THERE IS only one show worth watching tonight - and that's in Belfast. Forget Amir Khan against Phil Lo Greco. Boxing and sports fans in general should be tuning in to Carl Frampton's potential classic with Nonito Donaire. A former two-weight world champion going to toe-to-toe with a four-weight ruler in a sold out SSE Arena in Frampton's own backyard - what's not to like? Click Here To Read More]
Donaire and Frampton are much better fighters. Donaire actually has a chance to win. Khan cherry picked such a mediocre fighter that he almost can't lose. 20 to 1 betting favorite Khan will win and declare himself the world's best welterweight.
He hasn't fought in 2 years and it's pure build up for a brook UK megashow... What else should he do? Forego money and comfort just so you..boliodogs.. can see a good fight?

You'd think this biz of 2 fights at once would be easy enough to stop doing, if promoters would work together instead of fighting for a piece of the boxing audience... but it has happened that way for decades. I remember back in the 70s/80s I used to have 2 TVs hooked up to 2 different cable boxes, 2 VCRs... just in case. And I used it that way many times.
I believe that Frampton vs Donaire will be a more interesting fight but not going to sleep on Khan
I see what you did there. Khan... Going to sleep....
LOL
The BT Sport show is much better tonight. What happened to the Carroll and Sutcliffe Jr fights though? The undercard is a bit thinner than I remembered
Lmao! Old Fish-Eyed Frank feeding Eddie Hearn's ego yet again!!...
There's a reason Eddie doesn't come out doing articles like this... And that's because he sells out his shows he doesn't need to worry about who or what clashes with his schedule!!!
Frank you only have yourself to blame your a woeful promoter that relies solely on the WBO to put your fighters in there rankings
Woeful promoter an woeful businessman
I think Khan is going to bomb, he has not fought in the UK for 5 years and people are much more tuned in to guys like Joshua, Brook and even Bellew ATM.
The best Khan can hope for is a fight with Brook, and I seriously doubt that will ever happen.
Only people i know who are going to watch khan are only doing it in the hope of somehow seeing khan lose.
''Lose'' is very diplomatic. The phrase you really meant was ''put to sleep''.
It's cool, Frank. I'll just have side by side streams running if necessary. But my hunch is Frampton vs Donaire will be the stinker of the two fights and Khan's fight will contain the drama i.e Khan taking a walk along Kweer St. a couple of times. I hope.
Ya can't train a chin.
