"Froch doesn't need the money" vs "Khan is stupid to turn down $5 million"

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Gtfoh! Those fighters sucked ass! Why are you giving him credit for fighting an ancient Kessler? shoulf give khan credit for beat MAB then. How many times did Johnson lose before fighting Froch? Taylor was decent. Bute was untested and exposed, groves was good but was getting out boxed till the Ko and Andre Dirrell was a good win.

Khan on the other hand has beaten guys like Maidana and Judah who gave Floyd Mayweather hell. P4p is there really anyone on his resume as good as either of them? Cause if they were they would have shown it against ward? Topping that off is victories over Alexander, Algeri and Malinagi. All proven fighters who have competed at the top.

You call Kessler ancient but give Khan credit for Judah?

Judah gave Mayweather trouble for 4 rounds in 2006.

Khan fought him in 2011.

He didn't turn it down. Brook went out and got stabbed and screwed everything up, also, the chance of brook not turning up is real possibility.

We've been through this in the other thread and you didn't come out too well. The stabbing had zero affect on a potential Summer 2015 fight which Khan b1tched out of like a little sissy to fight Algieri.

Funny how people can defend queen Khan.
Keep bringing up Algeri (a guy who was knocked down 8 times in 2 fights before Khan barely beat him), Paulie (don't even have to address this joke), Judah (washed up for years), Alexander (got school by Porter and Aaron Martinez (4 KO) just beat) and Maidana (long time ago, why no rematch?).

Khan has cherry-picked for years, he hasn't looked good against them and ducks any real challenges.
Haven't you noticed he has fought jokes for years? non-punchers and smaller fighters on the decline and he is ducking Brook (he is as "proven" as Bute, maybe less)
I think it will be funny when Khan gets KO'd again, we all know it is coming.
Froch fought everyone in the division (when the division was hot), Khan has ducked fighters from 2 divisions. Why hasn't Khan rematched anyone?

Only one year older then Taylor but ok let's pull Taylor, Keasler and Judah out of it, what about the rest?

I think I'm doing fine there thank you very much.

Froch is 38? Khan is like what 28? Froch has had his career, he has made his millions, he doesn't need anymore pay cheques that could put his health in jeopardy at this age, Khan on the other hand still has like 6 good years in him.

On this forum I've seen a lot of funny comments, and something that I've found amusing is how everyone mentions Froch has made enough money fighting Groves so he doesn't need to fight anymore but in Khan's case he's stupid to turn down $5million. In terms of legacy turning the fight down isn't the best move but purely from a financial perspective, Froch has a net worth of $20 million whereas Khan has a net worth of $30 million. To summarise, money should not be the main enticement for Khan to fight Brook this summer but rather to establish himself back at the top of British boxing and the top of 147.

Carl Froch, whose height as an amateur was a bronze medal at the 2001 World Amateur Boxing championship, was able to hardscrabble to a netfworth of $20m, stepping out in the biggest and best fights of any 12-stone fighter arguably in the history of the sport.

Amir Khan was a stellar amateur (101-9 record, Britain's sole boxing representative for the 2004 Olympics, Olympic medalist at 17, last amateur fight held at his home club's stadium), had "the rocket strapped to his back" by the time he was 18 years old, yet has accomplished what exactly?

If Amir Khan couldn't throw another punch in a professional fight, he'd retire as one of the biggest wastes of British boxing talent in the recent history of the sport.

A fight against Kell Brook, worldwide but excessively so in England, is a massively important fight. In addition to that, which is largely why the assumed money in brought up, it is a fight that would pay him double/triple any other fight out there (sans fights against Mayweather, Pacquiao, and a rematch with Danny Garcia, as that fight would have the chance of also being PPV in the US as well as the UK).

If he's not going to take the fight because it's one of the most meaningful fights to be had, what sense does it make to duck a fight that pays you three times the money of any other fight?

No he literally turned it down.

He was offered a career high pay day and he turned it down. That's a fact.

[kiDynamite92]

No he literally turned it down.

He was offered a career high pay day and he turned it down. That's a fact.

Negotiation initially begun discussing a potential May date. After he got stabbed, he took time off and made a return at the end of March. Khan was set to fight on May as Ramadan kicked off in mid June. The new date they came back with was a few days before Ramadan started in the UK, no way was khan going to accept that. Btw Khan is the A side in negotiations, it's not them offering Khan a career high pay day, it's Khan offering them one. If a fight was finalised it would be on Khan's terms, just like how FMJ does over his opponents. Was it unreasonable for Floyd's team to not accept the offers that Bob Arum tabled him?

i understand what khan is doing and i dont blame him but come on dude.....

you aint undefeated and you dont have the economic power or boxing status that you think you have.
