Could Team GGG take a page from Team Khan's book?
Amir Khan has been salivating for a big money, big exposure fight for a very long time now. After failed negotiations with Pacquiao and Floyd, he now gets his opportunity against the #3 PPV attraction in Saul Alvarez. But HOW did he get the fight? He took a RISK, that's how. He's got heart and balls, something that not a lot of boxers seem to have these days.
He knew that going up 8 lbs is potentially dangerous for him, but he said he was up for the challenge anyway. He's going up in weight to go up in revenue. This payday alone will trump what he's made from fighting Garcia and Algieri, and HE made that happen.
You gotta work your way up the latter, and he found his opportunity and took it. Something that I believe a lot of fighters can take a page from. Khan knows what it means to move up in class. He's doing so by fighting Canelo.
Enjoy that payday, Mr. Khan. You deserve every bit of it.
