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

[Dave Rado]

It doesn't matter now does it? Khan didn't even enter negotiations.

Exactly - the Showtime tournament took months to organise, but team Khan has reportedly rejected it out of hand without even negotiating, after Khan had actually called for a tournament very recently - so his bluff's been called and he's been shown up again (unless Shaw is lying, which is why I asked if Boxingscene could ask HBO to confirm or deny the story).

Khan and Golden Boy are going to try and cherry pick there way through this. No one should be surprised by this. Khan is a *****.

Supersix tournament took months to organize but still had flaws: Namley the locations of the fight. Froch's Promotor Hennessy had an agreement with Sauderland to have the AA-Froch match in UK but that didnt happen.

So even after months of negotiations it has had a fair share of problems

You could show a video of Lewis-McCall - so what? At least he took that fight, knowing it was risky, against the advice of his own promoter. He came back well from that, and has dramatically improved under Roach, and deserves credit for doing so. He's beaten two top 10 fighters very convincingly in the last 12 months. He deserves to be criticised for apparently not wanting to fight the best, but you go too far and make yourself look silly by pretending he's far worse that he actually is.

You're clearly a business fan and not a boxing fan. Why don't you find a Wall Street Journal blog to post in? This forum is for boxing fans.

Exactly. **** all this money talk. Get the fights to happen.

This is the reason GBP are protecting this fraud

No he didn't. If he had, he could sue.

Even if that were true, which I dispute, that's a reason to negotiate a better agreement, it is not a reason not to have tournaments.

No surprises there, Khan isn't going to fight real competition anyway.

Who is Khan? Anyone enlighten me as to who he has fought? Was this the guy that got knocked senseless by the first puncher he faced? I'm sorry but i don't get it at all.

I don't get it either. He hasn't beaten anybody. And he got KTFO in the first round.
