Comments Thread For: Canelo-Khan Officials Set Down For May 7th Showdown

[SteveM]

Interesting... I've always wondered how much refs and judges get for a big time event like this.
It does seem a bit low to me.

Its waaaay low - so easy to throw in a 200k bribe and still not impact on a fight team's earnings yet hugely impact on a fighter's career.
Following on from yesterday's thread where the going-senile judge retired himself, this has stirred my curiosity. So, if for a major fight in the most hedonistic city of the world in the most capitalist country of the world the judges get just $3k, wtf do judges in Moscow or Manchester or Monaco get? This should all be more transparent. In this case it is but I think it should be known for all ranking orgs top ten contender fights.

Kenny Bayless?...Garcia flashbacks

I hope Kenny doesnt stop the fight prematurely like he did for the Garcia bout, he stopped it just as Khan was coming back to his senses. I still think the timing of that stoppage was ******, if he wanted to stop it, he should have done it earlier when Khan actually looked in serious trouble

Although i like Kenny, but not when he is suckin on Floyds pee pee

9 times out of 10 when Kenny is involved the fight is epic

I still can't get over how bad he ***'d Maidana over. Maidana even looked like he was gonna hit Floyd Bayless was right in the middle. Numerous times he stopped the fight even when Maidana had one glove free. Look like Canelo might have to forget about any inside gane plans against Khan.

This has to be GREAT news for Khan having Bayless as the ref. Bayless doesn't allow fighters to fight outbofbtheirbclinches and will break it up and reset them every time! And with Hunter as a trainer this fight is going to turn into a shty CLINCHFEST like Khan's last fight.

Kenny won't be able to save khan. If anything he'll be helping khan by ending it early

[Wyl-Out]

Kenny will make the K.D. more dramatic.. "FIVVEEE!! COME TO MEE!!"

Urgh

One person's opinion: Bayless allows far too much holding, gives far too many warnings, wants to be part of the show. J. Schorle is a far better referee.
