Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Pushing To Have Alexander Fight in Dubai

[Money_May]

Oh god..Khan is pushing,lol..Khan should be thanking god to even be consider an opponent for Alexander..Now he believes he's calling shots..The guy is completely lost..I'll willing to bet this fight does not sniff out of the country..

He's trying to push to have the fight in the place that would make the most money. Something wrong with that rome?

If Kevin and Devon are satisfied with the money go to Dubai and whoop Khan

If I was Alexander I'd say hell no

Alexander hasn't been taking care ****. He's a bird ass ninja. Even in beating that bum purdy, he was boring. The bailey fight was disgusting. He beat up chino but Maidana was a bit off to me. Didn't seem like his normal self. He clocked n grabbed him all night long. Devon really lost vs Lucas. Quit like a b1tch vs Bradley, people seem to forget he quit cuz of a lil cut by his eye and really lost to Kotelnik.

And if we go even further back, Urango was handling him pretty well until the KO.

Not a bad move for Khan and they seem to be throwing around a lot of money over there. Will not help Alexanders popularity in America but most Americans has seen Devon fight and not paying attention anyway.

Alexander would get robbed over there.

Alexander would get robbed over there.

Why, is he fighting in khan's hometown?

Khan versus Alexander is not a big fight. Khan has lost two of his last four. He lost to Peterson (who Matthysse just destroyed), was demolished by Garcia and should thank the boxing gods that he won a close decision against Julio Diaz, who almost knocked Khan out.

I respect the role money and promotional considerations play in the upper echelons of this sport. The length of the average boxing career is relatively short so you can't begrudge the efforts fighters and their promoters make to ensure that they capitalize financially while they're on top.

But to see a fighter who has repeatedly failed to live up to his top billing demand that a fighter who has been taking care of his business go to Dubai is just plain sad in my opinion. Devon Alexander is 25-1, has a couple of victories (Matthysse and Maidana) that are more impressive in light of how those opponents have performed since and counts his fight against Timothy Bradley as his only loss.

I hope Alexander doesn't give in here. He doesn't need Khan as a fighter, and
even if the fight offers the most money now, I can't see this helping his career and financial prospects long-term.

I think GBP was caught off guard by TR's Macau thing, so they're trying to do something similar. Khan is the obvious mule, however it's just not the same, it's mostly some oil guys fronting the bill, no ppv market to explore.

I'm not complaining since Alexander has benefited from some hometown setups. And I'd be surprised if Khan can go 12 with him even in Dubai

Come on. Be real. Dubai is full of Arab ******s. Do you seriously think the big money Arabs would have the same interest in staging a fight between 2 American Christians? Khan is a ****** Dubai is full of ******s. It is not rocket science.
