    Amir Khan's plan is obvious, but it won't work

    So I'm reading Khan is fighting Chris "let me out of the cage" Algieri next. Obviously he is looking for a low risk stay busy fight and hopes to get the May-Pac winner but I don't see that happening at all. Both guys probably gonna share 250 Million when it's all said and done. The only way both guys will ever fight after such a huge payday is if the make a rematch. I don't see Mayweather fighting Khan for 30-40 Million max after coming off a Pacquiao win/loss. He is probably gonna call it a career if no rematch is possible or fight Cotto or Canelo for much much more money and mainstream attention.
    Pacquaio on the other side is not fighting Khan since he is with Al Haymon and I don't see them sit together and negotiate another fight unless it's a May rematch. Arum himself said " who would want to deal with these guys again" according to Fat Dans article.
    IMO Khan shouldve taken the 5 M offer of Eddie Hearn and fight Brook in Wembley stadium this summer

        Khan doesn't get it. That he thinks Chris Algieri gets him Floyd Mayweather is just further proof that he doesn't get it. He's trying to reason that Algieri is why Pacquiao got the fight, the man's out of his mind.

          he is severely overestimating his drawing power if he thinks he can just tread water until the winner of mayweather-pacquiao grants him a shot. it's been shown in the past that for a shot at mayweather you need at least one significant welterweight win, and khan currently has none. best case scenario for him is being used as the comeback opponent for the loser of the big fight - which will probably be pacquiao and will probably result in khan getting splattered again, maybe for good this time

              he just feels himself. he's a narcissist and is devoid of any self awareness. he's just a lame through and through. this is the type of guy i'd fake a phone call for and excuse myself if i had to be in his presence. team no drama.

              EDIT: BUT i'll always purchase an amir PPV, the man has heart and a fighting spirit. he's GOOD for the sport.

                Khan should worry about getting more big name scalps under his belt rather than just going straight to the cash cow. He's been all talk for so long now and it's kind of crazy. I never thought the kid was this annoying or arrogant at times the way he has come across these days. Either someone is in his ear to act this way to get attention, or Khan has always been a prick and was hiding it to build a good guy image.

                I do know he's said some real lousy things about Roach and his condition before he got this annoying, so I'm assuming Khan is just a prick by nature.
