Did Khan's Management Team Fail To Inform Khan of IBF Title Eliminator?
With this recent back and forth situation about the potential IBF Title Eliminator against Bradley that the IBF claim Khan's team rejected, Khan has publicly and categorically stated that he knew nothing about the Eliminator fight. There would be no utility for Khan to conceal any foreknowledge of it, he's an experienced pro now who is very much aware of how media can investigate and gather info fast. Khan really didn't know anything about the fight so that's why he's reiterated this sentiment repeatedly.
So as a result we have a likely explanation being that Khan's management team (Al Haymon?) didn't tell Khan about this potential match up, instead they rejected it without running it by Khan. Managers often do this but usually it's early on in a fighters career - not when the fighter is well-established like Khan - and especially not for something like a title eliminator which has a little more meaning than an ordinary fight.
So what happens now? Should Khan's management team (or the media-shy Al Haymon himself) issue a public statement of clarification? Does someone need to be fired from Team Khan for failing to inform Khan and creating this situation?Comment

Khan has faced better opposition - but his best period was 2009-2011.
In terms of recent achievements he has done nothing spectacular (apart from being knocked over by Diaz!)Comment

Algieri is no bum, he beat provodnikov and emmanuel Taylor who gave Broner massive problems. Brook is not getting an easy payday without risking it with big names. Bradley has been ducking Khan for more than 3 years now, regardless of the recent events which Khan seems to not know about anyway. Eddie Hearn just said he wants to make Frankie Gavin vs Kell Brook in May 30th and then Bum Bum Rios the same guy who lost every round to Pac in August, the guy who lost to Alvarado who provodnikov nearly killed and the guy who got a gift vs Abril. Yet they have the nerve to slate Khan for fighting Algieri who has only lost one fight to the fighter of the generation.
And he ducked Brook..Khan just wants crappy, low risk 'stay busy' fights until he finally gets to never fight Floyd or Manny.
You are the only Khan fan still holding his nuts in your mouth like a greedy squirrel.Comment

It's irrelevant anyway but Khan's management are pretty close to him, doubt they would not inform him of such a huge development.
Khan is running scared, has been ever since he was given the cold shoulder from Floyd.
Khan is one defeat away from becoming a bum.Comment

Khan is avoiding punchers, Bradley is certainly not that.Comment

kell is the same age as amir and has had more fights but there is only 1 recognisable name on his resume.
and lets not act like porter is some sort of killer, his style is amateurish and he had a draw with diaz not too long ago.Comment
