    Maidana is the A side.

    Khan has fought errrr Molina, Diaz and Collazo for his last 3 fights.

    Maidana has fought Broner and Floyd.

    3 Years ago things may have been different.

    Khan will tell everyone he would be the A side against Floyd or Manny, that is how completely detached from reality he is.

      Why was Khan paid the same to fight Collazo as Maidana was to fight Floyd?

            Maidana, he will be riding the coat tails of three geat back 2 back fights which of which were 2 of the biggest PPV's of the year, Meanwhile khan would have absolutely no hype behind him riding his mediocre wins and he gonna have the highlight angle of beating maidana many moons ago.

              Khan v Maidana on Box Office was more of a sweetener for the UK card which was a magnificent 7 event. Same card that DeGale KO'd Paul Smith on. Can't remember which other fights were on it, but there were a few cancellations and switches of opponents.

              If there wasn't a UK leg it might not have been PPV.

              Remember that Sky passed all together on Khan v Malignaggi 6 months before which ended up on ITV.

                If there wasn't a Khan fight, it certainly wouldn't have been PPV. The UK leg was basically an undercard. Khan carried the PPV.

                  Disagree there pal.

                  The card was put together by Fwank to be PPV, like the first magnificent 7, he wasn't promoting Khan at the time. It was a PPV to showcase Warren's fighters and upcoming stars, (DeGale, Cleverly, Brook, Macklin, Bellew, BJ Saunders) The card wasn't PPV worthy, but then again the standard of PPV cards back then was pretty shoddy and there were some cancellations I think, Clev might have been suppose to fight Braemer?

                  Where Warren could shoehorn in a US card as a sweetener he did. Like Khan v Oisin Fàgan was box office (lol) with DLH v Pacman being shown in the early hours as part of the PPV.

                  Khan v Malignaggi was passed on by Sky, as was Khan's two fights after Maidana (McCloskey and Judah, which were both on Primetime). Which suggest the Maidana fight was simply a sweetener.

                  As I recall the McCloskey fight was set to be on Sky Sports, they even ran promotions for it, but Hatton failed to produce a worthy undercard as he had agreed to and Sky walked away.

                      We already know what it is mane.

                      Maidana is the A-side to everyone not named PEDquiao south of HW.
