Comments Thread For: Khan: Roach is Trying To 'Sabotage' My Mayweather Shot

[KillaMane26]

Khan has officially lost it.......LOL I think Victor Ortiz laced his blunt

[Wicky]

It's relevant because Froch has been quite salty against a guy he can't fight in the ring. Why? cuz Khan is headlining where he can't. It's obviously a big deal.

Khan filled up stadiums against fringe contenders like Paul McCloskey (16 k) and he can and will easily replicate what Froch did against Brook. Khan chose to fight in States because big fights from 140-154 lbs are all available there.

Only recently Brook fight started to matter because he now has a belt.

Froch/Groves sold 60,000 tickets in 1 hour for the national stadium, a sold out event that had to have the capacity increased to meet demand by 20,000+. The BBC interviewed people leaving after the show, many declared they were casual fans and had never been to a boxing match before. Massive, quantifiable, cross over appeal to the general public.

Khan's fighting tomorrow in Vegas to half empty house and the MGM can't even hold 17,000 people. I can still buy multiple tickets sitting together at any of the advertised prices including the cheap seats that often sell first. People aren't exactly killing each other to watch Khan fight, and beyond the boxing fraternity nobody gives a **** about Khan.

ODLH tries to make out Khan is some kind of megastar and casual fans such as yourself are mindlessly repeating the message.

The numbers don't back your argument, so continuing to argue the point is just embarrassing.

Khan-Diaz was in Sheffield, which is far from his "own backyard".

It was on the other side of the ocean yet still didn't sell out. I'm having a hard time believing they would be inclined to travel to Vegas if he couldn't even sell out Sheffield on his comeback home fight

amir khan please put things in proper perspective by watching these...





focus on your fight !

[The Guillotine]

where does khan get the gall to think he desrves a shot at floyd.

one) the public doesn't want to pay ppv for a two round glassjaw fight.

two) the dlckhead hasn't earned a fight of that calliber.

Comparing two British fighters fighting in Britain in one of the most hyped rematches in history to a British fighter headlining in Las Vegas against a not very well know American fighter?

Ok then....

Truth be told. Khan is a front runner, but I have lost it for Floyd. As much as Khan is annoying, Floyd fights cost too much for me. Too many unhappy fans in his wake, glove and bite issues. Khan can fight Floyd, I just do not see people rushing to buy it on PPV.

Julio Diaz.....Floyd Mayweather.....no difference of course....

Less than 60 miles. In international boxing terms that's not just his backyard, it's practically in his back pocket. Diaz is from Mexico, fighting a Northern British fighter in a Northern British City is VERY backyard you idiot. it doesn't have to be in his parents living room in Bolton.

Yeah... answering a point that somebody else made about Vegas. But you already know that.
