    I think there's still a chance this fight might happen, a minute one, but still chance.

    The public obviously want it.

      Broner vs Khan will happen if they both win their next fights, it'll be a main event type fight look at the hype it's already getting, GBP isn't dumb.

      I'm suspecting Khan/Alexander or Malignaggi rematch

        Malignaggi rematch wouldnt make much sense I Think. Considering How easy Khan beat him last time, nobody would really Want to see it.

          Most think it is Guerrero which would be a good fight I would rather see Khan vs Guerrero and I can't either of them than Broner vs Molina fight.

            You think people cared for seeing Malignaggi/Judah?

            I doubt people even remember they fought the first time Porter is a tough fight for Khan as well. Not sure GBP would want to risk that if they can line Broner up.

              Espinoza's saying that Guererro's in a lawsuit with GBP so things are unlikely with him.

              He's also saying he's all for the Khan-Broner fight but apparently one of them doesn't want it, saying a disagreement on weight, Khan wants 147 and Broner doesn't. Can't really see why he wouldn't.

                Well the plan has always been either Maidana or down to 140. Thing is khan just fought at 144, that's a suitable weight for the fight. They should agree on a catch weight. Perfect situation for one honestly. Khan really doesn't have many options out there tho. So I'm confused as to his next step.

                  To me that sounds like a swerve I'm sure they know Broner-Khan brings the PPV better numbers than Broner vs Molina. They was smart enough to figure Mayweather should pick Maidana over Khan. If it's not The Ghost the only credible WW left is Thurman and he hasn't been mentioned; but hell they still haven't announced a venue or when tickets will go on sale.

                    Broner/ Khan might happen. Broner is pretty headstrong. If he overrules his team and Gbp, they might allow it. That's a big if at this point tho.

                      Yes I do. They filled the Barclay's center, didn't they? It had that local angle to it. The Battle of Brooklyn.

                      Khan-Malignaggi was based on a lot of trash talk - and now people in the UK know that Malignaggi can't punch and was severely outclassed by Khan for every round, they wouldn't buy into it at all.

                      I really wouldn't have any clue how to sell that fight. Especially as they are kind of friendly with each other now.

                      GBP would 1000 x rather throw Porter to the wolves (not saying Khan is that), than Broner. Porter has no value in terms of marketability. He doesn't talk, look good, doesn't have an interesting style or nothing.
