Comments Thread For: Saunders: Khan Did Celeb Show For 100K, Fight Brook For Millions!

[stellen]

He is winning a lot of casual fans by appearing on that show. Im sure it will pay off later on when they also start buying his PPVs. Especially for a domestic dust up with brook.

[LetOutTheCage]

Khan is done, nobody wants to see him in the ring again. He has lost all credibility now.

canelo isn't golovkin mandatory, and canelo has never been golovkin mandatory

LASt month Alvarez was ranked #5 in the WBC. I was like wtf...

Now he is right under, #2, after Charlo.

I don’t understand...doesnt a boxer have to pay the fee to list in any org? Since when did Alvarez and GBP commit to the WBC again? Seems like WBC antics the same way they tried to give those special belts.. Now Süleyman is just ranking Nelo’s name for the WBC benefit of the WBC. The WBC can’t enforce something that isn’t even real nor have authority over Alvarez when he didn’t do protocol to enlist.

Khan is being paid 4 million to appear on the show

O...K. Admittedly ITV have been after Khan for well over 5 years now increasing their offer each time but there is no way in hell ITV will go from their highest I'm A Celebrity cheque of £250k to £4m. He'll probably be the highest paid ever but there's not a chance it goes over £500k...unless ITV have signed him for a multi-fight deal which is possible. Please don't make the most ridiculous stuff up.

Besides ITV are not ******. They know the people that go in only go in to sell stories to the Murdoch rags for relevance and money and that's where they get their real paydays.

I doubt it. He's just gaining more haters and people who will spite him. Haters bring in the money to the boxing game and I'm pretty sure there's a whole new generation of casuals who want to see him knocked out now.

Meh. At least the kid gets paid.

On a side note I'd like to see Khan, Brook, Haye and Tony Bellend retire. They're all cringe worthy characters.

Khan and his ducking of Kell Brook, who is no world beater, is the worst case of letting a fight take damage & age in the history of the sport. The fight never needed "more time" to build up. The Brits always support their guys and even over here the states this fight would put up good PPV numbers

He is getting millions more fans. Just check out social media and you'll see, not hard.

Agree on The Hayemaker, big fan in his prime but his body is done. Bellew should because he is a bellend and Brooks should because he has glass eyes and ends up looking Asian after a few jabs to them with bowling balls also growing out of them

Out of all four of them the two that have done the least in boxing would be Bellew and Brooks. Khan at least fought some names, travelled a lot, made a ridiculous amount of money, amassed fans and haters and held two belts at 140lb. Even though he is the joke that keeps on giving.

Haye was pretty dominant at cruiser unifying very well. Had some great domestic match-ups too. Caused a lot of controversy wherever he went to drum interest. Successfully fought legitimate heavyweights when he moved up. Bulked up after his loss to Klitschko thinking size was a disadvantage, which he shouldn't have, which eventually broke him. His body cannot cope anymore.

Bellew achieved nothing other than getting found out at domestic level, plucked his way with the Matchroom cherry picking to avenge a rematch in his favourable weight, got sparked cold by Stevenson who is way smaller naturally and now that lady luck favoured him with Hayes injury in the first fight and now Haye pulling out again he's clearly got a tremendously inflated ego.

Brook on other hand...the less said the better. His resume is the only resume in boxing you could truly evaluate what he was about. Padded with bums, trilogies with bums, ducked every decent name that was offered, ducked a chance to unify with Vargas and be in a position of power. Cashed in his zero and pretty much gave every sign to his corner to quit when his hands were slumped down his sides before he got sparked out cold. Then quit again after making some bold comment about the mandatory he was meant to have fought already calling, what everyone knew was his first true test at welterweight, "Jeff Lacey". Claimed he'd never be able to show his face around Sheffield if he lost to "Jeff Lacey". Got booed out of his hometown. That said it all.

Very harsh on Brook. I think he made a big mistake moving up to fight GGG, but to say he cashed in his zero is insane. I don't think he was ducking fighters either, but he did struggle to get the big fights which is probably what led him to take the GGG fight in the first place. It was definitely no disgrace losing to Spence either in a competitive fight until the eye injury.

Millions more fans? Most are laughing at how dumb he is. How many people that go on that show go on to be hugely successful? Don't they end up on iceland commercials or some ****?
