I know Khan has his fans and his critics, But like Mayweather said whether you are watching him to win or to loose, You are still watching him. Garcia won the fight, Yet almost every thread is about Khan, Garcia despite the win is barely being mentioned. I guarantee people will still watch Khan's next fights, People will still be booking flights and hotels to see him fight abroad, He will still be on HBO and he will still be headlining, He makes HBO and GBP money regardless of if he wins or if he losses, He will still be sponsored by Reebok, JD sports, and doing commercials for Gallette and other premium brands.
Lets be honest, He is a multi-millionaire, He could retire today and be financially secure for the rest of his life, He could go back to fighting in the MEN to crowds of 20000+ against WBU tomato cans and earn £1 million a bout against journeymen, But he chooses to consistently fight top 10 ranked guys in their country and even their own hometowns.
So when all is said and done, There is too much money involved with Khan win, loose or draw, so love him or hate him you simply can not ignore him.
he was never a superstar, but he's still a star
people will definitely tune in to his next fight to see how he looks
if he were to get KO'd in the early rds again?
then he'd probably be dismissed altogether if he didn't retire
Khan as a star had other monetary incentives: gate, UK tv money, endorsements, etc. He gets paid far more than only his fight purse. Garcia didn't have any of that and might start getting it now.
Look how much Pac does outside of his purse with endorsements and TV rights. Floyd even gets money from hot dogs and beer sold in the stadium.
It means a lot to be a star cause you can command and earn in different ways that others can't.
Now that Morales loss to Garcia doesn't look that ban especially how competitive was he in the fight
Like I said, if guys like Tyson and Holyfield can broke, then ANY fighter can. We can all agree that they did dumb stuff with their money, but point is, they've made more money in their sleep than Khan ever will make.
He may be a big star in the UK, fine, but Im not sure how long that will last in the U.S. He's really not THAT big of a star over here, so he may want to step it up, because Im not sure how good the comp is in the UK.
well,thats youre usually , not to my "usually..no matter what the reason why he ducked khan the fact remains that he did. braldey's win is onlylegit on paper but good luck preaching what you think to the people who saw the fight.. living in lala land? lol, its you saying bradley's win over pac was legit..
No,living in lala land is saying someone who was just brutally knockout should get more respect then a fighter who won a close fight against one of the best fighters on the planet..Your posting style is really familiar..You sure you joined in 2012??
Usually the person who says their not intimidate,are very intimidated(at least that what I've learned in my experience)..Anyway weather Khan was in the div or not(I'm not gonna argue that point or research it)Bradley was after Pac from the door..Like I've already stated,ducked Khan to fight Pac sounds stupid...Bradley has a legit win friend,giving to him by two out of three professional judges..Khan has yet another knockout loss..That's the reality that is upon us friend..If you choose to live in lala land,it's your right..:luvbed:

Face it, Khan got dusted. He thought he was a star and he also thought he was in line for a Mayweather fight. I will give him this, he was his way to being a star.
Sad thing is, with Freddie's help, he became a star, but was never helped with his ring problems.
And please stop it, Khan wont be set for the rest of his life if he stops fighting today. He only made a $950k in this fight, pretty good money, but it's not like it was $9.5M.
Some people need to realize that just because these fighters' names are being spewed around the boxing world, doesn't necessarily mean that they are "set" financially, sorry. If Tyson and Holyfield can go broke, then any fighter can.
After they get their checks, this is what happens (most of these apply):
1. Uncle Sam
2. Promoter
3. Managers
4. Trainer
5. Other assistants
6. Bills, bills, bills, bills, bills, bills
7. Children or child support
8. Family members that are suddenly financially incapable of taking care of themselves when you start making decent money
9. Food and clothing
10. Let's not forget about the mighty tax bracket that changes when you start making more money.
Let's also not forget about these luxury items (cars, jewelry, big houses w/ pools, aquariums, etc.) that require "maintenance".

