Comments Thread For: Brook: Every Time Khan Steps Up, He Gets Stopped!

[Rome-By-Ko]

More laughable excuses.

Khan almost lost at the weekend and if his china chin gets cracked again, the fight loses value. If he loses to Mayweather in easy fashion, it loses value. Khan's stock in the UK is already plummeting and he isn't a big name in America.

You can try and make every fight mature but then you often lose out. There are several examples throughout boxing history of this happening. There is already way more than enough money on the table for it to happen now.

Great post..

Joshua would KO wlad, he would do a corrie sanders on him. He's been KO'd three times you know? (one more than Khan btw ) Anyways back to the point...why would you say those numbers were unimpressive when Dan Rafael said they were really impressive for a friday night? you make up facts in your own mind just to suit yourself. You jumped ship to Team Brook cause he's undefeated? That's sad really.

Nope. Khan lost in 2008 and another 2 times since. I stuck by him and defended him for years until he turned down Brook to fight Chris Algieri. Pretty sure I explained this to you. I never said the numbers were unimpressive, I said they're not that impressive and it doesn't show that he's popular in America because he was fighting on free television.

As for the Joshua stuff....you can only laugh. He has proved nothing yet as a pro except the fact that he can KO complete stiffs.

Khan clearly won the fight 116-112, as the Compubox stats show. That's not even close to losing. What is "almost lost" is Brook's close MD against Porter. And Khan is most certainly a big name in US boxing if he's pulling record-breaking numbers for boxing on cable:

Khan-Algieri Draws Huge Numbers For Spike TV And PBC

"Magnifying the ratings result is that the telecast came opposite a memorable Game 7 of the NHL playoffs between the New York Rangers and Tampa Bay Lightning. The elimination game - won by Tampa Bay who faces the Chicago Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup - drew nearly 3.3 million viewers, the most ever for a non-Stanley Cup finals game on NBC Sports Network.

Despite the competition across the dial, viewership interest rose over the course of the Spike TV broadcast. The peak audience for the main event reached 1.12 million viewers, good for the most watched cable fight on a Friday night in more than eight years. The number surpasses the peak viewership of the first PBC on Spike TV main event, when a similar number of viewers tuned in as Andre Berto stopped Josesito Lopez to resurrect his career."

Khan is already worth around $35-40 million right now, making him the third richest current welterweight. And he earns $1.5 million per fight, along with millions from UK celebrity endorsements. He doesn't need the money from the Brook fight. On the other hand, it's Brook who needs the money, since he's only making $100-200k per fight.

Who cares about ratings? You don't know what Brook is making and you don't know what Khan is making. Are you getting paid? No, so STFU and ask Khan to make the best fight which is vs Brook.

Who wants to see Khan vs Marquez or vs Guerrero or vs Chaves or even Cotto? Nobody talks about those fights at all. We know he's not fighting Bradley, and WE KNOW he's not fighting Thurman for sure.

It's all excuses - I can't wait to see which featherfisted bum from 140 they'll pull up and market him to the high heavens. Probably Broner.

LOL.

There was a time Dirk would correct people on Peterson.

It was free tele fight................on a Friday night.

Spike TV is free television. It's not that impressive a number considering the population of America. The Barclays Centre was not full and most of the tickets were comps.

I had it a draw at the time of scoring.

More cringe.

I wouldn't call Garcia, Prescott "Steps up" to be honest, another thing i notice is the same shameless posters that defend Hatton for ducking Witter are the same ones deriding Khan now for not fighting Brook yet.....Hmmmm

[Ray*]

Great post..

You would say anything that agrees with your Khan agenda. Even if the posters making those comments are some of the worse on this site. You still cant get over the fact that people called Bradley out for ducking Khan.

[Ray*]

I don't get it. You all protest Khan is crap, he has no chin, you don't want to watch him fight , etc. But at the same time you are desperate to see him fight brook. The Irony.

Imagine if he had an iron chin !!!

Well Khan is an easy target in every aspect, at the moment am not going to be upset with him not fighting Brook, why? Because the fight would happen, we all know Khan wants the Mayweather fight for over 2 and a half now but he himself has mess the fight up with decisions he took, but this time around i know he is being careful what sort of fight he takes before he fights brook.

I think Khan is not a likable fighter and hasn't got the complete package to back up his nonsense - unlike Floyd.
