Comments Thread For: Shaw: Golden Boy, Amir Khan Turn Down 140 Tourney

[The Big Dunn]

A 140 lb tourney wont work because Khan is already a huge draw. The other guys need the tourney to boost their profile. Although I think it is a b!tch move by Khan and GBP, they have the money maker so they have the power.

What?

I can't believe G.B. turned down this tourney! I take my hat off to GARY for trying to do the right thing. KHAN has the skills to win this thing but it's obviously about money and not competition.

Promoter Gary Shaw had a recent meeting with HBO and pitched the idea of a big 140-pound tournament. Based on Shaw's idea, the tournament would include champions Timothy Bradley, Devon Alexander, Amir Khan, and Juan Manuel Marquez - if he beats Juan Diaz next month. [Click Here To Read More]

GBP and Khan said "no" to the tourny, or "no" to lottery selection process???

it's pretty clear that GBP wants to feed JMM to Khan.

Bradley and Shaw doing everything in their power to not have to fight Alexander still.

Could boxingscene ask HBO to confirm or deny this story? Because if true it exposes Khan as the biggest hypocrite in boxing history, considering he called for a tournament quite recently.

That said, Maidana should be in the tournament, if he can get a new manager in time.

Goldenboy doesn't need Alexander or Bradley. They could do there own tourny with
Marquez,Khan,Ortiz,and Maidana

[infamous larryx]

so they dont want khan in the tourney cause they only want him to face certain styles??
