Comments Thread For: Frank Warren Praises Khan, Takes Jabs at Eddie Hearn, Brook

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The I told you so' brigade have been out in force this week making themselves heard, after Canelo Alvarez's one punch knock-out of the brave Amir Khan. But Amir knew the score himself all along. If he were to leave himself open and get heavily clipped, it would be lights out and, unfortunately, that proved to be the case.

Khan was paid to be a sacrificial lamb. And he was cool with it.
If he is such an intelligent fighter how come he did not watch the kirkland fight? Same combo to Ko khan. Further more canelo set up that hook all night! Khan thought that hook was going to the body and tried to block it with both hands. Then...nap time. But a cool 13million is not bad at all.

Warren is praising Khan for taking the Canelo fight for less money than the fight all of Britain wants to see with Brook.Khan says boxing is a business but then took the Algieri fight for peanuts when he could have fought Brook for £8-10 million......I again smell a rat !

I dont know what you are reading or who is feeding you lies, Amir got more than 12 Millon I doubt the brook fight would have generated £10 millon. A big fight like this is worth more to Khan considering Joshua got over 3 millon for a British fight from Eddie Hearn

Khan got paid over 12 millon after everything nobody would take a bigger risk for less reward:*******:

Khan's purse was $2 m dollars purse plus a slice of the ppv HBO (which is so low HBO refused to realise it!) plus what Boxnation would pay him because sky couldn't sell it....didn't bid it!
No one knows exactly what he ends up with most estimate around $6m , he would have made nearer £10 m($14.5m) fighting Brook even his dad admits this!
Don't know what you're reading maybe Amir's twitter page.

That is impossible, he got more than 2millon, how much do you think Naseem was getting on HBO not even PPV more than 2millon a fight

That figure you mentioned is what is given to Tax man, not making this up.

He would get £2 Millon for fighting Chris Algeri

Oh, Frank Warren, please shut-up about Eddie Hearn won't you. You're a crashing bore. Have you noticed he doesn't bother to respond or put you down? Just accept your position as Britain's number two promoter and suck-it-up.

Warren is slagging off Brook as though Kell is hiding from top competition, but which of the cream at 140 is calling Brook out. A bit like the situation with Golovkin, Kell Brook is annihilating mandatories while waiting for a title unifier. The bad mouthing of Brook by Fish Eyes is a bit rich given he's the guy who promoted Ricky Hatton's WBU title defences against a string of has-beens and never-wozzers, many of whom weren't sturdy enough to be called stiffs, selling it to the gullible as "world championship boxing." He's now intimating that his offer to Brook of a fight with Liam Smith would somehow constitute a step up into the big time for Kell. Lol. Smith won his 'crown' by predictably flattening John 'Too Fragile' Thompson after spending the first few rounds getting slapped about by a guy who will never be a factor at genuine world level and has since defended against a domestic novice in Jimmy Kelly. Smith is about to face Pedrag Radosevic who was chewed up in four one sided rounds by Felix Sturm and has faced only one other 'name' opponent, managing a points win over the then 38 year old Giuseppe Lauri, a guy that's been stopped eight times. Warren says Slavs 'love a fight' which apparently makes Radosevic a worthy challenger. It would be an insult to employ Frank as audience warm-up act at the Comedy Store. He should be topping the bill.
