Comments Thread For: Khan: Mayweather is Looking Bad By Downplaying Fights

[LacedUp]

Khan's strategy is to run his mouth on a daily basis so that, if a Mayweather/Pacquaio fight is not signed, he will be the next option. It could work.

I think it'd be a good fight if Pacquiao isn't made, but God damn, Khan has been begging for it. Even to the point of bringing up the east Asia market, I mean wtf.

I don't know why he's getting one article after another posted about him saying the same damn things. It's annoying, and I'm a fan!

Whatever makes you sleep at night mate.

What do my sleeping habits have to do with this ffs??

[thack]

Mayweather has already said that Khan is a nobody in America where only hardcore boxing fans know of him.I think also the penny has dropped that he is well known but not well liked the other side of the pond.His promise to bring a Hatton like atmosphere to Vegas turned out to be an absolute joke as a virtual no show.I have NEVER known a Brit to take so few fans to Vegas ...EVER !...Not even his twitter fans turned out !!!
Khan must get off his high horse otherwise he will talk himself out of every good payday out there , face Brook and take your retirement money before some one knocks you out for free !
We all want to see Manny v Floyd and only the worlds most deluded think otherwise !

That you clearly say all of those things to make Khan's win seem better than it is.

It worked for Ricky Hatton...

However Khan gets a lot of media attention regardless, what is silly is this site publishes the same interview but in snippets which makes him look worse as if he keeps begging everyday LOL.

This is true. Khan should have stayed in the UK and built a fan base. He had a huge one, but since he rarely is here, people won't follow him like previously. Plus he fought in December which is financially a bad time for most people to fly out.

VS Mayweather I have no doubt he could get 15k people though. Most UK boxing fans barely know Alexander.

No. I've had those opinions about Alexander's fights for years - apart from the Porter fight which I originally thought Porter won easily but when I rewatched with sound off it was a whole different story. It's got nothing to do with Khan. I would have said the same things about Alexander even if he'd never fought Khan. Always thought he was a very good boxer, even though he was a straight up quitter in the Bradley fight but not many people enjoy getting repeatedly headbutted.

Sept. for Khan fans is bad Dec. shouldn't be a problem ! Were Brook to fight Mayweather there would be a lot more than 15 k as Brook is undefeated and the new kid on the block who hasn't yet pissed off all the uk boxing fans like Khan has. Khan is damaged goods and they have to be careful with whom they match him with. This is no secret be doesn't make for a future world superstar does it !#FIGHTBROOK and save your bank account if nothing else.

If no Pac, then Khan is the only reasonable alternative

anything else will be viewed as a 100% duck
