Comments Thread For: Khan: Brook Needs Me, Fight Will Happen on My Terms

Khan: Fight will happen on my terms...

There you go. Brook's team ends up taking orders from Khan. It's expected. They kept throwing Khan's name at the point of looking like beggars. They even pretended throwing Rios' name without intending to fight him. The most natural way is to keep taking on other fights, and not focusing too much on Khan. The impression was Brook is not taking any other fights because he might lose and the Khan fight will go down the drain.

I've read on BS that Bolton, Khan's home town, is ill-regarded in GB. Is that true? If so, what's up with that?

I wouldn't say ill regarded, it's just a standard city really.

In the UK many Southerners dislike the North, and vice versa. Bolton's a very working class Northern town with a lot of immigrants. People from more sheltered areas find that challenging and people in London just think everything outside of the capital is ****. They're right too, mostly.

No, he was undeniably a promising and attractive young Olympian. But media coverage is what built him into a household name. Very orchestrated stuff… he’s obviously got talent but he’s also a product of an industry designed to make money from recognisable faces. If you don’t understand that it’s ok, but most people do.

A true champion wants to test themselves and show they’re the best. They’re are many boxers that Khan could demonstrate his talents against, but he’s consistently pitted against lesser opponents. After the next fight, if it ever happens, Maidana, Peterson, Garcia & Alexander will be the 4 biggest names on his record (not counting olds like Barrera). He was forced into fighting Maidana and almost lost, ODLH wanted none of it before hand. Peterson & Garcia both beat him despite being hand picked underdogs and Alexander has a 50% KO average.

Brook, Thurman, Porter, Bradley, JMM, Matthysse would all make light work of Khan.

I agree with the last bit of what you said, but the champ takes the lion’s share and that’s all there is to it.

How do you "orchestrate" winning an Olympic medal?

He got media coverage because he won a medal at 17 ***in years old. No one did that for him. He was Britain's only contender at the Olympics in Athens for boxing .

I like how you claim that Khan was "carefully managed" but then also say he was "forced" to fight Maidana? LOL...how do those two things go hand-in-hand? We've seen the likes of Quillin give up their belts. Khan wasn't forced to do a damn thing. He also wasn't forced to agree to fight Bradley who was the number 1 at the time. So how can you say he didn't want to test himself?

The champ takes the lion's share? LOL...I'm afraid you have no clue what you're talking about. Martinez was the champ - did he get the "lions share" against Cotto? Baldomir was the champ - did he get the lion's share" against Mayweather?

I could go on but you get the picture....or at least I HOPE you do.

Last I checked Brook has the title and Khan makes no wants. Khan needs to worry about Alexander first. Brook could fight almost anyone for a sold out fight at Wembley; khan had years to fight Brook's calling of him out and chose to ignore Brook. Brook fought Porter who was credible. Tell Khan to go best up Thurman or Provo for a title shot. I'm soooooo tired of this Khan-job weasel.

I've been to London, and small towns like Bury St. Edmunds, Huntingdon Peterborough and the university town of Cambridge. The places and people all seemed cool (except Huntingdon, where some cvnt graffitied my car door).

How do you "orchestrate" winning an Olympic medal? ...

Orchestrate refers to media coverage, not winning a medal. It's an obvious point, but I see your need to try and turn it into something else.

...He got media coverage because he won a medal...

Originally. For a few of months until he turned pro. Then like all other boxers, because his promoters developed him as a cash cow.

...I like how you claim that Khan was "carefully managed" but then also say he was "forced" to fight Maidana? LOL... how do those two things go hand-in-hand?...

You should look up the meaning of mandatory challenger. All will become clear.

...The champ takes the lion's share? LOL...I'm afraid you have no clue what you're talking about...

You do

Perfectly

All those places are in the South. Next time you're in the UK you should visit the North too. It's quite different.... better in some ways, not so much in others.

damn ******, last i checked brook was the champ

Yes media coverage of him winning a silver medal at the Olympics when he was 17. That is why he got media coverage. What part of that don't you understand?

You should look up the meaning of mandatory challenger. All will become clear.

Like I said, Peter Quillin gave up his belt rather than fight Korobov recently. Froch is likely going to give up his belt rather than fight DeGale. There are numerous examples of people giving up belts to pursue other avenues. No one is literally forced into anything.

And I notice you keep ducking the fact that he agreed to fight Bradley who was the best at 140 at the time. So again....how has he not wanted to test himself against the best?

IBF rule 10-E

Oh Wow...lol. That's in a purse bid situation

I think you need to look up the meanings of certain things....if it doesn't hurt your head too much.
