Comments Thread For: Khan Explains Why He Didn't Demand a Canelo Rehydration Clause

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

The point he was making is, Khan did not attempt to disadvantage Canelo on the scales, despite Canelo being much larger than Khan.

Whether by catchweight or rehydration clause.

Khan is happy to fight Canelo at his weight.

You can say that Khan did not have the leverage..... but so what, he took the damn fight anyway.

Josesito Lopez did also. So what? Are you gone ride him hard too?

Boxing fans are hilarious. When a guy ducks a fight and asks for catchweights and bs, they bish and moan. When a guy goes up in weight, doesn't ask for a catchweight or any of that BS, they still bish and moan lol. Thats why boxing fans dont deserve sheet. I hope this sport becomes PPV only so we lose all the ****** fans that we have.

I didn't respect Khan before, but I am left with no choice but to respect him and give him props. He is a warrior. That is undeniable.

agreed.
for business or not, for "nothing to lose" or not, he deserves respect for taking this fight.

Well..... lil'G-string completely refused to negotiate with Canelo.

So yea, Golovkin would.

Do you have a source?

The truth is he wasn't in a position to demand one.

This is probably nearer the truth.

Khan just saw the big $$s and was not going to jeopardise them by trying to dictate terms.

"I was so thankful that I will finally be getting paid (damn you Manny and Floyd!) that I agreed to all of Canelo's demands on the spot. Actually hm.. that BJ is due today. Anyone have mouthwash?"

UH if he did, he wouldn't have gotten the fight.

It's an opinion, Khan had no leverage to demand a rehydration clause. Canelo didn't need Khan.

lol i cant help but think how full of shlt amir is everytime he talks

He had 0 pull to demand anything

You can't be sure. Khan brings a name in terms of both the American and British markets, which makes its for a great interim fight from Canelo's point of view. Canelo can carry ppvs on his own, but having another name to go against certainly makes it worth his time.


By rehydration clause obviously Khan could insist on a certain limit where both parties can be comfortable, something better than nothing.


Of course even the slightest possibility of Khan beating Canelo is giving Fl.omos nights mares. Too bad your idol didn't fancy his chances even though I think Khan would've lost a close decision.

Well, you can't make demands when the other guy is the megastar. You're offered the fight, take it or leave it.

Like Kell Brook had to vs Khan.

How much of a shot do you give Khan? Be honest lol.

Josesito Lopez also

Yeah well Josesito Lopez didn't walk way from a World title shot and a chance to make around $10 million in his weight class to move up 2 weights.

The fight is setup so Canelo can get a big KO win to setup the GGG fight. If Khan asks for a rehydration clause, that might make it difficult for Canelo to win by KO.

If you think Kahn has a chance to win, lets bet some real money. I'll take Canelo. $500 US of 500 pounds. your choice.

You down?
