Why on earth did Amir Khan take this fight?

[JJRod]

He is mandatory to Garcia so I am shocked he took a fight with Canelo instead of taking easy fights. However Canelo balloons to middleweight and is going to put Khan in a coma.

It's his last shot at a big PPV. No manny, no Mayweather, Cotto lost, so his only option was Nelo.

Props to him.

He wants the payday. He also thinks that being on Canelo's card may actually make him the A-side when it comes to other WWs.

Honestly, how much do u think Khan is gonna get fighting Canelo compare to fighting other opponents? Canelo is not Floyd or Manny. I dont think the purse is gonna be a huge different if Khan chooses to fight canelo or a bum off the streets.

I got Khan by KO.

Bingo! There's nothing more to it.

This fight should be used as THE example as to why boxing fans are jumping ship. Absolutely insane that this is real. 155 is not a weight class. Canelo blows up after weigh ins and will be huge on fight night. Khan has been knocked down and out by smaller guys. Amir khans ego...its just too much. I hope Canelo mercs this dude. This is a mismatch on every level.
