Collazo taking a dive?anyone?

[Isaac Hunt]

Wait, so that's your source? Gary Shaw? Gary Shaw - Tim Bradley's promoter at the time - saying that Khan was trying to sidestep Maidana? The title of the article literally says "Industry Chatter"....LOL yeah sounds like "FACT" to me.

Let me educate you. Amir Khan got a shot at WBA Champion, Andreas Kotelnik. Dimitri Salita was Kotelnik's mandatory so he was paid step aside money so Khan could fight Kotelnik.

Salita was then Khan's mandatory. Khan knocked him out in 1 round and fulfilled his mandatory obligation. Marcos Maidana then became the next mandatory but Khan was entitled to a voluntary first which he took against Malignaggi. He then fought Maidana in his next fight. So there was no 3 fight or 1 year gap.

Those are FACTS. No "industry chatter". A timeline of events of what happened. Khan faced Maidana when he was supposed to and the fight didn't go to purse bids either.

You're welcome.

This one was one of the earlier threads on the subject,the story ran and ran and is along the lines of my post. The whole affair was ugly and disgraceful. Maidana's manager signed the deal and Maidana took legal action against him because he felt he had been had over.Please go through the old posts and do some research rather than wriggling and trying to prove you are right when you are not. You will notice that Maidana fought 3 other fighters while being mandatory. There was a 3 fight duck deal ,he did have to enforce a purse bid and there was a big delay before he fought him. There are loads of people on this forum who remember this. How long have you been on this forum because you either have a selective memory or did not read the posts at the time.
Like I said from your tone I felt you were not going to admit you were wrong I am going to post a thread and poll on the subject and i am sure that will dig up the info you really don't want to see as it does not fit in with your blinkered belief system. But even you with your twisty ways must see that Khan did not fight "Maidana when he was supposed to and the fight didn't go to purse bids either"

I don't need to go through "old posts" or "industry chatter" to know what happened.

What 3 fights did Maidana fight while he was mandatory?

Khan fought 1 fight while Maidana was mandatory. Khan had already fulfilled his mandatory obligation against Salita. You are not forced to fight two mandatories in a row back-to-back. So once again, Khan fought Maidana exactly when he was supposed to and there was no purse bid because they agreed a deal.

As far as this thread is concerned ,lets agree to disagree as it is sidetracking the subject matter. I have opened a thread on your and my version of the events. Lets leave it there

It will be interesting to see how people here remember things and the facts will surface as a result.

Well, well. Now that you mentioned it; you are European if you’re white because Blonde hair and blue eyes are as sure as hell not American. If you want to call yourself American because you were born here that’s fine but you’re not native and Blonde hair and blue eyes aren't native to this part of the world..

FYI: Khan is WHAT HE IS and that's a Pakistani...

PRPP

Fair enough...then your not a real PR...you have non native blood

Oh and you seem to be painfully unaware that the term american was made up by an italien , Americo Vespucci, and the natives were told this term . Ethnic Euros are the true americans.

Khan is not a superstar

I'm still trying to figure out how and when Khan became a Superstar

Winning an Olympic Silver Medal at 17 years old is probably how and when.

[The Gambler1981]

They would have to pay him a lot because he wins this fight he gets at least 2 more pay days as good as this one and it could go much better. Collazo seems to be a pretty confident guy so he is probably thinking about the positive outcomes instead of the negatives.

Are they really going to pay Collazo for 3 fights, I suppose anything is possible but that would be paying a lot for what they would get. It would be much more cost effective to just pay the ref/judges and tell Khan not to get knocked out~

By that logic, everyone listed as medal winners can be classified as Superstars -- Which by all accounts is simply silly!!!!

Winning a SILVER medal doesn't make one a SUPERSTAR ..... Unless you're using some distorted reasoning, manufactured by Khan-fans that have too much time on their hands.

Manny Pacquiao - Floyd Mayweather are SUPERSTARS!!!

Khan in all honesty, is at best a wanna-be ..........

He is a superstar in the UK but not globally.

He is a superstar in the UK but not globally.

Then the question must be asked: By what measure does one qualify as being a Superstar in the UK??

Because outside of winning a silver medal -- nothing in Khan's career would qualify him as a superstar .....
