Comments Thread For: Amir Khan's Father Confirms: Marquez-Diaz Winner is Next

[Rick Grimes]

Look man Khan has the same size fanbase as Money, Pac-man,Marquez. He has a global following, All of Europe, All the middle-east, All South Asia (Pakistan,India) and even the far east (Japan/Philliphines). Now he is making inroads into America.

So lets not kid ourselfs, Khan is a PPV star in the UK and will be a PPV in the US soon enough, He is just under-rated in the US at the moment because he is British-Pakistani.

I dont think you know how massive his fan base is, Even folk in Japan know who he is.

Stop talking **** Khan went back on free TV in the UK because he made more money that way. He has never been a PPV star over here.

Khan went back to free TV because Frank Warren had him on PPV and it hurt his popularity, Free TV is the best thing for Khan because he has a massive national following, I mean more people stayed up to watch Khan fight than the EUFA cup.

In America thats like more people staying up to watch Mayweather over the Superbowl final.

Also ITV brought boxing back to free Tv for Khan, They didnt bring boxing back to ITV for Froch, Murray, Mitchell but they did for Khan. Not only that they showed it live!

Now that shows just how massive he is.

You're trying too hard, YOU said he was a PPV star now you are admitting he isn't. Now you are comparing the Uefa Cup to the superbowl? People will watch Khan if he's on TV for free, his PPV sales were below 100k, he is not a big draw.

Awesome, If Marques is still half the fighter he used to be he will put an end to the hype show. Although I'm assuming Khan will make his opponent move up.... **** move on his part.

Amir Khan vs Victor Ortiz, how about that 1 Mr. Khan???

[dorruel2.0]

Khan decided not to be in a 140 tourney to either fight another past prime legend, or a chubby lightweight who had horrible outings at anything over.
Khan is the biggest ***** in boxing...after Haye.
I dont hate on the british, but their fighters are so protected and soft, its disgusting.

[Dick Buffman]

His manager did, he didn't. He sacked his manager. He's still Khan's mandatory and if Khan doesn't want to fight his mandatory he should vacate his title.

And LOL at talking about someone other than Khan *****ing out of a fight, after GBP bribed Maidana's management to step aside not for just one fight but for three fights, which is the biggest ***** move in the entire history of boxing.

Marquez is a joke fight and you know it. He doesn't belong north of 135, and is still a natural Super Featherweight. Plus his age is starting to show.

Bradley and Alexander have never once called him out, so your claim that they want to fight him but just can't get it is ridiculous.

The fighter who does want to fight him is Katsides, and that is who Marquez should be fighting next.

It would be funny if Diaz beats Marquez (which is possible, because Marquez is getting old) - Malignaggi beat Diaz, and if Khan fights Diaz in preference to Maidana then what little credibility he has left will be shredded.

This is the only person in the thread that knows what they're talking about.

[Phatfarm1980]

I'm done trying to defend Amir Khan. He and his team do himself no favours!

I would have more respect for him if he actually come out and said 'My chin is made of cheap glass and I can't take a shot, therefore i'm gona fight people who can't hurt me'

Atleast people would respect him for honesty

[lopez36]

atleast fight someone your own size
