    Frank Warren's column on Khan today...

    For once I agree with him:

    Khan added he was getting tougher opponents under De La Hoya. Perhaps he didn't read the letters I sent his father outlining fights I had negotiated for him with Devon Alexander, Timothy Bradley and Marcos Maidana.

    All, by the way, are more credible opponents than Malignaggi and Khan could have fought any one of them in the States or here.

    Maybe I should have texted Amir about it instead but who knows what I would have received back in reply!

    When I took Naseem Hamed to New York for his first fight there he, like Khan, appeared at Madison Square Garden.

    But while Naz was upstairs in the big arena in front of 17,000 fans, Khan fights in the 5,000-capacity theatre.

    TV backers HBO are putting it on one of their junior shows, Boxing After Dark, while ITV picked it up for next to nothing.

    Has Khan forgotten that, just months after he was sc****d off the canvas against Breidis Prescott, I delivered him Marco Antonio Barrera and a world title shot against Andreas Kotelnik?

    As for the fight, it will be a big surprise if Khan doesn't win.

        Frank makes some good points but he is such a bitter money grabbing ****. He can never just let **** go, the tool.

              The question is how much was Warren giving Khan and how much is GB giving Khan?Let's not forget that Hatton and Calzaghe made more money when they left Warren.I believe that's what Khan meant when he said he was taking his career to the next level.

              When Hatton fought under Warren including.the Kosta Tsyu fight he was fighting for £400k a fight,the moment he left he was earning £1m a fight and things improved after that.It's difficult to fault Khan on such a move.
