Comments Thread For: Khan's Father: Hearn's Trash Talk Blowing Brook Clash

[wlliam]

Weak stuff. Trash talking has always been a big part of boxing culture nd it helps in the build up of a fight. So let me get this straight, Khan doesnt want Brook trash talking him or he wont fight him?

Also i dont understand how Khan is considered a "top guy", you gotta fight the top guys to be considered one, rightt? And i also dont understand how hes trying land a big fight by NOT fighting top guys. Smh. Weak sauce.

Khans father is a good man, quite and reserved

Unlike wide boy loud mouth tosser Hern, who nobody likes

Its no wonder Frampton doesnt want to deal with him, Groves refuses to work with him, Khan dislikes him...

He's the only promoter i have seen who trolls on twitter

[thack]

It's complete nonsense coming from Khans dad, he's upset by hearn and Brook but seemly not by Mayweather who calls him among many things 'a nobody' , the only sense is a massive swerve and it's obviously another lie that Amir sees this as an easy fight.

Ridiculous? That's harsh.

5 x his best payday and no obligations is hardly ridiculous. Frank Warren just said it was a great offer too - obviously they would know more about it.

They also offered 60/40 for the winner.

Khan has no reason to be angry with Hearn other than Kell Brook now has more momentum than Khan with the British public.

So if they offered Quigg 200k flate rate, would Hearn accept? Would probably be Quigg's highest payday doe! You're the same guy who said $40m was a great offer to Pacqauiao.

Just because it's higher than what you've earned before doesn't make it a great offer for the level of the fight.

60/40 to the winner on a Matchroom Show in Quigg's hometown. Yeah ok.

I keep asking this question - would Hearn accept 60/40 to the winner against Ward or Golovkin in America for Froch?

The Hearns rubbed Khan up the wrong way over another laughable Hearn created controversy - the McCloskey fight. He vowed never to work with them again after that. I personally don't accept it as an excuse not to fight Brook but I can completely see where Khan is coming from with regards to these smug ****s.

What an idiotic comparison. Quigg made close to 200k before. Hearn offered him 5 times his best purse ever. He's never going to get that anywhere else.

Yes I did say that, that was right after he'd been knocked the *** out. On a matchroom show? Are you such a blind fool that you think ITV who's shown 1 boxing fight in ten years would ever come up with anywhere near that amount? Never is when they would do that. So how else would they make it happen?

Don't be silly. If Hearn is putting up £1.5 guarantee which would more than satisfy Frampton, then he'd try and get as many advantages in his fighters favour of course. You do realize that's his job right? Or do you suggest they should fight on ITV for 300k each in Belfast? Don't be ridiculous.

I don't remember what the McCloskey situation was - All I remember is that they lobbied for a rematch after it was unjustly stopped because of a simple cut.

Obviously he would never do that - but the situation is hardly the same. Froch made more in his last fight than what Ward and GGG has made combined in their whole careers. He brings it all to the table - In this case, it's very very different.

I have to agree with you there. Im not a huge Khan fan. Even though he comes from the same background as me but his father, as far as ive seen in interviews etc, is humble and isnt the brash talker like most boxers fathers are nowadays. He seems like a genuine guy.

It's funny how such a "genuine guy" can come up with such a lame excuse. Meanwhile Amir Khan is somewhere typing on Twitter about how Kell Brook is such a nobody and wearing a Floyd Mayweather mask. Shah Khan and Bob Arum should come together to form a "Genuine Guy's" commitee. lol...

[peplz]

Barry Hearn has probably said some of the worst things about Khan, far worse than his puppet son.

At the end of the day, I understand Khan's gripes with them but the best way to teach them a lesson would be to beat up their cash cow and run off with £5million plus

"I refuse to fight you because you have said hurtful things about me"... Yeah that statement is really reasonable. Forget the money. Forget the public demand. . It's all about Amir Khan's pride. Pathetic.

[peplz]

Yeah cos Floyd was very receptive about working with Arum. Only took the 6 years

I can see why the Hearns rub people up the wrong way. Look at that ridiculous offer to Frampton. They need to realise when they are the B-side and stop trying to arrogantly dictate to A-side fighters when they are the ones who need the fights more to fulfill PPV dates to Sky.

Wow. You really win the prize for loyalty to someone who doesn't deserve it. If you want to defend Amir Khan and his father's absolutely ridiculous excuses then more power to you.

It's not really different. Froch is the A-side and Hearn knows that so he would never accept 60/40 to the winner against someone who is a clear B-side.

Well whatever, offer 1p more than what Quigg's highest purse was and it's still his highest purse and something he wouldn't get somewhere else - does that make it a good offer for a fight of this magnitude? No it doesn't.

Quigg is a clear B-side against Frampton - so Frampton should be offered the higher split of all the revenue. Brook is a clear B-side against Khan - who knows what the actual deal Hearn was offering was? Was it $5m guarantee flat rate?

Hearn needs to stop acting like he controls boxing and everyone should dance to his tune. He's beginning to look like a royal **** and very desperate indeed.

"I refuse to fight you because you have said hurtful things about me"... Yeah that statement is really reasonable. Forget the money. Forget the public demand. . It's all about Amir Khan's pride. Pathetic.

Mate, I already said I don't accept it as an excuse not to take the fight but I understand where he is coming from.
