Comments Thread For: Provodnikov Heads To Showtime - With or Without Khan

[Bronx2245]

If Khan is aiming for Thurman, Porter, or Garcia, then I understand. If not one of those, then I can't understand why he would turn down Provodnikov. That would have been a statement win, and he should have been able to easily outbox Ruslan! Khan needs a big win if he's gonna get Pacquiao or Mayweather!

He needs 2 fight @ JWW, not @ '47...

LOL. It's good that Provo is heading to Showtime. Let's see who among these ultra-protected Haymon fighters is/are willing to fight the Russian.

Well, looks like it was true with Banner moving to Showtime.......at least Ruslan. That's why all the Banner guys were all staying quiet, plus explains Berman saying Banner has a ton of Showtime dates

Understand this, if Khan fought Provo he'd be knocked out in the first round, hence the reason it ain't happening.

I don't care about the Haymon/HBO/whatever situation, but Ruslan has already fought a few of the HBO guys so it'll be good to see him against some fresh meat.

Who else is with Banner?

Fight Amir Imam. Don King was at the weight in yesterday.

I can't see that happening. Haymon is there. That's the reason Banner went to Showtime I belive because beef with Arum.
