Khan is expanding his brand and diversifying his portfolio meanwhile his so called domestic rival holidays with his pittance purses in chavy holiday destinations waiting for his 1 big pay day.

And it's investments like this which have helped Khan amass a fortune of $30 million.

NOT an MMA fan, so could be a little biased here.....

But the MMA product really is sub-standard compared to boxing.

Also, aren't there different competitions within MMA ?

Not sure, but I thought there was ?

Isn't there a UK competition, and an asian competition, etc ?

If so, then how can the best be fighting the best ?

Isn't that a little like Top Rank insisting that the best fight the best, but only against inhouse opponents?

Nah MMA definitely isn't sub standard compared to boxing I feel extremely confident in saying as a fan of both sports. If you look at indie MMA rankings you'll see the UFC has a disturbing critical mass of MMA talent under their umbrella. I'd say 90%+ of the top 10 is in the UFC & 80% of the top 15, top 20 is in the UFC. You could take the top 3 or 4 boxing promoters & not have that sorta critical mass of talent under that combined roster. The UFC consistently puts on big fights between top guys that no one in boxing, HBO included, is capable of doing.

There are several different leagues, but I'd compare it to MLB & the minor leagues. The UFC is the MLB, Bellator & a couple other leagues could be considered Triple A. Jungle Fights & many other leagues would be Double A & all the rest would be like A ball. This Super Fight League might be a Double A league at best imo. And they got similar talent levels comparable to how baseball works. When a guy shows some talent he tends to start higher & get to the UFC quicker. This is ideally how I'd love to see how boxing work. You could still have several major promoters or PBC like outfits, but they'd be scaled towards different talent levels.

Kelly got $200k for the Porter fight, took him forever to get to that point in his pathetic career and people think he wants Khan for glory and bragging rights and NOT PURELY for monetary gain, LMFAO.

Khan is Kelly's golden goose.

Khan with or without Floyd or Manny is extremely comfortable. People like to ignore all that though.

Khan should just keep his promise and retire at 28 then. Stop wasting everyone's time.

Khan should have had a gag order put on him by his team a very long time ago, what more can you expect from an idiot from where he's from in the UK.

However I'm assuming he's making too much bank to want to retire at 28 though so...

Not from boxing. He's making 5 times less than what he could
