Comments Thread For: Team Alexander To Khan: You Don't Run ****, No Dubai!

[Hougigo]

I'm guessing either that or the UK. Doubt Alexander would go to the UK. But there must be a reason for the Dubai thing being mentioned. I'm guessing it's not the hospitality.

if anything, they probably want to establish an asian venue.
Arum has Macau on lock...maybe they want to try and get Dubai on lock.
IMO, unless it's a high profile fight, you're better off putting Filipinos there due to all the migrant workers in the area

Who says Khan was demanding the fight to be in Dubai? Isn't this Golden Boy who are trying to do it? Khan will fight Alexander anywhere except St.Louis

Actually, from a financial standpoint, he does run ****. Gotta love Alexander and his constant hesitance to travel and zero fan base.

He does have a fan base, in St. Louis. But people will b*tch if the fight is there.

So if they want it in Dubai then at least pay Alexander a pretty penny to go over there. If Devon gets a large amount of money thrown his way and turns it down, then fine. Criticize him for that.

But he is the champion and is under no obligation to travel.

No he doesn't and of course people will complain about that knowing that it's absolutely impossible to get the decision there (Just see Alexander vs Kotelnik or Lucas)

I certainly will. I want to see him really travel. And yes, I do think he should be paid well if he does. He is the champ in this situation, so argument there, but saying Khan doesn't run ****, when Khan would be giving him a payday irritates me.

Also, he doesn't really have much of a fan base in St. Louie TBH.

There are a lot of Filipinos in Dubai, some of the nicest people I've ever met.

[fightfan2007]

Khan is the greatest ****** fighter to date.
... And Schaefer doesn't want to loose the Orient race to Top Rank.
They should fight in Sharm el-Sheikh.

errr wat about a guy called ali? (some consider him the GOAT)

f it, naseem hamed p"^ses on him...

[ChampBox@PR]

They can pose all they want, Khan is the draw, he brings in the money and the fans. Let alone the money this rich middleeasterns will throw to watch Khan fight.

Alexander cant say shit to dictate terms, unless he dont fight Khan at all!

His fan base in St. Louis aint that big, and ofcourse people will b*tch about it. There is no way to beat Alexander in ST.Louis

[Big Lou]

Alexander's the Champ, Devon vs Ortiz,Berto,Mosley,Guerrero or Maidana would be just as good. So who needs Khan ?
