Comments Thread For: Sources: Amir Khan vs Marcos Maidana is Not Finalized

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Despite several inaccurate reports, a junior welterweight fight between WBA champion Amir Khan and mandatory Marcos Maidana has not been finalized for December 11 on HBO. Sources close to Maidana have stated the negotiations are ongoing and progress is being made. A deal is expected by both sides. Several outlets reported the fight was signed by misquoting Khan's twitter page. Contrary to reports, Khan never actually wrote or confirmed the fight was signed. He "retweeted" a message from one of his followers, who said the fight was signed. Reports indicate the fight is likely going to happen in the United States and not in England.

And how do you misquote something WRITTEN on a twitter page?

ya man i agree im starting to get really ****ing sick of all the drama when it comes to making fights happen, dont worry about the money and **** if youre sayin you just want to fight the best out there, or you want to clean out your division, etc so forth just sign on the dotted line if those are the things that you really want and this goes for all the fighters out there in all the weight classes

I don't think we need to worry on this one.

I mean, a deadline hasn't been set by Maidana's management and Freddie Roach doesn't have to face a lawsuit after the deadline they did not set.

God, I swear this sport is full of *******. It's no longer about the sport, it is more about business. You can't believe any big fight will happen until you see both of them in the ring, seconds before the opening bell.

OKay, Khan will get my props if he does sign to fight this guy.
