Why is Golden Boy trying to make Amir Khan THAT guy.

[Nicolino]

Khan was far from being protected. He fought Maidana (in his prime) Peterson and now García. He is young and british, of course GBP will try to build a superstar. GBP is making of boxing someting similar to UFC where the best fights the best. The only exception is Canelo who is too young, they make lots of money protecting him.
If Khan could move his head a little more he would be another different boxer.
He reminds me of Arlovski, a great MMA fighter who has a glass jaw. He always is winning the fight but is a matter of time until they touch his chin and put him to sleep...

Fanbase, talent, exciting fights, there was a lot of potential for Khan to be a major cash cow.

Not in the US.. Dude could barely fill seats less then half the stadium was empty when he fought Judah, this time still lots of empty seats..

Khan was nothing special, 3-4 punch spurts back peddle, then we he would get hurt he would dance around the ring all night long..
