    "team alexander" aka Kevin Cunningham don't run shit as soon as they realize that the better.
    Actually you are the one that is being dumb here. If you own a title be it a paper one or not the ultimate decision if the fight happens or not is down to the title holder not the other guy's bank account. The final decision gives the title holder the upper hand. If the money man had the upper hand he would be the one that makes the final decision. Like it or not the ability to say yes or no is where the power lies and if it the man with the money had the real power we would not be having this discussion because the fight would have been signed.

    It is not what I think or what you think that matters here but Alexander's view that counts. But even here you are completely wrong. That paper belt holds huge significance to Khan as it is the short cut route to redemption and a Mayweather fight. Khan is in limbo after some poor performances ,the Alexander fight can get him a Title and is a far safer fight than fighting Mattysse/Garcia winner which he was supposed to be signed up for.
    IMO Khan beats Alexander but loses to both Garcia and Mattysse and at this point in his career the Alexander fight is a get out of jail card,he gets a real chance of winning a title and gets out of getting embarrassed and exposed again by either Mattysse or Garcia.

      Khan wants what Devon has so they better come correct.

          That could apply to Khan just as easy. I don't know what's going on but I don't have any reason to believe one over the other because they've both taken on a crap load of champions for the number of fights they've had and both could be in line for May.
          Doesn't apply to khan at all, khan has shown in the past that he was willing to prove himself first before getting a Mayweather fight. he didn't need to fight Bradley, Maidana, Pederson or Garcia.. But he wanted to prove that he deserve a Mayweather fight on credit not just because he brings money to the table. The same cannot be said for Bradley who admittedly duck a fight with Khan because he didn't want to miss out of a Pacquiao fight in case he lost to Khan and it seems Alexander might do the same thing here too. So yeah it doesn't apply to Khan at all... Here again he is willing to fight Alexander and he has fought Paulie M and Pederson in their hometown in the past even though he was the champion going in, so yea credit where credit is due.
