I’m Doing This For The Fans, Not For Khan

For the fans? in my as*..you do it because this was the best payday you could get, you hesitated taking the Khan fight but when Mayweather picked Cotto, you had no other choice to accept GBP's offer to fight Khan.
Please don't tell us that you took the fight for the fans...

Lol this, it's a million dollars for God's sake

dont get me wrong i do rate peterson as a world class operator but, this claim of the so called career defining fight is not with this fellah.......whats his name?......ermmm.....khant?
this khant fellah is not somebody who can lay claim to be "the man to beat" when he has been kod in 54 seconds by a nobody and still fights like an amateur in my view.
there is no denying that he can fight at world level but, he was almost stopped by his own corner against maidana and knocked down by two nobodies in willie limond and the well and truly shot michael gomez.
further to that he was losing to mccloskey and never gave the poor fellah a rematch.
the mcloskey fight was an absolute robbery of a stoppage if you compare that to the fight with lamont.(1st one).
he has only started crying because he lost, what about a mcloskey rematch?
you watch khant avoid that one.
barry hearn should have done more to secure a rematch in such unfair circumstances especially as it cost his man the "0".
anyway, lamonts career defining fight would be against somebody who is truly great in the modern sport and not this geezer who has a record of just 26 fights and 2 losses. he(khant) has a loooooooooong way to go backwards before he can go forwards and then upwards in my view.
if i were lamonts handlers, i would be looking for the early "catch him cold" knockout. or atleast throw powershots every punch all night and i think he can do the job and get rid of this waaaaaaaaaaay over rated amateur.
the ****s been on tv saying "its make or break" what? ****! after only 26 fights (mostly against nobodies) and he is saying this? hmmmmm, not the words from a so called star of boxing, in another 20 fights or so and having racked up wins against the likes of alexander,a maidana rematch,bradley,kev mitchell,katsidis,marquez,kell brook and possibly some of the elite f/weights that may come up like juanma/salido/gamboa/de leon/donaire etc then.....and only then would i say.......yeah, a modern great. ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

I was readying this all the way to the part where you said McCloskey was winning until it was stopped and it was an absolute robbery then i automatically disregarded the lot because all of what you said is bullsheet. what a fool

[SelectOne]

Peterson you took this fight for the money you say its all about choice and for the fans but in reality you had no choice without khan you wouldn't even make the payday you got in the first fight if so but so you were forced into a khan fight

[Dirk Diggler UK]

I think hes being genuine to an extent. He could've made more fighting Marquez. I have great respect for him taking the rematch.

you have not given an answer as to why!? is it because you are equally as amatuer as khant? mccloskety desrves a rematch based on a very close fight if anything aaaaaaaannnnd, i said that this was my opinion.
your lordship.

[Ringlife]

Yeah ok well I am glad you are doing it for the fans. But I think your doing it for the 50/50 split. But you saying your doing it for the fans sounds better.

[kiaba360]

I was really hoping he would get in there with JMM, but this is great too. Whichever choice he made was gonna benefit the fans.

its purely for the dollars Lamont. Your own manager Hunter has been saying that since December 10th.
