Amir Khan signs with Golden boy

[Spacey1991]

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

[heihaci]

This is B.S

Frank Warren will be making purse bids for Khan this Monday for the Maidana fight!

[sultanisking]

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

[PittyPat]

As long as he fights Maidana next, I don't care who's promoting him.

Do the right thing, Amir. Just do it.

Ray Boom Boom Bautista got KTFO

[OnePunch]

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

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)

[DonTaseMeBrah]

From what I am hearing Khan signed with GBP. And, Schafer contacted Lou Dibella for a potential fight with Malignaggi...

Horrible choice.

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.
