Comments Thread For: Arum: Khan Means Nothing in The U.S., Brook Bigger in UK

Brook is going to wreck Khan if that fight ever happens.

Lol what? Last time he was in the UK they gave free tickets away for a 15k arena. Do you have proof of that? Also how many free tickets was it? 100? 200?

Yep. Mayweather called him irrelevant, Arum just called him a nothing, he can't sell out any decent sized venue.... A nobody headlining MGM in his last fight. Plus why would he offer the Pacquiao fight to a no body?

Khan should turn heel and be the new bad guy in boxing. Needs to start cutting promos dissing the fans.

If Khan really did turn down a Pac fight it is further evidence of why he'd choose Chris Algieri because he is likely to get a Mayweather fight after the "fight of the century". As Weebler raised the point that why would you offer a fight to a nobody? lol.

Arum is just trying to downplay and discredit Khan to protect Pacquiao from the Khan fight because Khan beats Pacquiao even easier than Mayweather did. And Khan may well beat Mayweather too if Floyd hadn't duck 3 times in a row.

Bob Arum clearly has no clue about the UK. Amir Khan is far more well known in the UK than both Kell Brook and Carl Froch combined. Even people who don't know a thing about boxing know who Amir Khan is in the UK. They know about him, but not because he is well liked, most people think he is a ****.

Khan should turn heel and be the new bad guy in boxing.

The hate for Khan is ridiculous Bunch of ignorant fools around here. 17 year old kid won a silver medal losing out only to one of the greatest amatuer boxers of all time. That alone is a fantastic achievement. Yet people have the balls to call him a bum with a glass jaw. Lame. Should round you all up and stick you in a ring with him for 1 round.

Nobody, not Floyd, not Haye, gets more hate than Khan. At WW and below, nobody is a bigger threat to Floyd than Khan. Floyd knows it and so should anyone else with two decent eyes.

king khant aint nuthin here either bobby boy. we hate greed. he dont deserve either manny or floyd, he should get back on the ladder and fight a domestic...kev mitchell or prescott or gomez or willie limond! diaz,garcia...blah blah blha...im bored.....but for the record.hes just a domestic bum weho got found out in england in a very funny fashion lol

UK! Please take Khan back.. Nobody want to see him in the US. You don't come here and fight c or D class Fighter, and Claim you earn a shot at 147 Top dog!!!

With respect to Bob, if Khan means nothing why did he offer them the fight with Pacquiao? (as per the article)

Arum wants no part of Khan, Khan would beat Pac on current form.

Brook is a fantastic fighter and will continue to build his name here in England but he is nowhere near the celebrity that Khan is, Khan is easily on the level of Froch. He is probably more disliked but Arum is speaking about things he knows nothing about.

If Khan means nothing why is his name being mentioned?

Arum is just trying to hate on Floyd for wanting to fight Khan Pathetic sour grapes by Mr Burns

Khan is more well known in the UK than Brook. I'd assume that was the case in America as well (well, amongst boxing fans)? If Arum was trying to sell the fight to casual fans..Khan would be the better choice than Brook.

Amir King Khan is regularly front page news in the UK. He is a massive superstar and household name in multiple countries. Karl brook isn't even the most popular boxer in Yorkshire yet alone England. Khan means everything to the U.S., he's been a headline act in California, New York, Washington and even las Vegas. LMAO! What Newspaper's are you reading like? "A massive superstar" Nonsense. I do think Khan is slightly better known in the UK down to being in the Olympics, that's about it.

Being well known isn't the same as being popular or a draw. Tyson Fury is well known, but he couldn't sell tickets if his life depended on it. And Khan is in a similar boat. Fury isn't nearly as well known as Khan. Khan was selling out the MEN fighting Paul McCloskey. His ticket selling ability in the UK might have waned over the years though admittedly.
