Amir Khan not interested in HBO 'Super Six' style Tournament

[Mr Punch.]

Amir Khan (23-1-0) has scuppered a HBO plan to create a ‘Super Six’ style tournament at junior welterweight according to promoter Gary Shaw.

Shaw, who represents Timothy Bradley (26-0-0), revealed his man wanted to participate as did Don King’s fighter Devon Alexander (21-0-0).

Despite the large sums of money on offer, Khan was reportedly not interested. Nor were other HBO targets Victor Ortiz (27-2-1), Marcos Maidana (29-1-0) and Juan Manuel Marquez (51-5-1).

Golden Boy’s Richard Schaefer is reported to have said: "No, (Amir) Khan doesn't want to fight this one, and (Victor) Ortiz doesn't want to fight this one.”

This is old news

If ****** ass HBO wasn't in bed with GBP they could set all these fights up, but Khan, Ortiz, and Maidana already have their HBO dates locked in until the GBP-HBO output deal is over. HBO is full of lazy **** execs.

I don't see why this thread should be aimed at Amir Khan when the article says neither Ortiz, Maidana or Maquez would participate.

TBH the way the super six SMW is turning out. i'm not really that excited of that prospect either. besides, i think those guys will have to fight one another at some point anyway. No need to tie them all up and leave other possible good fighters out.
