    To elaborate Khan is obviously worth that much to be paid the same as the main event fighter. He shall be relevant regardless, because he is a true star, while Chino is just riding the wave of Mexican-Americans getting behind him for now. We'll see where he goes after he loses his next fight.

    Maidana only got the second fight due to Khan being unavailable. This whole Khan begging for the opportunity is old stuff now.

    "If Amir Khan wants to flight Floyd Mayweather, we're going to fight on Sept. 13," Ellerbe said.

      Precisely.

      As I've stated a few times that he is just being talked about because Mexican-American fans are behind him, which makes a huge difference given the ethnic make up of U.S. and their involvement in boxing. Put him against one of theirs and we'll see how bright that star shines or even after this fight we'll see.

      He only got the 2nd bout cuz Khan was unavailable.

        British fans will be there to see Khan. They pay in one of the strongest currencies in the world and it will be for Khan, so who would be the A side in that? Especially if it is PPV. Money dictates everything as we know.

        Remember Khan was on UK PPV for his learning fights, so filling up an arena isn't a problem. He can do that without Chino.

          Khan would be the A side he has always been the A side. He has a lot of haters and fans that don't even watch boxing

              Are you in your damn senses? You think Khan would walk out second if they fight here in the Uk LOL? What makes you think that, seriously.

                Look Khan might not be well liked in the Uk but he's very well known and is a house hold name almost everyone knows who he is. He is a big draw and I have no doubt in my mind that his fight against Kell Brook would sell out Wembley in no time..


                His fight against Diaz was a sell out at Motorpoint Arena Sheffield and thats Brook's hometown, remember.
