Comments Thread For: Team Peterson: We Won't Be Bullied Into a Rematch

[PlayerKiller]

but it still doesn't garner the attention he once did while fighting in front of his UK fan base

in the US IMO he is just another guy on HBO's rotation

nothing more nothing less

he has not turned out to be the draw GBP thought he would at this moment. Losing to Peterson did not help his cause. Whining about it after soured it IMO

I agree Khan is not a huge draw in the US, but VS Zab he had a respectable 1.3Mil viewers.

He is a bigger draw than most at 140 IMO.

Perhaps he is the HBO rotation, but if he keeps putting on these performances, and generates viewing figures similar to Cotto etc.. he's doing ok. PPV is another question of course.

[LeadUppercut]

Khan should give him a week to decide and then withdraw the offer.

Peterson aint getting near 7 figures fighting anyone else.

Khan on the other hand will fight for a world title in his next fight with or without Peterson.

Sure, and then Peterson will always be Khan's daddy.

Khan needs that rematch more than Peterson does.

Right now, Khan may have the money, but Peterson has the credibility.

Do Khan Fans Understand the Meaning of a Mandatory Challenger??? Khan did not give Peterson a Shot, Peterson was the Mandatory and Khan would of been stripped had he not Fought Lamont. I will say that i find it Hilarious that Khan fans feel he is a big Draw in America when at one point SKy shut down their Boxing PPV rather than Showcase his Fights, but we are to believe He is Bigger and more popular over here? Get over Yourselves, Froch and Hatton even came out and said Khan lost but what do they know...they only Accomplished things Khan only wish he could, but they are probably jut Jealous

Yes Peterson was the mandatory challenger for the IBF title, but he said he wouldn't fight Khan if it's in England. It is the holders choice where they fight no? Peterson wouldn't have cared if he had to fight in England? Apart from the fact dat he turned Khan down last year and this year!!!
So Khan said 'tell you what, i'll fight you anywhere' So Peterson accepted...

To the d***head that says Froch and Hatton said he lost, yeah they did say he lost, guess what?? because he did ****in lose you muppets. Officialy its a loss. But Froch said it was a contensious decision and he won't have any concerns about that happening in Vegas against Ward... With 1 American, 1 English and 1 Canadian judge. Id be concerned if i was Froch cos USA are the most corrupt nation in the World. and i wouldn't be surprised if the Canadian had a major biased towards the US either.


Zab Judah is not 40 aswell you t***. I said Casamayor is. How can Judah be shot if he was the IBF world champ? If Bradley had beaten him you'd be sucking his c***. Timothy prefers to lose his WBO belt than fight for the WBC, WBO, WBA and IBF belts. What does that tell you about the man eh? He just wants easy fightz for the rest of his career. As long as he's keeping the one belt and not risking the loss, he doesnt giv a f***.
Kendall Holt is a real small name boxer. Devon Alexander ent s*** either. Maidana beats both of these boys.

[Marshall89]

Khan does not NEED the rematch in the slightest. Peterson knows he'd come back with a vengeance and knock him the f*** out dis time. But Khan WILL get big fights within a year at 147 anyway. His plan has always been to have 1 or 2 fights at 147 against a Brit like Kell Brook or Hattons brother, then fight another American p****hole like Jesse argas and then go for Floyd.
So Khan will tear up the 147 believe me.
F*** all dis talk about Khan though, you fat, biased, wasteman, steroid pumped, small d*** piece of s*** Americansare a waste of space to talk to. Your f***in countries 100 times bigger than England and you hype of having more world level boxers than us??
WTF Man lol. Steroids is wots poppin in High Schools in the US you know, i wouldn't be surprised if 90% of all American sportsmen have used dem before.....
Dirty cheating motherf***ers.
We help you in a f***in war and you cause more British casualties than the f***in taliban........

Ya'll think your bad mans and US is more Gangster than Britain, HA f*** off
Little **** wid guns dats all you are...

50 Cents a wannabee gangster p***hole, thinks his sick cos he got shot 9 times in his jaw and hes still standing. BLOOD, it wasobviously just a warning to yu then eh? If dey wanted to kikll you dey'd shoot you where it matters, not your ****in jaw. All yu ever rap about is how you got shot yu f***in rudeboiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Guess who chills wid dis wannabee gangster, Yeeeees yur boiiii Floyd!!!! the other wannabee gangster. Your family talk about steroids every other ****in day fam, your dad (dat sounds and looks asif hes been abusing drugs for years) sold drugs when he was boxing, your uncle got busted wid a bootful of *******... If any ****** is on steroids Floyd its Youuu

[Marshall89]

and my man BennyST. You said we forget that he got docked 2 points, but was gifted another for a 'knockdown' in the first.
What the f*** is wid yu yanks, yu talk so much s*** you don't even know what the f*** your talking abwt fam. That was a straight up knockdown!!! Yiou know it aswell you just like talking s*** about the Engl;ish eh. If that was Peterson youd be saying the time he fell was a knockdown aswell. Your making up excuses cos you know the ref was Petersons brother enit and deducted a boxer 2 points for pushing which has probably never been done before in boxing history..... while ignoring Peterson going in with his head constantly and duck down........

[Dave Rado]

Peterson can do what he wants but realistically, if he has any pride or self-respect, he'll do the rematch.

Fighting Bradley first could hardly be called a duck. Bradley is a tougher opponent than Khan right now.

[Rome-By-Ko]

Backfire on Peterson? That's funny. Everything has backfired on Khan. Peterson is on top of the world and holds all the cards.

Anyone who thinks Arum won't pay Peterson as much to fight Bradley as he would make fighting Khan is nuts. Arum will put the fight on a PPV undercard and give both guys more money than they would make against Khan.

People need to realize that the paydays that HBO has been giving Khan have been "investments" and not something that Khan has earned by being wildly popular. They overpaid him so they could sign him because they saw a potential star. The hope was that down the road Khan would be a p4p star and help HBO and GBP recoup their losses on his early fights. Now the investment has **** the bed and he isn't worth anywhere near the purses that have been offered.

I don't think Team Khan even cares about the titles for any reason other than the ability they give them to lowball potential opposition to avoid fights.

Team Khan and his fans are so ****** when it comes to saying things like "he gave Peterson a chance so Peterson should return the favor."

Really? He gave him a chance huh? Peterson was the mandatory challenger, he earned the fight, nobody did him any favors.

In fact if you look at Khan's history the only time he has faced a tough opponent (Maidana and Peterson) was when it was his mandatory and he had no choice. You give Khan a choice of his opponent and he chooses the easiest path every single time.

It's also worth noting that with both Peterson and Maidana Team Khan gave them both insulting lowball offers before they became mandatory. Was nothing but a ploy to duck the fights.

It's amazing that anyone has the nerve to act like anyone owes Amir Khan anything. Khan has taken and taken from the sport, lined his pockets with easy fights, and disrespected champions and challengers. He refused to give the fans a rematch of a FOTY candidate where the ref teamed up with him to screw the opponent, now he wants people to feel sorry for him now that's he's on the other side of it?

**** off Amir Khan. I hope you never get the rematch. Move up to 147 and fight one of the Euro Bum alphabet title holders. You don't want to get in the ring with real champions anyway.

Great post...

Fighting Bradley first could hardly be called a duck. Bradley is a tougher opponent than Khan right now.

In that case it would be Bradley who has no pride or self-respect.

Unfortunately we already know that to be true.
