HBO turns down Khan vs Soto

[Bushbaby]

thankk gooooooodddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

KAHN DOES NOT DESERVE ANOTHER TV SPOT WTF!
I DONTUNDERSTAND HES BEEN KOED COLD TWICE BY NOT SO GREAT FIGHTERS WHAT THE FUICK IS THE OBSESSION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IM BOYCOTTING KAHN


"IM READY FOR MAYWEATHER" REALLY??

"ILL SUCCEED WHERE HATTON FAILED " REALLY???????

**** OFF CON!

You shouldn't be so hard on Khan imo. Because not only were Khan & Pacman fans saying Khan beats Floyd. Floyd fans were hyping it too. That's 3 fanbases right there. The Floyd fans were touting this fight through the roof.

I'd be cool with either tbh though I would thoroughly recommend he doesn't fight Matthysse unless he wants flattening again and nowhere to go.
I think Soto is too dangerous at this stage actually.

I would say he needs to build his confidence up again and take a sort of tune up that won't be a complete walkover but hes just so delusional he actually said it was a lucky punch lol
I mean what the hell do you even say to that? lol

Maybe a domestic clash with Ashley Theophane in the U.K, that would sell well. Theophane doesn't have much power at all and he could always give it the old ''Theophane arguably beat Danny Garcia''
IDK.

Ashley Theophane would be a dangerous fight for Khan. He is very underated and technically far more sound than Khan well capable of beating him. He gave Garcia a hard time

If HBO are turning their noses up at Khan fights and if Team Khan are not budging on their over $1 Million a fight deal Khan will be left with 2 choices taking less money and building up slowly or going for dangerous fights and getting KOd again.

Yeah that decision seems to be more from the fact that they are both coming off of a loss...maybe they see it fit for an undercard

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Khan should seriously just target a rematch with Lamont PEDerson.

The IBF are letting him keep his gifted belt so it'd be a nice way to get back in the title picture. Its a natural fight with the back-story etc.

[Ko King 212]

why dont he go up to 147?

[New England]

LMAO at this poll Soto hasn't stopped anyone since he fought at 130

he's been a good offensive fighter who has hurt some good sized and usually durable guys. antillon and mathysse aren't much smaller than khan. mathysse certainly has the better chin. soto had mathysse hurt, and was actually giving a pretty good account of himself until got badly hurt very late in that fight.




i dont think this is a main event level fight on hbo. maybe BAD, but they'd need a good looking undercard.

the issue with khan is the money. they wont get his fights cheap, so they really cant afford to put the guy on an undercard. they dont want him in a main event at this stage, so they'll wait until he's made a comeback on somebody else's dollar. i think this is a terrific move for them. ask him to take a paycut, and if he doesnt, you make him go through the comeback process/rebuilding process somewhere else, likely in europe.

it's obviously not his name, record, or style that keeps him off of HBO, in my opinion. it's the price. if he makes a comeback in europe first and he gets a nice win then they'll certainly invite him abck.

maidana and peterson are his only options.

If Khan is still after over $1 Million a fight you can see why HBO turned their noses up at this fight. Demanding loads of money per fight means he can only take on dangerous big names to justify the amounts and right now he should lower the risk take on safer fights as he works his way up the ranks with his new coach.
