Comments Thread For: Khan: I Wanted Maidana So Bad, I Agreed To Las Vegas

[Agent Mulder]

some of you guys discussing about khan being a bigger draw then maidana...LOL...i would go all out and say he generates more PPV or ticket money then bradley maidana and alexander TOGETHER!! you have no idea how powerful his effect is on the asian / ****** world if you are living in the USA or outside of the UK....they dont have boxing stars that often and you better believe when one comes their following is like nothing the average white or black boxer gets...similar to pacquiao...who enjoys the following of his entire country, Khan is backed by an entire proud religion, what Khan brings to the table is far more then any of the other names ive mentioned.

i will actually pay for this ppv when he fights maidana. hopefully GB stack the card like they have been doing recently and also hopefully the other 2; bradley and alexander can get it on and this division can be sorted out in 2011 with a unification fight

I hate blind admiration like that. Like, no matter what happens in his career, he can get KO'd a la prescott all over again and still have a legion of idiot yet loyal fans. People like that aren't fans of boxing. And his supporters here shouldn't make it seem like that blind admiration he gets because of the particular God that he prays to is something that deserves respect. **** that. same goes to the legion of pac fans who won't watch boxing after he retires.

I hate people like you who hate on people for losing once. If everyone did that then half the legends we have now would be hated because they aren't undefeated. Childish people like you clearly haven't moved on and just blindly hate people for the sake of it.

IMO people like you aren't real boxing fans.

fcukin poor you amir, having to fight in las vegas. its most fighters dreams to fight there, but khan seems to think its a concession?

[Rome-By-Ko]

Yea right...Khan knows he has to make a name for himself here in the states has nothing to do with how bad he wants Maidana...

[Pin Galarga]

BS. Khan was not the one trying to make the fight. Clearly Maidana was the one who sacrifice more to make the fight happen. He took 3 times less money, He's fighting in neutral grounds and I'm sure gave up other things like gloves, Who comes in last etc.

I like Khan on this fight, but less be real here. He was the one with the demands.

Maidana will be lucky to lay a glove on Khan, he isn't winning by decision anywhere in the world.

Hold on for a sec. Paulie landed but madiana won't? I have heard it all now

Paulie is a lot faster/leaner than maidana their handspeed don't even compare.
Maidana loads and swings too much.

According to WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan, he wanted Marcos Maidana so bad that he agreed to give up the homefield advantage and allowed Golden Boy Promotions to send the fight to the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Khan tried very hard to have the fight in the UK, but the numbers wouldn't add up with the amount of money being requested by Maidana. Khan has promised that his next fight will take place in the UK.

what's wrong with fighting in vegas. Khan always talked about about how he would wow the american audience with his skills and make them his converts, this is just the right place!
