about...

get ready for khan vs ortiz. I was thinking more of Khan-Hatton wouldn't it be easier to make now since both are with GBP?

warren has lost 2 of his best fight hatton and khan :D warren has been bashing hatton lately , we'll expect remarks about khan being chinny from warren very soon

warren has lost 2 of his best fight hatton and khan :D

Khan/Malignaggi would be the so so soooooo good. Id pay just as much for that as I would Pac/Mayweather. Lets fookin 'ave it.

Horrible choice. Golden Boy Promotions Curse; http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=314294 Why would you sign with a Promotional firm that is looked upon as amateurish compared to Top Rank? Why would you sign with a promotional firm that has NEVER EVER developed a young talent into a great fighter into a superstar into a hall of famer? Why? This is Top Rank's specialty. From oscar, floyd, erik morales, cotto, margarito, kelly pavlik, & now with manny pacquiao, top rank has a rich & SUCCESSFUL track record. Top Rank's match maker is going to the HALL OF FAME. GBP's match maker is a former taco vendor & oscar's childhood friend. Top Rank can put up their own PPV shows. Golden Boy cant. Why on earth would any young fighter sign with golden boy over top rank is beyond me. Well put...............

So much for the matchmaker from GBP. Michael Katsidis undefeated prospect now has 3 losses. Rocky Juarez signed with GBP undefeated, now has 5 losses Regardless of who the promoter is, they cant get in the ring and help their guy fight. And as a fan, Id rather see a guy lose every now and then in good matchups instead of just fighting slobs all the time (hint: Pavlik)

Ray Boom Boom Bautista got KTFO

As long as he fights Maidana next, I don't care who's promoting him. Do the right thing, Amir. Just do it.

heihaci, i think amir-marcos will be amirs last fight in UK, so maybe last frank warren promotion..and the above about GB and their fighters is BS, fighters obvs have a say in which opponent to fight unless his mandotory, Top rank however, recently used Miguel Cotto as a sacrifical catchweighting lamb vs Pacman, sacrificing thier own fighterss to promote the other one yeah that makes sense Fight with Maidana in the UK under Warren Then join with Golden Boy for a fight with Hatton etc

This is B.S Frank Warren will be making purse bids for Khan this Monday for the Maidana fight!

I doubt it, hes probably still under contract with Frank Warren.

From what I am hearing Khan signed with GBP. And, Schafer contacted Lou Dibella for a potential fight with Malignaggi... wont believe it till it is made official...besides he trains with freddie and pac and from what i hear they hate golden boy promotions :D :boxing:

Good. Golden Boy are my favourite promoters right now - I like that they don't mollycoddle their stars. Can't wait to hear Warren's reaction lol

If you ask me this is good news for Khan. He will start to make some nice money actually test himself against some decent opponents. He's been nurtured enough that he shouldn't be protected anymore. He needs to keep learning on how to better protect that chin, but thats Freddy Roach's job and not his promoters.

boxing lately is not about the fighters. I just wonder why we focused more on the promoter than the boxer itself. They can go to any promoter they wanted to have as long as they can give us the good/best fight.

bad move for khan if this is true :) but then again, no links and no proof yet :) so better wait and see.