If Khan didn't keep getting whooped he would of probably got his shot at Bradley.
He low-balled Bradley with some silly offer that and Bradley had bigger fish to fry.
Bradley made the right choice, the world is his oyster.
Where as Khan is back to the drawing board & rightfully so. The guy needs to realise he isn't and never was in any sort of position to bark orders.
bro , you dont intimdate me in any boxing discussions.. and youre wrong, when khan joined 140 div, pac was just fresh of a win over oscar meaning he was just a 135 lber at that time (first ww fight), sorry but you aint one of the most knowlegeable posters around here , far from it...and i aint claiming i am either but atleast i dont talk highly of myself like you do..
i dont care if you attack khan , plenty of people do here..also , my reason for having more respect to khan than to bradley is as reasonable as reasonable can be... khan is a legit loser , bradley is a joke winner.... i take the legit one , sorry

Of course I will watch Khan fight. His loses by KO are always spectacular, highlight reel material worthy of prime time.
His hardcore fans will come with all kinds of excuses to build him up again and will get let down again and again.
It is no surprise that he would fill the MEN arena cause the Brits love their losers. Just look at Frank Bruno's career and his love affair with the public
So says a butt hurt fan..Timmy and Khan where rivals for a long time??How long have you even followed boxing??Bradley has been chasing Pac sense before Khan was even fighting in the 140lb div son..Get ya facts straight..Bradley ducked Khan huh??Only to beat one of the best fighters on the planet while Khan was laid flat on his back by a fighter who was hurried to the top of the div to try and make Khan look good..Listen,I don't want to knock Khan down..I respect the kid..But I will not sit by and allow Bradley to be attack here..Why should Bradley's name even be brought up in this thread??
Oh and to answer ya question,Bradley get's more respect..Better opponent and He Got The Win..Khan did'nt..

Khan never deserved to fight Bradley.
I was wondering how long it would take for any Khan fan to dear mention Timmy B's name..Well while Bradley is sipping on Margarita's enjoying his vacation,Khan was laid out yet again..That's the real joke friend..:booty:

I myself am a khan fan however he's not a superstar businessman yes but not superstar he hasnt really achieved anything I do believe he has potential is he exciting yes but it's his exciting style tht gets him into trouble the kid always goes for early knockouts goes in with his hands down and expects his speed to save him but the gd fighters like Garcia will exploit tht weakness if am honest he needs to become more boring and be more cautious and in the later rounds explode his chin is questionable if he had a better defense he could save himself from ko's but not all the time ur bound to get banged sooner or later but when you look over his fights he gets hit ALOT because of low hands but I want him to go back to the basics and mould as a fighter and pick his fights wisely and lastly probably his biggest flaw is not being a twat calling out mayweather and calling him a chicken cz he dsnt notice u is just another indication that khan believe in his own bravado
I know Khan has his fans and his critics, But like Mayweather said whether you are watching him to win or to loose, You are still watching him. Garcia won the fight, Yet almost every thread is about Khan, Garcia despite the win is barely being mentioned. I guarantee people will still watch Khan's next fights, People will still be booking flights and hotels to see him fight abroad, He will still be on HBO and he will still be headlining, He makes HBO and GBP money regardless of if he wins or if he losses, He will still be sponsored by Reebok, JD sports, and doing commercials for Gallette and other premium brands.
Lets be honest, He is a multi-millionaire, He could retire today and be financially secure for the rest of his life, He could go back to fighting in the MEN to crowds of 20000+ against WBU tomato cans and earn £1 million a bout against journeymen, But he chooses to consistently fight top 10 ranked guys in their country and even their own hometowns.

He is a MultiMillionaire cuz his Familiar is MultiMillionaires.... hes a Rich Kid.... dude is not a SuperStar... he is not an Elite.... he is a Good Fighter... a Top Fighter.... but definitly not an Elite.... if u think Khan is a SuperStar... u might as well say James Kirkland is a SuperStar also LMAO
The funny thing is the responses in this thread just proved his point :lol1: :lol1:
Not really tho bro..Khan is being made fun of and is looking like a clown..Now I know the saying bad press is still good press..But not in this case tbh..Khan is at a very serious point in his career..Another loss(another brutal KO loss at that)and it might be the end at a high level for Khan...
